Whats up with this wave thing. I have always ridden a Harley for 35+yrs and had a Corvette back in the 80's nobody waved then and believe me these were much more rare then. It seems I can't go out without this wave obligation unless I drive my old blazer.
Now there is a Harley on every street and Corvette every other, I don't want to be rude but give me a break.
Maybe it is because where I live there is more of both all year long here in Kalifornia.

Most of the C-6er's are still in a daze, they still haven't recovered from their bad case of wallet shock yet.
I still wave at them anyway, one day they will wake up from their daze and start waving. I got a wave from a C-6 a couple of weeks ago.
In the meantime here is a wave from the guy in the Mag Red '01 coupe.

Got my old beat up C3 out of storage a few weeks ago, and was waiting @ a stop sign when down the road came a victory red C6 coupe...........got a nice big wave and returned the same!
Just depends on the individual............believe a lot of the C6 owners also were C3, C4 or C5 owners, so they know about the wave, or maybe just good old mid-western friendliness showing through.

Just read the C6 General Forum. There are a lot of 'tudes on that forum and that is among themselves. 
I read posts in the C6 GF from time to time and can't understand why they aren't more civil with each other.
I rarely get put off by anyone's posts here but over there it seems like I'm always raising my eyebrows at some of the attitude I get from some writers/owners.
Glad this is my home!

So for those of you I forgot to wave to.... sorry.....

Not all Corvette owners frequent enthusiast web sites, so it doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't know about the wave.
If it wasn't for Corvette Forum, heck, I'd surely not know about it.
However after noticing a few other Vette owners waving, I think I'd pick up on the drill.
I have extended my waving to also giving thumbs up or a nod to other high-performance cars V(ipers, Porches, M3's, etc.). Most of the time, it's returned.

When I was driving my vette(s) in England, I would always wave to any other American car, no matter what year or make the other car was and I always got a wave back.
For the most part though I usually get my wave returned here in LA, it's only the occasional driver that doesn't reciprocate.
