Here's one from Ohio



I get more waves in our '64 than the '01 but it's probably 70% overall.

Our plate on the '01 is I WAVE

I get plenty of waves but if theres a woman driving I think they have no clue. Even had a 360 Modena spider chase me down just to give a thumbs up.

Everybody waves around here. Kids on bikes, people walking, people in Vettes, people in normal cars. Sometimes I get tired of waving, but if someone waves at me, I wave back. I had a guy follow me into a restaurant just to tell me how much he likes my car.

That pretty much sums me up. I look up the road and rarely pay attention to anything to my sides.

You think Orlando is tough?? Cmon on down here to good ole Boca Raton! You come on down to tropical New York, and see how many waves you get!

I get so infuriated when I wave, and don't get them in return

I noticed that when I first moved here from Indiana. The midwest is wave friendly, down here it is snob friendly. Too Badd!

Just think, there is more Corvettes registered in FL than anywhere else. It is too bad High amount of Corvettes don't equal High amount of waves.

I always hold the door open for people, down here most of the time you dont even get a thank you.

I really would like to move outta here
