Unfortunately, not everyone who drives a Corvette is a Corvette enthusiast, so you will pass many without getting a wave. I wave at all years - rarely get a reply from the C6 crowd. Bought my first 'vette, a black '99 coupe, in January. Took about three weeks before I finally got a return wave. Was quite the occasion!

So if you dont wave you are not a Corvette enthusiast? Pure BS!
Since when has it become that in order for you to be a Corvette enthusiast or any type of vehicle enthusiast you have to wave?
So a person could get a Corvette Tattooed on their forehead, design and build a house that looks like a Corvette, wear so much Corvette clothes it looked like a Corvette threw up on them and attend every Corvette show but not give the stupid wave and not be considered a Corvette enthusiast?
You live in a strange world!

Unless yer windows are dark tint you can just wave with them up and I'm sure the other person will see you. I usually just give a raise of the hand as I am holding the steering wheel and that's what most other Vettes I see do. My wife however waves likes she's flagging down a rescue helicopter!

You've probably already heard this one, but what's the difference between a humorless porcupine and a wave-less Corvette?
With the porcupine, the ****** are on the outside.
