Wave always to vettes and verts. They usually wave back when the top is down and I'm waving above the windshield

I always wave. C4 and C7 drivers are the ones that typically never wave back.

Always do now. The first time I got a wave was from a neighbor in his C7 and I was preoccupied with the radio... missed that one and felt bad, LOL.

Always wave. I find the newer ones seldom wave back. Some do though. When they don't it's pretty obvious why. Usually look like hoity-toity snobs who probably wouldn't say thank you for holding the door open for them. They usually get the one finger salute if they happen to look into their rearview.

Then there's the majority of the Vette folks.

I always wave and most of the time get a wave back. I enjoy the corvette camaraderie; I use to be a Mustang guy and the wave was nonexistent among Mustang owners.

got two waves today , one of them in a C4 was cool

I was parked , facing north, and he came flying by from the south, he gave me a "beep + wave" as he passed by

Second guy was in a C3, I waved him, u can tell he wasn't interested but threw a wave back anyways

I wave anytime I see another Vette

About 50/50 for me. No big deal either way as I just keep on truckin' if I don't get a wave back.

I wave if I see a Corvette. Sometimes I don't wave for various reasons. Shifting, turning, just not paying attention.

Same here. Not many C7's wave back. I think they are too overwhelmed by all that crap on their electronic dash and center controls panel.
