Me either, although I did see a douche in a C6 this morning. Weeving in and out of traffic and passing everyone. I was surprised to see him take the same ramp as I did, he could and should have just stayed behind me as the ramp was only a couple tenths of a mile ahead. I was in my STS.

Yeah some people wave others don't. I wave but I'm through caring if they wave back.

I just got my car Friday but had my first wave yesterday. I was driving into work on a 4 lane road with a shared turn lane in the middle. The opposite direction a black C5 was coming towards me in the turn lane. The grey haired lady driving gave me a hand wave haha.

Back in my C1 and C2 days, if you had a vette you felt you were in a special class of drivers. Obviously there weren't as many vettes on the road as there are today. I can't remember approaching another vette and not waving or being waved back. Hopefully this comradery will never die out.

I wave like a wild man (in the vette or not) - my kids thinks I'm losing it (and who am I to disagree). Out of town I get a good response. But I finally had my FIRST return wave here in the Air Capital about two weeks ago. Most drivers seem to be in their own world.

You know who you are.

Wave!
