Default No wave

Every Sunday I go to the car show in my area. There must be a few dozen corvettes. Do you think the Vette owners would wave. Not! I wave! Keep the wave going guys!

Just saying.

I've had the car a little over a week and I've seen two other Corvettes. A C7 next to me at a light, I waved but he had dark tint and I couldn't tell if it was returned.

Then, coming home one night, came upon another C6 head-on in very slow surface street traffic. He apparently spotted me and flashed his brights, and I returned the "electric" wave. That experience actually made me smile when it happened.

C-7 owners seem to think they are above it IMHO

On our last road trip we passed at least a dozen other Vettes, from C3's to C7's; all but 2 returned the wave ... another C6 & a C5 driver.

I remember when C6 owners were like that.

Vettes certainly wave around here for the most part.

Went three for three for waves on Friday. Most people I've encountered here acknowledge each other.

I always wave first if I see another vette. Most wave back some don't. Occasionally I will not see one until it is too late to return the wave given, so you must assume that happens to others also. No biggie but the response is nice.

Or a wink? I don't get expecting a wave at a car show. Nobody ever waves at a car show. The wave is for passing on the road.

I wave to every Corvette I see. When I still lived in California, I almost always got a return wave. Not so much since I moved to Arizona. My last encounter was a group of 4 C6's, and none of them waved back. Maybe I should try the light flashing wave

I always try to wave, don't care if they wave back, but I think most people in Michigan wave. I do miss waving occasionally because Corvettes are not as distinctive as they were in the past, they tend to blend in with many other cars from the front end.
