Some people just don't get into the cars like we do and they could care less about waving to other Corvette owners. Too bad, they really are missing out on keeping a tradition alive. Here's a wave for you and your son - :

Let's not turn this into a generation war and just say this particular guy was not a "Vette guy".

Just because a guy drives a Vette doesn't always mean he's a "Vette Guy"! Save the Wave!

Probably a 1st time Vette owner who has yet to learn one of the most important social amenities of Vette ownership. I have had this happen several times, but the number that do wave far out weighs those that don't. Here's one from me

When I'm driving I am aware of what I'm driving (C5 how can you not be) and everything around me. When I see any vette within my line of sight I wave, sometimes they way back sometimes they don't and it's ok because nothing will stop me from enjoying my ride.

Could have been a lot boy taking the car somewhere or he could have been driving daddy's or mommy's car. Sadly, it doesn't bother me as much as it used to since more and more do not wave I've sort of gotten used to it. I've found that waving is in direct proportion to Corvette model year - the newer the model, the less waving you see.

wave threads shoud be locked immediately. I wave because it's my way of saying hi and because I want to. Not because I need some kind of recognition in return. If they wave back fine, if not, big deal. I'm putting a big dupe on this one for the umpteenth time.
