I have tried to be a faithful "waver" from the beginning....but mostly get blank stares back from other owners...if I even get seen at all. I was beginning to have doubts... Yesterday I was driving downtown at around noon, and was in the process of turning left across several lanes of lunch hour traffic... when I get this blaring horn from behind. Thinking it was some kind of road rage I turned my head back just as as a brite red C5 blew by me on the right..all smiles and waving big. My wife cracked up at my reaction, as it was too quick to repond to. My hand went up and spastically banged into my closed window. Receiving a wave felt good. Instantly erased my doubts. Thanks to whoever that was.... : yesnod:

 

some will some won't. That is how it works.

 

I always wave if possible. Even if they don't wave back, I try to show respect by making the gesture.

 

I wave ALL the time at Vette owners but it seems that the C5 owners are the one's 99% of the time that don't wave back. Do they think they are special or just do they not understand its a Vette thing?

 

I've had good luck with waves, from any generation.

It makes my day.

 

 

Sometimes I wave to myself in the mirror just to FEEL GOOD.

 

I feel your pain! I own a C-5 and sometimes I am ignored by other C-5 drivers. I have also been ignored by C-3 and C-4 drivers on occassion, as well.

Once, I was at a local car hangout on a Saturday night, talking to a fellow with a highly modified Z06. I was looking at his engine and asking how he did this or did that, and he was completely feeding me a line of bull, and hesitating with his answers. It was pretty apparant that he just drove the thing and didn't do any of the upgrades or maintenance. And he didn't have a clue as to what was actually under his hood or how things worked. I took him to be someone who has the money, but that was about all. Seems to be that way with some of the C-5 crowd.
Their pocket books are bigger so they simply buy what they deem to be "the best" without any knowledge or respect of the Corvette's long history.

Overall, I would say the majority of C-5 owners I have meet are decent folks, who easily mingle with fellow C-3 and C-4 enthusiast, but I will also admit that I have meet a few rotten apples as well.

Being successful in life, and driving America's sports car, doesn't always mean your a decent person. And it shows sometimes.

Just my opinion.

Regardless of what year of Corvette you all drive, come by my town and I will gladly give you a wave!!!
