No matter what you do, some people will never wave - just the way it is. Just keep on doing your part - if they don't, then it's their loss.

Default Wave??

Virtually no one waves anymore, Most dont have pipes that make babys cry and old men run for cover either. That is only a myth that is kept alive on this forum. Get over it.

I think that first incorrect assumption is that every Vette owner is an enthusiast, fully educated in its lore and history.

Simply not true. We, especially here on this forum are the minority, and most people own the cars especially C5/C6's merely as means of transportation.

I usually go with this rule...and here in Florida we see Corvettes 24-7/365...if the car is modified, I usually wave, if the car is stock...probably not.

The death of the wave goes hand-in-hand with the deteriation of our society. Our society has evolved to become less and less about respect for others and more about only watching out for yourself.

I'm guessing you failed (at life) to read this thread and those that responded in it...instead, you spoiled 3 seconds worth of worthless thought and typed useless, meaningless and worthless text that has been proven against since before you typed it.
