but some people take this wave business a little too seriously. Some might not know about the wave. Give them a break.

I have to tell you *alot* of people wave at Corvettes. We've had Harley riders give us their wave, almost any kid in the back seat of a car or school bus will wave at a Corvette. These cars get a lot of attention and obviously not just from fellow Corvette owners.

I wave when I have time to react or I see 'them' first. I do get waves from women as well as men. Sometimes the women even wave first. I've noticed that the majority of non-wavers are not paying attention or their attention is elsewhere. I also noticed that if I wave outside the car, I get their attention because of the motion and get a wave back.

In WI I'd have to say 80%+ of the time I wave or am waved at by other Vetters.
Of course there're a LOT of pistonheads 'round here, so those into Corvettes & Corvette lore know the ropes better than most.
If I wave & don't get one back?
The, "offender" is always gone before I've time to get miffed.

I was sitting at a red light coming home from work when a silver C6 pulls up next to me. It's a older guy with glasses , no tinted windows and his car was very dirty. The guy very slowly looks my way and turns his head back like a old grump and does not wave.
Anyway when my turn light goes green for my turn i just stick my arm out and wave like a crazy fool for a good 1500 yards.
Talk about a dead guy in a dirty C6!

We should install a custom buzzer or alarm that will let us know when another Vette is approaching, so we can wave

I've had about a 85% W.R. (wave rate) since driving mine. Also, have had one or two who looked directly my way and didn't. Then yesterday, I had three within 10 minutes wave big time. One was silver.

Guess the guy was not a Vette person. I saw a string of C6's this week, and got a wave from most. I only drive one mile to work, so i dont get much of a chance to wave.

I don't acknowledge car types. I am a friendly person, but I also don't feel moved to wave at people with red shirts just because I happen to be wearing one. Call me crazy.
