GM clearly recommends the wave as part of the car's standard operating procedure. If you incapable of performing the wave, you're obviously not able to operate the vehicle in a manner as prescribed by the manufacturer!

I wave at all Vettes I see- even when I'm in my F-350 Dually. So if you're ever in the Atlanta area and some goof in a big black truck waves at you- that'd be me!

Depends where you are. Some give the wave and some give the finger.

I got my first wave during my 16th birthday drive in a red 1980 Vette. Had to wait several years to get my own little red corvette, but I love the wave every time. Makes me feel like a little kid sharing the excitement of owning this toy.

Kind of reached the point of being on the return the wave if you get one, as I got sick of waving with nothing in return.

Congrats - and get used to it!

I love the wave.

I get and give the Corvette wave when in the Vette.

I get and give the Jeep wave when in the Wrangler.

I get and give the motorcycle wave when on my Harley.

I feel lost when I am in my Trailblazer - I can't wave at anybody!
