Re: Finally a C5 waves (TJR)
Aw .. come on. It's not a C4-C5 thing. I've got both and I've been snubbed by both C4 AND C5 guys in both my cars. Some people just don't get it. I continue to wave at all Corvettes, whether they respond or not. Actually I get more waves from non-Corvettes and pedestrians than from other Corvettes of any era.

Re: Finally a C5 waves (LT1)
Today, on a 200 mile trip in the C5, I passed 4 different C4's and I being a well trained C4 owner,I waved. All of them had this dumbfounded look and only one recovered fast enough to wave back. Probably the first time they saw a C5 wave.

Maybe it's location :eek: :eek:
Yesterday I got two C5 wave's. Cute blonde in a Navy coupe, and she actually beat me to the wave. The other was on the Freeway, we were both in the left lane, Silver Z06.

I just realized I wave with four fingers:eek:.
I get a lot of waves back. I find that no geneation has more "non wavers" however. Every generation has their no wavers.

Re: Finally a C5 waves (TJR)
I am such a friendly guy, I make a concerted effort to roll my window down and stick my hand out the window :D I firmly believe in the tradition of waving at fellow owners... even people who just appreciate Corvettes. Although I am still getting accustomed to one Mississippi custom... when driving in the country (there is a LOT of it here), EVERYBODY waves. My gf had to teach me to wave (back) at everybody in the boonies, b/c they ALL wave at you (no exageration). :cheers:
