Corvette owner for many years and sad to say, it seems the wave is a dying gesture. While I continue to uphold the tradition, more of today's owners seem to be oblivious of their surroundings, let alone acknowledging other Corvettes. Sad really.

Other owners returning the wave are getting rather rare anymore.

I wave to every Vette, and will even stick my arm out of the window on the interstate for one going the opposite direction.

Yes, even C4s.

The wave is alive here in Minnesota! (OK, an occasional headlight flash from late models but I think that counts too)

I think it is dying out. Me and two other friends went for a mountain drive and car show Sat. and a C7 roared up behind me and when he passed he nor his lady passenger even looked my way. Pecker Heads NMHO. I still wave

Corvette owners appreciate the car so why not wave and affirm.

Always wave and don't take it personally when someone does not wave back. Maybe they've never had a Corvette before and don't know to wave. They will figure it out eventually.

Maybe there had been a tiff...
Lady: "Why are you driving so fast?!?"
Dude: "I'm qualifying!"

If your vette isn't red, white, or of course yellow, they blend in with traffic!! Let's go GM AND PAINT WITH EXOTIC COLORs!

Just returned from a 3400 mile first road trip in our 2017 Corvette. Drove from Houston,TX to Niagara Falls and back. Waved at every Corvette we saw but not a single one waved back. Not to worry we will continue to wave despite poor results!
