Keep the Wave up! Sometimes people are just not paying attention to oncoming cars (being safe). They are all amazing cars. Also, sometimes people have joined the Corvette ranks and just don't know all of the body styles yet.

Hopefully you will continue to wave. People sometimes have a reason for not waving, but if they see enough people doing it, perhaps they will catch on to the tradition.

Once in awhile I miss the opportunity to wave because I am changing radio stations, hvac or whatever else...so I understand when someone doesn't wave back, although sometimes it looks like are are looking right at me and still don't wave back

Definitely keep it up. I always try to wave when I see another Corvette. I'd say at least half wave back. It's a great tradition. We must fight to keep it alive. I see you are in VA. If I see you, I'll wave back.

We probably average about 70-80% returning the wave around here and this is from C1-C8.

Almost every generation Corvette I wave to does return the wave back except for most of the C8's that I wave to. I think it is because many C8 buyers are first time Corvette buyers and are unaware of the tradition. It can't be because their right hand is busy shifting the transmission.
