Any more, the wave is a hit or miss - and from all generations. Best you can do is just keep waving.

Yeah I guess they don't get it ...HELL thats one of the fun parts. Should come on the sticker when you buy the car.... "Wave or we come and take it back!"
I got my first Vette in 83 and it seemed you got more waves then.
BUT.... TO ALL THE REAL CORVETTE PEOPLE OUT THERE HERE'S ONE FOR YA!

First time Corvette owners who don't know the history and tradition of the marque. It is our responsibility to educate them. Keep waving and they will either catch on eventually or sell the Corvette and buy the next flashy bauble that catches their eye.

Wish I ever saw a Vette to be able to wave
Not many Vettes over here.
There are Vette owners and Vette enthusiasts. Proper Vette owners always wave.
Here's one from England
