Where's the wave????
I'm from Hershey,PA. I was out Saturday...beautiful day. Passed 8 vettes, only one waved back. There were 5 of them bumper to bumper on a 2 lane (322), I had my arm out the window, not one waved back. I look forward to this bond when I'm out. Just venting...disappointed.

either they didn't see you or maybe they just didn't see you?
don't sweat it, I was out on saturday and I saw 3 other C5's,
I waved and I don't know if they waved back (didn't really see any wave), but it doesn't matter, maybe they didn't see me until it was too late, or maybe they waved and I didn't see it.
who cares!
I know I waved.

I'll tell ya, if you want waves you should ride a motorcycle - anykind it does not matter. Just got back from a 1000 mile road trip to eastern Ohio with some friends - Dayum almost everybody was waving.
