Default Corvette wave gone wrong!!!
Do any of you wave at another fellow corvette driver headed towards you as they pass on by? I do as its nice to see other vettes out there but there is this one person in my town who owns an ls3 c6 and ive maybe run into this guy at least 5 or 6 times and everytime i see him heading towards me i wave HE DOESN'T! So after talking with a buddy of mine about this problem that this fellow vette brother has with the lack of waving i have decided to flip him off the next time i see him! So on one sunny day here he comes........ right as hes ready to go by i shoot him the lovely bird and what does he do?! HE WAVES!!! Dont i just feel like an idiot now! lol

...maybe he doesn't realize your C5 is a Corvette. His C6 might just be his car of the moment and next week he has a Porsche Boxter.

oh snap, I thought the Corvette wave was one finger. Now you tell me! And all this time I thought they were turning around to race me.

Next time a fellow Vette owner doesn't wave, just don't let it get to you. Waving is not everyone's cup of tea and not everyone will wave back. Would be nice though if GM put something in the new car delivery package about the history of the wave.

Are you a BABY? Grow up DUDE-I'm getting to the point where I HATE the wave, between the bike guys waving and the vette people waving-I'm getting SICK of waving.

I've noticed that C6 guys are the worst about not waving. I have yet to pass a C3 or C4 that didn't wave and C5 guys are about 75%.
