Default Rant: Wave!!!!

ok... so i've been an owner for over a month now... since i've only been waved to 3x's out of 12. The 3x's by the same guy and we happen to work at the same location.... WTH is everyone's problem ... I wave... you wave.. it makes sense... I'm tempted to run out to a rural area where everyone waves.... sorry had to blow off some steam..

Besides I didn't see a new wave post today..

I just got one at lunch on the way back to work. I think sometimes it's just a matter of people being to distracted to notice. Chin up and keep waving!!

On the way home last night, I passed 5 Vettes and waved to all with no response.

I was deeply hurt and tromatized by the whole thing.

Oh well. I'm over it now. Time to

I THINK I passed a Vette going the other way on a 2 lane country road last Sunday, but I was looking the other way until he was going by me. The road was curvy and dippy enough that I couldn't see him coming from a distance and had no warning. Passed a white C4 last night, and he did wave, but I was watching traffic in front of me and didn't see him until he was going by. I did throw up a quick wave back, and hope he saw it in time. Just after that I did see a red C6 Z06 coming the other way, and did wave, but couldn't see if he waved back.

I always wave and/or return waves, IF I see the other guy. Don't know where you are located, but, if I was one of the 9 who didn't return your wave, I apologize, it wasn't that I didn't want to.

I always wave and don't worry about not getting a response. It's their problem, not mine.

I always wave at other Vettes, even while in my DD ('96 Saturn stealth sedan - LOL). It's more fun to wave from my DD to see their puzzled reactions!

Just keep waving - if they respond, great. If not, not going to ruin the day.
