I don't wave. I never will. I have some pretty severe social anxiety, so I prefer if people would just leave me alone.
The best way I've heard someone describe it was in a thread about someone not talking to him outside a store, whoever it was said something along the lines of "I'm a car enthusiast, not a people enthusiast." That almost perfectly describes me.
Catch me at a a car show and I tend to be a bit more relaxed, and am somewhat able to deal with people, but on the road, or in a parking lot? You'll get nothing from me.
I'm seeing a black car ,black rims, heavy tint, you get a pass cause we can't tell if your waving or not. We just think there goes a cool guy.
See you can fool us!!!

I always wave and usually get a wave back. The other day I was coming up on a gas station and a red vert was waiting to pull out to go in the opposite direction. Knowing he probably couldn't see me, I rolled the window down and gave him a wave over the roof. I got an awesome wave back.
it's the new generation. i mean, wtf do they know? guys like us who have been around a few decades know what the wave thing is all about. give them time, they'll learn.
I bought my first and only Vette when I was 29 (30 now), a 2013 C6 AT coupe. I was not what you'd call an enthusiast till about 6 months before I bought the car. Somehow I heard about the wave, probly here on CF. anyways, I am a regular waver at all vettes, and too have experienced the neglect of non-waivers. Cant explain it. Maybe they just don't know, I don't now you can drive this car though and treat it like any other car.
Keep waiving fellas , eventually they'll figure it out
Got a great wave yesterday . On a highway merge .... another red Vette is in my rear view coming up from behind 1/4 mile back. As I take an off ramp . He high beams me ... we both get the windows down .... 60 ft apart for a High five wave . Light traffic no high speed chases required . Always nice to see a twin car to yours .

Drove from Augusta back to Atlanta, GA. today and saw three red corvettes. Gave the "WAVE" got a wave back from one for sure. The other two was to far away and windows were tinted to dark to tell but I wave anyway.
I always wave if I see the fellow vette owner in time.
I also wear driving gloves, just because I like them.
If you notice them, please don't think I am an arrogant, pretentious, pompous ***. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...ng-gloves.html
I am a regular Joe, just like my name.
I wave to all vettes but I do find the C1, 2 and C3 owners rarely wave back. Its a bit irritating to wave and not receive one back but I figure they were either busy, inattentive or just a douche bag.
C1 owners always waved. I was one when there were only C1's. Not very common to see one outside of Florida then, but we waved:smash.
Problem is, most of them are dead. If they could, they would be waving

Not even close. Red car, silver wheels (I'll be getting chrome eventually) and absolutely no tint. I despise black wheels, especially on black cars. I think the site would censor what I think when people wave to me as they go by.
P.S. How very kind of you to make fun of me for having social anxiety issues, I don't get that nearly enough. And people wonder why I hate people.
Just got home from a day at Ocean City , Md. and got a few nice waves, and Of course I returned the wave. The best was a black z came along side me at 75 mph and we both waved through our side windows as I took an exit for De.
