Many do... many don't. My guess is a lot of the folks leaving were 'waved out'. That event is almost vette overload.

I find a lot more people wave when they are driving for fun and/or recreation instead of to work, the store, etc. More of an entheusists thing as well.

I agree with TripleBlack. I think at a show there are just too many to wave. You'd be waving non-stop

My impression has always been that we wave no matter who's driving what! Heck, I get waved at driving the Taurus or the Truck... at least once I leave the city.

Usually I get and give waves all over the DFW metroplex.

It may have been the overload factor mentioned above for the day.

We're pretty wave friendly 'round these parts...

We all wave. Sometimes when I think someone did not wave, I see them in my side view mirror after I have passed and they are waving. So, without that side view mirror check...I would have missed them, and thought they were "no wavers".
I kind of got burned out on waving from my 2 wheeled days, but there are less Vette's on the road than 2 wheeled machines, so I kind of like it now.It is much easier in a Vert, well many things are easier...

Get your Wave on!

Correction.... Local DFW vette driver here and I make sure to ALWAYS wave. Even on the day of the event I waved before AND after pulling into /out of the parking lot!

Barely had enough energy to wave on Sunday after the track event, but still managed to get my thumb out the window to my fellow vette drivers!

In case ya missed my spiral gray with BAMF AE on the plates.... here's one for ya from DALLAS/FT. WORTH!!!
