I wave at all Vettes, if I see them in time; even got a wave back from a C5 this afternoon on the Parkway...

If this thread gets one more Vette owner to wave at other Vettes, then it's worth the space...

The novelty will wear off after a year, trust me. Then you'll be just another one of us bitter folks bitching about wave threads.

I wave!
I wave to all generation Corvettes.
And when I'm in the "Farm Truck" and see a Corvette, I wave anyway.
It's cool to share a common thread with people.

I went on a corvette run this weekend with a friend of mine who is in a club. It was ok...but after seeing the club members and how **** retentive they are AND how old they are and how slow they drive, I'm not sure they can lift their hands to wave. Now the non waving makes sense. I bought a corvette because it's a SPORTS car. All I heard was winning about the bumps. At 40 miles an hour , there were 1/4 mile gaps between cars. OY!

I wave. Seems to be going good this year. Only one no wave back so far. Usually old farts who shouldn't be driving anyway. I'd rather them focus on the roads anyway.

Sounds like you're talking about me.
Didn't realize I was THAT old.



I'll wave if I remember to concentrate on it.

I wave. I even get waves from oncoming interstate lanes, I can hardly see their hand it's so far away!

Dude that lives somewhere close to me has a blue C4 Vette. The first couple of times we passed each other on a 2 lane road I waved but he didn't, or at least I didn't see it. The other day he initiated the wave. He had his targa top out and I saw his hand out the top

With the caliber of most drivers on the road these days, I find myself doing the one finger wave more than anything.....
