Every C6er I've seen in the northwest suburbs of Chicago has been a Woman. No waves back. I also have noticed that C5 women drivers don't wave either.

I don't think the wave back percentage has anything to do with generation. It is just an individual thing. I always wave. If I don't, it's because I didn't see ya.

Not to get flamed here, but I usually wave at other sports car owners, Stangs, T/A's, Supra's, Vr4's, Stealth's, Camaro's, old school muscle, anything that looks like the owner loves it and takes pride in it. Because that's what it's all about. Like Barry Meguair says, "Car Crazy"

(We just can't help it that OUR sports car is better than everyone else's )

Just a newbie thing I think one time or another we have all been there. Just grin and bear with em, cause in a few days there will be another one just like this one

I find very, very few Vette people return my wave around Katy, Texas. I have decided to stop the wave, instead of having them look at you like your some kind of nut. Screw'em!
