Waving while driving a vert...
There's been a few posts on here about waving. For the other vert owners, if the top is down and you see another vette, do you wave your arm over the windshield instead of the "raise a couple of fingers" salute.
I have found myself waving by sticking my arm way over my head when the top is down. I'm sure I've got to look like an idiot. I guess I just want to make sure they see me waving and not think I'm a snob. (even though half of the time, they don't wave back)

I agree, a wave is a wave but with my arm sticking above my head, I feel like a giraffe doing ballet or something. Just feel outta place.

With the top down I wave the same way. At red lights or when it fits I'll keep my arm up and the wave active till I get a wave back. As a result there are times when I get the feeling the other Vette driver just figured it out.

As long as you wave, that is what counts. I usually wave out the side window, regardless of whether I have my top on or off. But either way, I'm sure you will get noticed.

Whenever I wave.......
Most of the time folks wave back in the other "Vette. I was driving a couple of Saturdays ago and I got a very friendly wave from another driver in a Silver ' Vette...my wife started laughing and thought it was great!
