No more waves from me!
That's it I've had it ... I've waved soo many times, at soo many people in vettes, and haven't had ONE wave back. I'm talking like highway travel, around town, other towns ... what gives!? 
... ok I feel better.

Don't know "whats up" with FL, but here in MO I get on average 3 out of 4
waves returned. About half the time, the other guy waves first (and
yes, I wave back)!!

No problem up here in the panhandle. I get waves back from Vettes when I wave while driving the Silverado.

I'm from Springfield, too. I'm picking up my first Vette on Saturday in Dallas.
I promise to wave.

But the majority of the time I drive with at least the windows down. Maybe I should install a thirty foot sign on top of my car ...
how do you think this will effect my aerodynamics?

I posted this in another topic about the same thing. I think its mostly new owners and a younger crowd who are buying them now and probley have no clue about the wave or just don't care. Only wave back to the people who wave to you.

It's like doing a favor and EXPECTING a favor in return. Just wave because you're proud and happy, don't do it because you think people are just as proud and happy. Besides, they're not CF members! So who cares? We're the only ones that matter! From sunny, So. Cali! You happy now?! I'm 
from 3000 miles away!

Have been waving to other vetters for over thirty years and I would guess I get a 90% return here in New England. I seem to have the hardest time with C5's. They don't understand the code of ethics.
