Default Where's the wave???

Ok, so I drive from FT Knox KY to FT Jackson SC in my 93 Vette. I see a Vette and wave and get nothing. I get more in to South Carolina and see more Vettes and no waves. These people look at me like I've lost my mind. This worries me as I'm moving to SC in July. Oh by the way I traded my 93 on an 01.

Don't take it personally. Lots of folks just don't wave.

I do.

I always think its the difference between a Vette Owner and a Vette Enthusiast.

I get quite a few waves here but Vettes are few and far between in my neck of the woods.

I always wave whenever I can, but sometimes I don't realize soon enough and can't roll the window down quickly enough to stick out my wave or a thumbs up =/. One time I poppep up my headlights at another c5 owner and he returned in kind.

I was driving by a storefront yesterday, saw my reflection in the glass, and waved to myself.
