Default I caught my first wave!!!

I have had my vette since July 17th. Everytime I am out and pass a vette, nobody waves. I wave to them but they don't wave back. I was getting very frustrated.

Today I was out cruising around with my brother-in-law. We past three corvettes in a row. A C5 and then 2 C4's all three of them gave me the wave.

I just wanted to share my excitement since I was down and disappointed about the wave :cry

Anybody else catch their first wave? :seeya

I didnt even know about *the wave* when I bought my vette. The first day I noticed 3 C5 guys waving at me, twice on the freeway and once in town. I joined this forum at the same time and started reading everywhere about the wave. I thought it was way cool and still wave every chance I get. Some C5 guys turn up their nose at me, some C3 guys are sorta shocked when i wave (do they think C4 guys are snobs???). I wave to everyone in a vette. I respect the vette!

I got my first wave about ten minutes after I got my vette. A C3 passed me by and I got a big wave out of the top. That first wave feels great. Keep waving and maybe I'll see you in the city.

Seems in my neck of the woods (notice I am not judging everyone based on my limited experience :blueangel: ), I really only get waves from fellow C4 owners. Most C5's will atleast look, but good number won't, expecially the Z06 guys. A lot of the ratty C3's won't look while the nice C3's usually wave. The couple C2's I've seen don't bother to look either. I saw one 62 and he wove like he had a rubber arm :lol: !

I think it has a lot to do with the time of day too... During commuting hours, people just want to do their thing and probably don't even notice. When I am out cruising, almost every Vette waves. It is great to exchange waves when other non-Vette owners are with me. They always think it is so cool!

From me to you :seeya

LIke I said above I got 3 waves the first couple days and I told my oldest son about it. He thought I was full of it saying that strangers dont wave at each other just cuz of the car they drive...Well, third day after adopting her hes with me and some C5 guy is almost hanging out the window waving at us and my sons jaw hit the carpet. I wave back at the guy, look to my son and he just says: "yeah, yeah, yeah, OK dad..." Lol, it felt good. And I have had similar incidents with friends riding wiht me too. Usually when I wave they say: "Oh, its someone you know?" and I say: "no...just a fellow vette caretaker."

I got a wave from two MY C5s running side by side going the other way in traffic. I was on my way home from buying my black/black LT4, & only had the car about an hour. One guy even stuck his arm out the window waving. I guess all C5ers aren't snobs. I didn't know I missed the Corvette wave so much. It's good to be part of the club again. :seeya

There are a lot of Corvette's in Titusville, and yet, none of them waved in my first 3 months of ownership - even though I waved at every one. Then, last week, I caught my first wave from the first Grand Sport I've seen in my city...It made my day!
