And thats another thing.............
....My horn doesn't work, so I just rev it up when I want to make some attention. Think that has any thing to do with the "no wave" thing?.............Life in sunny Californians rough.............

When I first got my C5, I didn't know about the Corvette Wave thingy.
It took me a few Corvettes to Realize what was going on.
Then I didn't know if I should wave to only C5's or all Corvettes... LOL
I'll wave at ya now no matter which Vette I'm Driving.

It will be great if this stupid "tradition" goes away. It is one of those little things that gives corvette people the reputation of being snobs among car guys. "I am soooo special, and YOU are soooo special too , because we have this little secret that the peasants in their spam cans can't understand.... we are cruising in our ohh so special corvettes!
Get over it! This far along in history, most people that really want a corvette have one or have had one, or several. Sorry, but in the end it is just a car - better than most - worse than many - a frickin car. GEEZ!, I have owned 12 of them, some bone stock, and some highly modified, and they were never my life nor my identity. Now...

I got my C3 in November so I had very little time to drive it before the salt trucks were out. It never occurred to me to wave to other Corvettes but I only recall seeing one before hibernation kicked in. Now I know and you can rest assured I will be waving my arm off this spring.
