Corvette Etiquette

Just wondering how many of us in the Corvette family, gives a wave, thumbs up or an approving nod when passing/encountering another Corvette? I always do and always get a reply whether I start it or not.

I get a wave back about 50% of the time. I can understand many times drivers simply don't see me, but I think many are just unaware of the meaning of THE WAVE.

I get a wave back almost every time and most of the time it's simultaneous. Everyone knows about "The Corvette Wave" in these parts.

I always wave. C7 drivers are less likely to wave back. Doesn't bother when people don't respond, and when they do, they almost always wave at about the same time I do.

Don't forget that heavy tint jobs on some Vettes keeps you from seeing waves.

I get about 50% return waves.

Always wave.. Almost always get a reply. What's funny is when I don't, well, see above.

I always wave too, probably get a 50-60% return wave from C5-C6 drivers. I've only got 1 return wave from a C7 in the last year. Two days ago I was out cruising, saw a pristine C1, the driver looked my way, I waved and he put his nose up
