Default Do C6 drivers wave?



On the way to Bowling Green for CI V, I passed a couple of C6's going the other way. I waved to both, but didn't get a wave back.

As I was leaving Bowling Green on Sunday, I passed another C6 and again, I waved. Again, I was snubbed.

What's up with that?

The people you saw were probably not Corvette owners. Me if I see you in your Corvette I will wave. But right now I am Corvetteless. I should have waited to sell my C5. So I won't be waving until the C6 is in my hands.

They have to wave . It's just another model of Vette. There will be more Vette's to come and we shall all wave. It's a Kinship...

This may be a bigger problem than ever with C6 owners!!! After all, most of them will need to keep both hands on the wheel as much as possible just to hang on.

It's not about a generation of Corvette... Heck I forget that I'm in the Honda Odyssey and wave at a Vette sometimes!!!

Not only do they wave, but they ask you if you want to check out the car. At least that's what the two guys in the MY C6 coupe did as I was pulling out of the museum parking lot monday afternoon.
