The older Vettes are the reason I own a C5 Z06 Vette

Relax, dude. All I meant is that there are many people driving Corvettes, who yes, believe it or not, could care less about the whole Corvette thing - so don't expect a wave from all of 'em.

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!

I agree with Pete.... there are some people that drive the car because they think it makes them look cool or they can just afford it or they think it hides their bald spot and there are people that love the car.... Just deal with us that drive it because we love it... we'll wave.
