Default WAVES = 3 for 3

It was 88 in Memphis today, so out for a drive I went. I saw severald HUNDRED motorcycles, but only three Vettes.

Good news is that all three waved, so it was a GREAT day.

It was in the mid 80's here, and I saw at least 5 drive by my house while I was in the yard. I waved at all, and got 4 horn honks (of course, my '99 was sitting in the driveway). Took it to dinner and got a few more waves.
I can't imagine why you didn't see more out.

Here's a wave for 'ya...

Sometimes I'll notice f-bodies looking my way, I feel compelled to wave at them.

The temp hit a record high for April 10th at 90° here in KY. I took my C5 out for a little cruise and got a couple waves returned. It was nice.
Cheers to you from KY

There were a few out saturday but they had the Corvette Cup. Went to dinner and a C6 waved. So don't believe C6 owners don't wave, they do.

I've been running across quite a few women drivers... Someone needs to explain the wave to them

On a somewhat humorous note; my fiance asked me why I wasn't waving the other day.... While we were in the Audi

She gets points for the thought.

I ignored some Vette and motorcycle waves this weekend (had both out)-does that count?

Maybe the Vette crowd need a "Water Buffalo" type wave (remember Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble)?

We had a little less than 150 with us on our drive on Saturday (see Northern California Forum posts on the Rainbow Run for pics). Whenever a vette was coming from the other direction, the driver just hung their hand out the window as we all passed.
