Wave? What Wave?

Took a ride today and waved at a C6 - no wave back. Waved at C3 - no wave back. Waved at another C6 - no wave back. Where's the love? Gave the "bird" to a guy in a Mustang GT who wanted to race and he waved back! I must be doing something wrong.

save the wave

Don't get discouraged, keep waving, I do, I would say 8 out of 10 will not wave but when they do wave ... what a feeling. If we give up we lose we must SAVE THE WAVE.

I wave whenever I see another Vette in time. Some wave back, some don’t. It does not bother me either way.

Even though I still wave at vettes, many do not wave back. I think the wave is becoming a dying breed.

Passed two Vettes on the way to work this morning. Both waved. Sometimes you get them some time not. Doesn't stop me from waving at everyone I see...

If you want to get waved at.....ride a motorcycle. It's too hard to even see drivers in "cagers" with the window tint most have.

Note that the wave is proportional to Vettes that do not have front plates - in States that require them.

I am having the same problem just didnt want to bitch. I just traded my 06 in on an 08 black Z06. In my old car everyone would wave back, now in the last 3 days three out of maybe 50 cars have waved back. I guess everyone feels a Z06 is one longer considered a VETT???

Pass on the word and Save the wave!!!!
