He was an old C-3 guy, and he was bragging , you know kinda how a girl thats been A waitress, tips.
(just kidding of course)

 

What does she wave if she's not wearing a bra?

I give a full hand wave to all generations, and I get about a 50% return.

One day on the way home from work I saw a black good looking C4 (seriously) coming up from behind me in the fast lane. As he pulled alongside I looked over and we exchanged a wave. He then continued on, but not really pulling away. When the traffic in front of me started to slow, I pulled in behind the C4 and tailed him for the 10 mile drive up the hill. When we got to town I saw that the stop light was red, so I pulled back into the slow lane and we ended up right next to each other. I looked over at him and we exchanged a nod before the light turned green and we went our separate ways. Was a fun drive.

 

I need to check my URL. It appears I wandered into the C4 forum.

 

Steve......some day's you just crack me up.....today is one of them!

I needed a good laugh.....as I have been taking it on the chin pretty hard here of late!

All the best!

Stay in tune....

 

Time to change club affiliation.

It's a shame some folks managed to sleep through English class every year they were in school.

 

I live in a rural area and hardly see any C3s, except one day when I turned at the second light in town and another red C3 like mine was going the other way. Both of us were too surprised and didn't have enough time for a wave.

The ones I do wave to are all C5 and C6 Vettes, and I don't remember any of them not waving back. A lot of them waved first.

I'm still ignorant in the Jedi Way, so I've been waving to every Vette I see!

english Class; were hily, over-rated, Who wants to sit there but in their all day!!!111

 

That was a Harley meeting !

 

I get waves from nearly all C1/C2/C3's...most 'classic' cars [other than Corvettes]....many everyday driver's, regardless of car...about half of the C4/C5 crowd....and almost never from a C6 driver . But, then, some of their heads are so far up their that they can't see too well and probably miss my wave.

Ok, Ok....I don't really put C1-C5 owners who also have a C6 in with that group.

 

After finally driving My first Vette I ever owened, I was always aware of the wave and have always looked at Vettes as they went by. I finally passed by another Vette while I was driving mine and forgot about the wave as She came past in Her C4 She waved and it kind of snapped Me out of My staring transe and I waved back. Not sure if She seen Me wave I held My hand up so She could see I waved, I had the top down of course. Three cars later was a C6 I waved to him but no response. I also have people in other muscle cars wave too, which is kind of neat. I also have children wave or point from the side of the road. Also very neat. My Wife hates the staring by everybody and I tell her wait till the car gets paint, Im pretty sure people are going to gather around it when We stop. This is something all Vette owners can be proud of, We get looks and don't have to be snobs about it. So here is three cheers for all Vette owners.Sorry about the long post.

 

 

Leave her at home and wave however you want without any lip

 

Thought about askin the wife about doin that one ...but... on second thought, if done during a slight cross wind, there's a chance my car may become airborne .

 

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted already.

Corvette Wave

SAVE THE WAVE
There's one item of standard equipment that comes as a pleasant surprise to every new Corvette owner. It's an instant wave of recognition he or she receives when they meets one of their fellow Vette owners on the road. Ever since Corvette No. 00001 first met Corvette No. 00002 on the road, their drivers saluted each other with waves. A good Vette owner relishes encountering other Vettes as he drives. At first he experiments with his waves, running the gamut from the gaping "yoo hoo" to the ultra cool "two finger flip." He perfects his timing, making sure he affects neither a too-early wave, nor the jaded "oh brother" too-late variety. Determined not to be one upped, he even develops a defence mechanism for non-wavers, usually settling on the "Wave"? My hand was just on the way to scratch my head" approach. (This is especially useful when you're not driving your Vette, but you forget, and like a dummy, you wave anyway.)
Indeed, one of the most perplexing problems facing a would-be waver is what to do when driving next to a fellow Vette owner. Passing him going in opposite directions is one thing. Greetings are exchanged, and that's that. But what happens when you pull up next to a guy at a light, wave, nod, smile and then pull up to him at the next light, a block later? Wave again? Nod bashfully? Grin self-consciously? Ignore him? Or take the chicken's way out and turn down the next side street? If you're expecting an answer, you won't find it here. Sad to say, some questions don't have any.
Girl-type Corvette drivers also have a unique problem: to wave or not to wave. This miss or misses who borrows her man's Corvette for the first time is immediately faced with this quandary. Should she wave first and look overly friendly, or ignore the wave and look like a snob? Most ladies who drive their own Vettes prefer to suffer the latter rather than take a chance of being misread. For this reason, all girls are excused for occasionally failing to return a well-meaning wave. So are new owners who are still learning the ropes.
There is no excuse, however, for a guy who refuses to return the wave, not out of ignorance, but of arrogance or apathy. While this type of behaviour is the exception to the rule, it seems a few owners of newer models refuse to recognize anything older than theirs, while some others simply won't wave, period. Boo on them. These ding-a-lings don't seem to realize that they are helping to squash a tradition that had its beginnings back when most of us were still driving tootsietoys.

SAVE THE WAVE

 

I don't know why some of you guys are down on C5/C6 drivers. Most are former owners of older Corvettes, and many still own both. I drove a C6 that I showed for 2 years ...... and I always waved. That was Corvette #9 in my life and I was the same person then as I was before, and am now. Only now with a '72 LT-1 with A/C, because I wanted something rare that would take off in value. But those C6's do have it all going on - comfort AND unbelievable performance. At every show I go to we're all one big happy family. And I haven't experienced this failure to wave either.

 

I wave to other Corvettes of all generations, muscle cars, cool looking classics, foreign roadsters, and the occasional mini-van just to keep 'em guessing. Living in NJ, lots of drivers wave at me in such a way as to tell me "I'm number 1!", I really enjoy that. Sometimes I pull up next to another driver on the highway and start screaming "PULL OVER!!!! PULL OVER!!!! with a panicked look on my face and waving my arms wildly. When they pull onto the shoulder and stop, I just keep going.

 

The late-model owners that choose not to wave usually are first-time Corvette owners. I've gone to lots of car shows, and most of the C6/C5 folks like to park together and not intermix with older Corvettes. I think that is the same mentality that chooses not to acknowledge all Corvette drivers with a wave when on the road.

As you mentioned, many late-model owners also have owned [or still own] earlier series cars...and they usually wave and don't have their 'nose in the air'. But, there are many that are in a world all their own.
