There is a LOT of big money cars running around Scottsdale AZ. I waved at Lambo the other day before I knew what I was waving at and the driver gave me a thumbs up. I wave at just about everything though. Most people not driving corvettes are really confused and I am amused.

Love to wave, they don't always wave back, but I try to make sure I wave.

I'm one of the rare, probably not that rare, owners of a vette and a bike. I damn near wave to everyone on the road

People don't wave so much down here in Orange County... I've been shot down too many times to care anymore... Now I just ignore other Corvettes (actually I still stare cause there so damn pretty)...

I wave, even at other models/brands...we are a pretty tight knit car community, so most of the Camaro's, Mustang's and bikes know each other...but the Dodge Boys kinda stay to themselves.

I didn't even know about the wave when I bought mine two years ago. One of my first drives out I saw another C6 across the intersection, and instinctively waved at it. Of course, he waved back Only later on did I discover it's an actual thing that Vette owners do.

My car is pretty much a fair-weather cruiser and on those often rare sunny days, most other drivers are in a pretty good frame of mind.

I wave at all Corvettes and almost everyone returns the sentiment.

I even wave at convertible Camaros that have their top down.

It's an automotive compliment of sorts, and I appreciate the gesture.

You know, I do too. But I gotta tell you, the ONLY generation that never (and I mean never) waives back are the C4s...

I gotta admit. I'm a bit "stumped"....

The 5's and 6's are going by too fast to react.
