Default When to wave...........

so I'm out cruisin' on a Saturday and I see a Ford Excursion pulling a trailer with an intact,C2 that looks like it could use some love (wip) on it. I waved at the driver of the Ford but the windows were blacked out, but I waved. WWCF do? nOOb

I wave at Vettes all the time regardless of what I'm driving. During a recent road trip back east I passed a small military convoy and the lead Hummer's driver gave me a "V" as he passed me on the interstate in a construction zone when we were forced to drive undivided. Made my day.

During my recent nearly 7,000 mile road trip I missed a number of wave opportunities, for which I apologize to those car owners. My Bad!

I always wave at Vettes and lately, to any other high performance American made car. Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers.

Of course, the others only get a 'thumbs-up' and not the Super Secret Corvette wave.

Agreed, or as Raazor might say "I wouldn't loose any sheep over it".

I usually wave at all cool cars, hot women and anybody else that is lookin my way

So what's the 'secret' vette wave? I just raise a peace sign or somethin.

If you wave at Mustangs, why stop there? Why not Cruzes and Fusions.
Ya, I don't do the wave thing to Mustangs, that would be against my religion.
For me, Corvettes and higher unless another driver not on my list of "waveable" cars initiates, then I happily return the wave.

I've all but given up on waving at any vette, it seems like all the ones near me that I wave at don't bother, makes me feel like a dork for bothering.. Sorry guys, but I'm through!
