Thumbs Up
Every time there is a "Save the Wave" post, I add the same comment. I got waves all the time in my C5, but since getting my C6 on Oct 28th they are few and far between. Honestly I think I have had two waves and I live in a large city full or Corvettes. Well this morning this guy races to catch up with me and hits the brakes all to give me a big thumbs up 
. Was it a Corvette guy/girl, no sir, it was a GTO. Then he sped off. While it felt good to have someone recognize the car, it took a GTO to finally get a good wave/thumbs up. I normally would not start a save the wave thread, but I will keep waving, even if I never get a wave back. 
Have a good weekend! Get out and enjoy your wonderful cars, and wave at every other Corvette you see!

A few months ago, my wife and I were on the highway & a guy in a late model Maxima was "pacing me", hanging just off the right rear quarter panel (3 lanes w/me in the middle). When he finally passed, he rolled his left hand (hanging out the window) up into a "thumbs up". I thought that was pretty cool & gave him a smile and a .

I think a lack of waves is because some of the "not so knowledgeable" Vette owners still have a problem identifying the C6 head on. I've had a few C5 drivers stare right through me... I still wave first and I'm up to the usual percent of wave backs after three months.
