Yeah it happens all over. But I've noticed something at least around here.
Now this isn't always true but I've found it to be a good barometer.
The folks that wave mores times than not, their vettes look great! Clean
and shiney! The ones that don't, their vettes usually look a little dull, need
washing and most likely waxing. These folks probably like their vettes but
aren't afflicted with the infatuation we on this forum seem to share. And
if thats the case, then its an ailment I can certainly live with!!

If they wave back
if not don't let it bother you. The next one that comes along will probably wave at you before you have a chance to. That makes it all better.

Also - with so many Vettes on the road today, not all of the Vettes are being driven by enthusiasts, a lot are being driven by drivers. It sounds like the one you encountered was a "driver".
Just shrug your shoulders and say - "Oh well, his/her loss!"

Probably right.
I'm a stickler about clean......in the past my wife has asked "can I take the vette" and my answer has been "nope....it's dirty"....
To this day she still doesn't get why I won't let our vette(s) go out "unclean".....

Maybe the guys wife has been nagging him all day. Maybe he just got fired, maybe he just found out he had some sort of terminal disease. My point is that you don't know what kind of day someone had. Everyonce in awhile I don't wave if I'm in a cranky mood, or driving in excess of 100 and need to keep my hands on the wheel.

what are you crying about?
Those that wave are part of the club and that is how you know it. If they do not know the secrete hand shake they are out.
They most likely do not attend car shows or anything regarding the "hobby lifestyle" of owning a vette.

That was a funny title.
However, don't feel too bad and just keep doing your thing. Just the other day I was at a stop light next to a convertible C5 and what do you know, the guy doesn't even acknowledge me in my C/E C5. As a matter of fact just this past Friday I see this black C5 creeping up on my passangers side mirror, he jumps over to the left (going on a one way) and as he pulls up next to me, I face him getting ready for the C5 salute and what does he do! the guy plunges down on the accelerator and leaves me there waving at the air. Now that was unbelievably funny I thought. My point is: don't let the non-wavers get the best of you. Keep the wave going. You lose some, win some.

BTW I drove to Dayton and back last week and got waves from 2 Mag reds and 2 Yellow C-5's in Md and OH, they were the only ones I saw. That was 100% participation!: cool:

I stopped at a red light right next to a black with chrome wheels just like mine and the guy never looked over or anything! I thought that was weird!
