Default LS1 wave?

We all know about the "wave".

But lately, I've been getting the "wave" from Camaro guys?

So has it evolved into an LS1 wave not the Corvette wave???

Could be,,but could be a few things.Might be a vet owner in his "other" car,,could be the LS thing, might just like performance cars(a car guy) maybe wants to get a vet and is just practicing!! I gave a to a new Camaro as I passed him the other day. I give a wave or thumbs up to lots of cars regardless of what I'm driving!!

Yesterday I saw a guy in a white Camaro with the C5 cross-flag emblem on his drivers side rear pillar . I at least hope he had one on the passenger side also .

If someone in a Yugo waves to me, it is only common courtesy to wave back.
I'll wave at anyone because I'm just so happy that God blessed me with such a fun car.

It will always be the Corvette wave IMO. If the Camaro owners want to copy it, OK by me.

My wife used to own a '72 VW Beetle. Instead of the wave, their owners would flash the 'peace sign' to one another.
I always thought that was very fitting.

That's what I was thinking. A few times while working, I've waved to other Vettes from my patrol car...they always slow down almost coming to a stop...like they did something wrong. I stopped a guy in a C3 last night doing 65 in a 45...we talked about his car. No ticket, just told him to check out the forum.
