I wave at all Vettes. If you wave at me and I don't wave back I appologize as I didn't see you.

Recently, a C6 pulled up behind me and followed for several miles. As I signaled a right turn, he gave me a European light flash...C6 version of a wave. Nice touch. One benefit of fixed headlights.

That's what the C4 folks say about the C5 folks and so forth.

I always wave. I use the ultra cool 2 finger peace sign. Sometimes since I have dark tint I move my fingers closer to the windshield so the passing corvette can easily see my wave. If my windows are down I also use the 2 finger peace sign while I am reclined in my seat.

One thing I love about the corvette is the reclined seat look even. Ultra cool

I find the C6 dont wave because they arent vette guys, they just bought a vette. THe 2nd owner will wave though :-P He'll be a vette guy.

I also find that some C1/C2 guys dont wave because their poop dont stink. THey are classics, we aren't.

I say f' them. Its just polite, and fun.

My 11 year old gets a huge kick outa it.

I keep seeing this nice C6 vert in my neck of the woods. I waved today but I couldn't tell if they even noticed....those darn vettes sit too damn low to the ground and I can't see through the window tint when I'm in my truck!!
I guess I will have to wave at Tacomas now too!

If you wave at someone heading towards you and they are in a turn lane and make a U turn and pass you a little ways up the road, do you wave again (even if it is less then 5 minutes between waves for the same car/driver)?

I get the same thing. Maybe it's a California thing.

It sure does tick me off to wave at a fellow Vette owner and have them just stare at me. Today, I pulled into Subway and there was a red and a white C5 sitting there. I was in my black C5. I waved at the owner of the red one (the other was empty), and he just looked at me like I was from another planet. Oh well, later on a blonde in a C6 waved at me so I guess it all balances out.
