Default Where is the wave???

Drove south for 100 miles and then back home I probably saw 15 Corvettes and the only three that waved where all travelling together in a group. One I passed on a two lane interstate, side by side, I slowed to his speed to wave, nose up no acknowledgement at all . Almost all were C5's but the one I was beside was a C6 WTF isn't there a manual out there for this. Even I had a guy in a Mustang GT pull up behind me and after a small burst of speed I moved over and he gave a huge and yelled out beautiful car. Are some too arrogant or do they just not know?

I just moved to Tucson, Arizona and noticed an immediate decrease in the number of return waves during my first couple weeks. That said, I got returns from both Vettes that I saw today, so that's a good sign.

I wave to all Vettes that I see. Some respond, some don't. Don't let it get under your skin.

Here's a wave from Austin Texas for ya!

I was driving down the freeway and got side by side with a brand new red C6 and was about to wave when I realized he was busy on the phone. I certainly didn't expect for him to wave but then out of no where he waved with the hand he was holding the cell phone with while keeping the other hand on the steering wheel. (and kept his phone conversation going at the same time) Now that's dedication to the wave

The wave is alive and well in Stafford VA. Would like to think maybe some of them are noobies and have not learned yet! don't let it get you down, save the wave.

Very few wave here and there are a lot of vettes in South Florida. I wave if someone waves to me. I really could care less, sure is not going to ruin my day if no one waves. I am just happy to drive my car.

I think its comical that you took enough personal offense that someone didnt wave to you to post it up on an internet discussion forum. That goes for any of the 218763726378263726 OMG they didnt wave posts

I wave, but if they don't, oh well. Wish a little discussion of the history of the wave was part of the delivery process for Vettes, but unfortunately it's not.
