I like to wave here in Dallas Texas and I usually get a wave back and vise versa. Puts a smile on my face. But hey if you want to be a snob and think you are better than everyone else or just flat out unsociable or don't care about waving, think its dumb idea or have tunnel vision and don't notice or care to notice other Corvettes(very common with most drivers) go about your snotty (my opinion, not applicable with tunnel vison drivers) ways and just keep on driving. There are lots of personalities(cultures in this world and in different parts of our country). Be yourself..

I bought the bike because I liked it, not for the acknowledgement of other Harley riders, same with the Vette, I just liked the car, didn't know about the wave when I bought it. BTW, if another Vette waves, (or Mustang, or Mazda, or whatever), I wave back, I just don't initiate the "Corvette" wave. I wouldn't get my feelings hurt, like some of the other forum members seem to, because a lot of Corvette owners don't even know about the wave.
So, why are you still bitching about it?
