I usually go for the, "stand up in you driver seat with both hands out the roof, while dancing a jig....

If it is an attractive female driver, I also go out of my way to not only wave, but give them my phone number and tell them if they need anything, anything at all give me a shout.

Hmm... interesting... being a roadracer, sportbike rider, AND cruiser rider, I've always wondered why other Harley riders are such a$$holes.
My thoughts are, wave to everyone on 2 wheels while on 2 wheels... wave to everyone in a Vette, while in my Vette.
Simple.

So I don't wave at them, but I will nod.

I've been doin the two finger wave thingy. I got the thumbs up once from a red '90 similar to mine, that was cool.
This one time I saw this passanger in a red c4 with her head out the window and two hands flailing in the air, that was a good wave
that was right on highway one if it was ne of you good going
I still am waiting for the day when I can pull over to assist another vette, thats gotta be cool.

I wave at other Corvettes.
I used to have an International Scout, and other Scouts would waive at me.
I used to work downtown and wear a suit. Other guys in suits would look at me and nod when walking on the street.
It seems like there's a pattern.

Here's the protocol, wave at all Vettes. If one doesn't wave back or a certain generation seems to snub you, please don't post about it. Please!
