It's ok to vent from time to time even if it is about the same stuff.
You would think if it is such a dead horse they would just click to the next thread but they read on anyway and always spend the time to right some passage about a dead horse. Thats something that makes you go HMMMMMM!!!

..."regardless of the generation (OR THE TOPIC)"... it is really more personal with you, Randy... I am feeling like a wise guy today

As much as we like our cars, and the waves that have been shared over the years, we have to come to the realization that it's not always going to happen

Let's look at some reasons why some don't wave:

1) the non-waver may have something on his/her mind and didn't notice your wave or vette.
2) he/she may have been looking to the right when you were waving on the left.
3) the driver/owner doesn't know about the "wave."
4) the driver's reactions are slow and he/she was just too late getting to the wave. Remember, according to some, only middle aged and older men having their midlife crisis own vettes
5) and the dreaded, it's a car and I don't want to freakin wave back.

Although these are just some examples, we have to accept that it's not always going to happen, and we cannot take it personal.
