The "WAVE"
It might be just me but does everybody else see people in their Corvettes waving at you while you are in yours?

The "wave" isn't just a corvette thing when i was on my motorbike I give the wave to other bikers. When i'm driving along in one of my mustangs other people in their mustangs give me the wave.
76_Stingray good thing you do two, or three fingers if you only did one someone like me might turn around and chase you down.

I throw the wave to all Vettes and classic muscle cars I see when I'm out. I do it when I'm on the Harley too. Now the C5 & C6 guys......

I respect anyone that puts effort into saving any make or model of American car.

I knew about the wave when I was young. My dad told me that when you get certain cars everyone with like cars waves at each other when passing...At the Time he had a Porsche, but he told me if he had a Corvette he would get more waves....

....seems like hardly anyone waves, especially in their leased C5s & C6s. It's more of a Jeep thing now anyways.
....my Dad bought a brand new '68 MGB and they always waved to each other.

Don't give up hope yet. My first wave while out in my '70 was from a guy driving a ZR1.
