Strange wave
It was a beautiful day here so we decided to take the Vette on an afternoon run to the park. Were crusing down the two lane highway and a new Mustang is approaching from the other direction. As we are passing each other he gives me a wave! I didn't know the quy so I'm guessing he was wishing he was driving a Corvette instead of the Mustang.

That was nice of him. I hope you waved back.

Maybe a sign of respect or just being a good neighbor. My wife and I were cruising in the C5 last week and I happened to pass an older Viper. We gave each other a respectable wave and nod.

We passed a bunch of vettes today on our drive from Newark to Baltimore area. Sadly we were in my DD but I still waved to all of them. I've no doubt more than one was creeped out

The guy could have been a Vette owner too. I occasionally wave to Vettes when I'm not in mine.

Are you sure it was not just his middle finger?

He might also own a Vette and waved to be friendly. I occasionally wave to Vettes when I'm in my TrailBlazer.

Thank you. I'm glad someone said that. I'm so sick of the belief that it's a "Corvette Thing" cause it's not. It's a car thing.

Could just be one car guy to another - You don't have to have a Vette to wave to one.

I give and receive waves from all sorts of vehicles when we are in the `56 Chevy. I see it as a sign of recognition between car guys.

I would much rather have a wave from a Mustang, Camero, etc. instead of having my car keyed by a idiot, or even like the other day a young punk driving his PIS Camero pretended to drive into my car and continued to act like he wanted to run into the back of my car.......A Real Tool!!!!!!

Shouldn't be so quick to assume a Mustang driver is envious - below is a pic of my C5 with my former dd in the background.
