Re: The Wave (toondaddy)
Waved at a guy w/ a C5 at a Gas station the other day as he was pulling out and I was pulling in....he looked right at me and didn't wave back, didn't even acknowledge my existence. I am not worthy in my little C4. :rolleyes:

Re: The Wave (jimb500)
I've been waving for a long time. I can remember waving to MG TD's when there were a lot of them on the road.
But I don't wave just to get a wave back. I dont' collect waves or no waves. I wave because I want to wave.
Remember - The wave is its own reward! When it stops being fun, stop doing it.

Well, I give up. Here in Dead Moines, it has definitely stopped being fun. I have decided the only time I will wave at another vette driver is when I'm out of town or on the highway, far away from these "local yokels", who simply give you a blank stare when you wave at them.

Keep wavin'... I don't keep score, and wave whenever I see another Vette.
I remember riding shotgun with my father in his '67 coupe and asking "Who was that?" after he received a wave from a fellow enthusiast. his answer was always "I don't know, thats just what Corvette guys do." Never really made a lot of sense until years and years later when I became an owner myself.

Re: The Wave (GoodbyeGirl)
Great. Here we go again with the negitive replies, and the rolling eyes.....Its true here too, C5 people don't usually wave....and the wave does make sense. I wish more people would wave to each other...corvette or not. But, Corvette people have a shared interest that only we can understand. Its kind of deflating to think that "the Wave" might be dying.... :(
