I always wave, unless I didn't notice in time.

in the 60's the wave was ''cool'' and the typical owner was different than todays typical vette owner. early owners were sports car nuts where todays new vette owners are a few sportscar nuts and many ''look what i can afford'' folks [nuts]. no knock intended for anyone.

I wave at everyone. I'm probably batting 500, but the roads I travel on are fast and twisty - not alot of time to react.

Most of you are probably right maybe he does not know about the wave.

At least you weren't dissed by an old Mustang driver.

Keep waving, though. I wave at any corvette.

I haven't get any wave back from any C6 driver since they were introduced last year. Didn't hurt my feelings. I got more wave from different Motorcycle brand than the vette.

I was at a red light in the right lane and in the right turn lane pulled up a lady and her daughter in a mag red C6, she actually initiated the wave. I was shocked but i did manage to wave back

If you are driving a vette and see me and i dont wave it's only because i didnt notice you in time to get my hand off of the wheel.

Seems like the C6 drivers are snobs in my area (I have a lowly C5). Others from C1-C5 are fine and friendly. Perhaps it is the C6 Euro look that has Porsche and BMW converts driving these cars?
