Please don't ban me! I got kicked out of the Boy Scouts for being the only one who knew that gasoline was great for starting a camp fire. I only used a little bit; not like the whole gallon...

I couldn't take any more rejection

Default keep it super cool

I like the minimalist wave - index finger half raised off the steering wheel - and eye contact of course. Anything more is way too uncool

Now you know what the wave is. Mutual respect and sharing a passion! And I agree with whoever said it, don't get all wee weed up if someone misses you. They are probably texting

This has been all tongue-in-cheek, but owning the Corvette with the camaraderie that goes with it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life.

The funny thing is I have a 85 Ford Tempo, the deluxe model, for my beater car so I do not have to park the Vettes at the movies, supermarkets, drive in the snow or rain,etc. The few times I actually see a 85 Ford Tempo I wave like a crazy man but I am sure they do not have a cue because I do not get a wave back.

I guess it shows that certain cars bring out the 'car guy' in some people, but if you ARE a 'car guy', you already understand the uniqueness of your car and think to express camaraderie. I thought that when I had my beetle and VW bus, but many others had no clue. Keep on wavin!

If you leave your fog light switch on they will flash when you pull the high beam lever. I flash instead of waving, most of the time you can,t see the wave.

navyvetteran --- Thanks for the knowledge. I did not know that especially since I just got my 2001 and though I read the manual I must have miss that. My 2002 Z06 does not have the fog lamps.
