The Corvette Wave...

I love this about the corvette owner. I think this is another reason why I enjoy owning a corvette over everything else. How many mustang owners through waves at one another? What about the F-body brothers? The imports are to busy trying to keep up, but us vette owners...We always throw a wave, find a reason to talk to one another and enjoy our coversation and cars.

Today, a 80s model C4 was behind me and I waved, we waved back and then pulled up next to me to make sure I saw his wave. I love this about our elite group...we share each others love for one another's corvette!

Was on the way to a job interview last week; saw 13 Vettes on the road (12 were C5s), and 8 waved.

The ones that didn't were always on the other side of a parkway and it was mild traffic so I let it slide

8 of 13...that's pretty damn good. And like I said, this wasn't a weekend cruise on backroads. This was a busy parkway on a weekday.

The Wave is alive and well

its very different from the import scene... no more revs and ghetto slow farting imports making a lot of noise and not moving anywhere... its another class of driving...

just like riding waves are a must

Long live the wave! It's always a great feeling to get a wave back from a fellow Corvette driver.

Here's how we wave in Texas

from "Big D"

I was 4 for 4 last night. Waved at a chick drivin a C3. She acknowledged my wave with a slight wave and a head nod. Then out of no where, she stood up and ripped her shirt off!

They wave at each other too! Just the other day I seen two of them waving at each other in an intersection. The only noticeable difference is that they didn't use the whole hand ... just one finger!
