I'm near atwater, I'll wave if I see you. I'm sure those other C3's were distracted by the stop, stop and don't go anywhere traffic.

I wave to any Vette I see if .....one I see you and two can safely do so with out rear ending the car in front of me.
The mature drivers in the C-2's never miss a wave they're experienced.
Another C-3 driver will always recognize his own.
I find the newer C series ie.... C-5 and newer just aren't with the program.
Either the old Guys are sight impaired or just don't care and the younger ones driving the newer vettes probably don't know I'm in a corvette.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Marshal

Wave because it's the right thing to do. Just don't expect to get a wave back.

I actually had a C6 pull up next to me this past weekend, waved and gave me a thumbs up. I sat there stunned while the light turned green and the car behind me honked to wake me up. Actually I was looking over his C6, it was nice.

Almost all the old Vettes you see are owned by Snowbirds that got interested in Vettes as wanting something to do and are retired with only time on there hands buying Vettes, sometimes sold many times over....and never even knew what a Vette was until they got to Florida......the only wave they knew is from the Ocean not from a car let alone in a Vette...in all fairness this doesn't to apply to the near lifetime Vette owners that have waved at Vettes and have been familiar with that gesture since near day one....
......
However the new guys are trying ....and give them credit their learning....

and i`ll wave to that or drink to them.....
