Default First Corvette wave!

I've owned my C6 for a little under 3 weeks and I finally had my first wave as a Corvette owner. During a test drive I had gotten one, but it didn't seem as "special," felt like I was almost cheating, lol. I owned a Jeep Wrangler when I was in college, so I used to get the Jeep wave from other Wrangler drivers, well male Wrangler drivers that is, but getting the wave while in my new Vette was waaaaaay cooler

I love my Vette!!!

I got one today from a blue C5. Only had my 08 for 2 weeks, but I've had waves from all 3 Vette drivers I've met on the streets here in Tullahoma.

I told my gf that when I bought my car the dealer told me about the wave and also told me about the secret handshake.

I told her now I was in a club that required Corvette people to wave at one another when we passed each other on the road.

As well that if I new someone with a Corvette and we were talking we could perform our secret handshake..

She totally beleived it..LOL

Default Feel like a cheap hooker with lots of bling.

Sorry folks, but I have to post here.

I've had two vettes, both used.. a c4 and c5 ZO6. Some of you may remember me, but I've been of the forum for quite a while since I had to sell the Z.

So.. it was time to buy a new car. I did not want to buy another used vette, and for what I was willing to spend, I would not be happy with a base model .

So, I went out and bought a new Camaro SS vert. She sure has lot's of bling and loves to take her top down... but anyway.. I digress..

So I was really looking forward to getting some Camaro waves..

Well, it doesn't seem to happen. I'm pretty dissapointed. I find myself trying wave at corvettes.. while I'm in my Camaro.. duh.. it's not a vette...

Hope I didn't make a mistake.

Fond wave to you all ..

I've gotten a couple here and there...and it does feel good! I keep waving whether they wave back or not! It is really cool though when you get it back. Nice brotherhood!

I've also owned my Vette for about three weeks now. Got my first wave within a couple of days. I didn't know about the custom, so I was a little late in returning it. Before I owned the Vette, I never really noticed Vette owners waving.

I'll definately do my part to keep the tradition alive

Save the Wave. It should be written in the owner's manual.

Congrats on the first wave, and may it be the first of many. Remember, it doesn't matter what year the Vette is, it's a Vette is all that matters.
