Maybe they didn't see you?? I just got my c5 last week and I have been a waving fool and so far have been waved back at every time. It is just cool, kind of feels like a bond to someone you don't even know.

i thought that too but whats the odds of 25 drivers not seeing you..they are only a few feet from you in the next lane of traffic or even on the same side of the street as you..im not bragging but with my car all clean,and my 20" wheels gleaming,they must have been blind...good luck with your car and save the wave...

most of Z06 owners around here dont waive but everyone else 80 % of the time do
Z06 owners (not all) think they have something better than A CORVETTE, now something needs to b done about that

I always wave when it's safe to do. Sometimes I fell bad when the other driver wave at me and not wave back cause am too busy looking both ways of the traffic.

I mostly have good responses to waves, get thumbs ups and waves from other cars, usually BMW??? If I notice in time I wave back to everbody. However, the not waving is probably a sign of our times and the "it's all about me" mentality.

If you were at a car show, those people might have been all waved out. When I was at Carlise, I felt like I need to drive down the street with my arm hanging out of the car. Not trying to make excuses but don't give up on the wave quite yet.

I realized that the younger drivers don't wave. Maybe they just don't know. Not everyone is on corvetteforum. I always wave. And I figure, if they don't wave back it's either they didn't see me or it was too late for me to see when they did. I mean, our cars ARE pretty fast.

I wave.
We are a band of brothers and sisters. 
Moreover, the corvette is not just a car. It's a way of life and a unique culture. Don't ever forget to wave

When I had my 6speed miata for 4 years I got like maybe 5 wavebacks total, and everyone on the miata.net forum talked about how close nit all the owners were. I was kinda like
