I wave but, sometimes they don't always wave back. Maybe they just don't see you. For the most part around here people wave.

One of the best things about owning a corvette is sharing the enthusiasm with others. Enjoy your car and save the wave.

The wave is a great thing. All vette drivers are a special breed.

Here in Baton Rouge I probably get about a 20% wave-back rate .


However day 1 driving the car home from the dealership I bought it from yielded me a wave from a super clean looking c3, I was impressed. I waved back, don't worry!

One of the nice things about joining the Corvette clan is the "the wave". I'm used to it from my motorbiking time, but not from a car model group. Keep the wave alive!

My Vette is approx. 200 miles away while I deal with the passing of my father but I was out walking my German Shepherd today in south Everette, WA when I spotted an AOM Vert w/blk top and gave them a big thumbs up as they passed while wearing my AOM Vette ball cap. They did wave back. Made me home sick.
