Default The wave

I've had my Vette now for about 3 weeks and have loved evey second of it. I'm also on this CF everyday and I have yet to see this question. I was wondering for the other Vette owners out there in other states if they wave at each other as they drive by. I love this. I never waved at other Camaro drivers when I had my LT1. But all of a sudden I got all these people waving and it took me a second to realize that we're all part of this heritage and prestige that comes along with having this car, so to speak. Any way keep waving its a polite gesture any how. Just wanted to see everyone elses opinions.

I wave every chance I get. Sometimes even when I am driving my Suburban.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new Vette The wave is an absolute tradition among all Vette owners and is alive and well. You will see a few that aren't aware of the tradition, and there will be many who just don't see your wave because of other things going on in or around them. Here's one from Indy And post pics of your car

Welcome to the forum. As they say, ever since Corvette #1 met Corvette #2 on the road the wave has been a tradition among owners. It's just a way of showing the common bond that Corvette owners share.

I bought C5 plates for my work truck just so I'd have an excuse to wave when I'm not in the Vette.

It's a great tradition and doesn't take that much effort. : But you'll get passed by some who are either unaware, asleep, or too snobbish to bother.
