I wave at all Vettes, even ratty ones. Hey, maybe they just bought it and are gettin' ready to restore it! And if a ratty C4 is all you can afford, that's better than 90% of anything else!!

difference in area I guess, but here I get the most waves back from C4 owners, followed by C5 and C3. Almost never get a wave from a C6 (except my dad in his '07), pass 'em all the time. Too new to the Corvette family, I guess.

<--- Loves his C5, and wants another C4!

Are you guys kidding? The wave isn't C5 specific. I bought my first Corvette in 1968 and started waving at all the other Corvette drivers back then. I still wave at the other Corvette drivers. Who do you think started the Corvette wave, it wasn't some C5 driver. As far a I know it was started buy the drivers of the C1's and it is a tradition that I continue. I only get about maybe at best 50% of the drivers to wave back but that's OK. When I rode Harleys, I'd wave at other Harley riders. At least most of them would wave back.

It's not even close to being Corvette specific.
Happens with any sort of unique vehicle. Motorcycles, old Jeeps, boats, ect..... It's just a common bond thing
