8 vettes and 8 waves in one day
Last week my wife and I took the C6 from Los Banos, CA (Central Valley) to Minden, Nevada. We received 8 mutual waves from 8 vettes along the way 
The first was from an identical C6 twin on I-5, as well as 2 other C6's, 4 C5's (mostly along Hwy 88), and one beautiful blue '64 in Jackson 
The camaradie really heightened the enjoyment of the drive--as if it could get any better along the beautiful winding mountainous roads toward Lake Tahoe 
It made me feel privileged to be a part of the vette community.
About two weeks ago, we enjoyed a long beautiful trip from Los Banos, CA to Minden, Nevada to Las Vegas and back to Los Banos. Although we waved at many vettes during that trip, only two didn't return the wave: an LMB C6 and a silver C5 Z06. But that won't stop me from waving
Incidentally, the C6--even with the Z51--was hands down the most comfortable car I ever rode in long distance. We never got fatigued. Freeway mileage was an amazing 30+.

Driving into work this morning on Central Expressway. For those of you unfamiliar with Dallas it's US-75, always busy, always a parking lot, and always under construction.
I see the telltale four round brakelights from a distance of a black C6 similar to mine. I think my car had a dog-like "need to speed up and sniff the tailpipe moment" which I'm sure we all do. I then drive up along side and notice a rather attractive blonde driving the car.
I smile and wave but unfortunately I think she was too busy yapping on the cellphone to notice. Oh well at least I tried, and before anyone asks no I do not have pics of said blonde.

I got snubbed twice in a row this morning, within 10 seconds of each other! 
I'm driving in slow traffic and first I see a pewter C5 vert pull past me on the left, and I look over and the driver doesn't look over at all, despite the fact that I had my hand out the window already waving to him. Then right behind him was a red C5 Z06, and the exact same thing happened, he didn't even look over at all! That just ticks me off, there is no way they could be so out of it that they didn't spot me. How hard is it to wave to someone, seriously! I wave at every single Vette I see, no matter what, even if I know they probably can't see me (such as if I'm on the highway and they are way on the other side)
It's been very bad this year, my return wave ratio is probably under 20%. The wave is dying.

Took my girl out for a ride last weekend, Maryland to Delaware and back. Stopped at a Prime Outlet shopping plaza. A couple walking along the sidewalk as we were getting out of the vette waved to us. Thought it was kind of strange til we spotted them later getting into a silver c6 like mine.
