I was thinking about this thread this weekend as I was traveling to and from northern Mo. I saw about 5 vettes, which is a lot for this particular trip. I waved to all of them. 1 6, 2 4's and 2 3's. I was in my Dodge Ram and I don't think any of them waved back. But you know what. I don't care. It's like saluting in the Army. You salute the rank not the person.

I wave at the vette, not the owner or driver. Heck I may not not even like the owner anyway.

I also wave at any cool car I see. It's a car thing I suppose.

That could also have been the wave lock out option working, like the 1st to 4th lock out, don't like that
