The WAVE!
I did it! My first Corvette wave today. 
Picked up my new C7 Wednesday evening and today saw two Corvettes. I waved at the first guy but didn't get a response (he may not have seen me because he was busy cutting someone off-just kidding, I think, looked like he was passing someone, yeah, that sounds better) but the second Corvette made my day! So cool, I was just getting my hand up to wave and he already had a big thumbs up sign going.
Loved it, my first Vette, my first wave, definitely a great feeling.
Thanks again to all the Forum members who made my C7 possible by encouragement and information, it would have been a very different car without you guys. My CRT Z51 with NPP and MSRC drives like a dream and, as a former Cayman S owner, I have to say it may be better than the Cayman S (brute power aside) and I honestly didn't think that was possible.
Glad to be a member of this Forum.

Uh, newbie here...can someone elaborate on the Corvette Wave for me?
Had a motorcycle, did that wave...
I was driving home last night (live in Bowling Green, KY), and saw a C7 coming my way...so I waved to him.
I know I caught the driver's attention, 'cause his eyes followed my a bit after we passed.
After a while it dawned on me why I got a stare in return...as I looked down at my steering wheel, the PT Cruiser logo 'bout jumped out at me!!! LOL......
Lord I must get my C7!!!
My C7 is scheduled to be in production on the 10th and 11th of this month!

I'll wave to you
Hi Carl,
I will be looking for your wonderful Z51 C7 and will be sure to wave if I am in my C6 or my 1984 C-10. Won't bother in the Acura since you would not recognize it.

And you have an open opportunity to drive it too. My old boss at school has a C5 and has followed me through the whole order/build of my C7. I went and visited him and, as always, his office was full. Use to take me days to get in to see before. I stuck my head in on Wednesday and he goes "You got it?", I said yup and he grabs the person in his office by the arm and escorts them out. Locks office and says let's go. As we get near the car he was literally shaking. I let him drive and he gives me his cell to take pics of him driving, then gets on the phone with his wife to tell her. We come back and his secretary asks if he's OK, he is still shaking. Of course, there is a cure but there is a waiting list for it
