Hmm...you seem upset that folks in other Vettes don't wave. I would be too. But, the solution isn't doing exactly what you're upset about. The solution is continuing to wave and hopefully reviving the enthusiasm.

Don't give up yet. There are plenty of people out there that will return your wave. You must be running into the wrong owners at this time.

They aren't here! (I'm sure it's against the CF rules, in the fine print somewhere

A group of us from the DFW area and some from Wichita Falls went on a cruise last Sunday and we got waves from people beside the road and even bikers. The wave is alive and well.

Multiple Waves
First good top down weather in Northern Virginia on Saturday and got a good dozen waves from my fellow C5ers. I foolishly attempted to wave at a couple of C6ers and was duely ignored

I find the wave returned about 75% of the time. No problem, it still makes Vette ownership all that more interesting. In fact, I started a wave thing with other Mini Coopers in the area (when I am driving mine), at first I got a lot of strange looks, but now it is about 60% return!

Other than that, no rules.

I always wave, most the time I don't even see if it's returned, but they get it anyway. I'll tell you what, nobody waves like the bikers, after a day of riding I'm almost tired of waving. There are alot more bikes on the road then vette's.
