Default I got the wave

I went and test drove a c5 the other day. I sold mine about 6 months ago and I am looking at getting another. As I was driving another vette passed me and waved. I forgot about the vette community doing that. Thought it was pretty cool.

Thou shalt be forever "ex-communicated" from our Corvette Discipleship if thee ever forgets "The Wave", and so the prophecy fortells of "Eternal Damnation" for you and your decendants.

I've just figured out the C5 v C6 wave phenomenon: most C5 drivers wave to other Corvettes because they are Corvette Enthusiasts and have previously owned other Corvettes.

Whereas I think that most C6 owners are totally new to Corvette ownership and just don't know about the "Wave Etiquette"

Only 2 C5's in town here. The other guy never drives his. Oh well, I wave to other nice cars anyway.

Thats not right, I just picked up my C5, still have my C4 and most C4 drivers I come across wave.

Bump draft him a couple times, wave as you do it, he might be a slow learner.
