Default Corvette wave

I had a 2005 vette and often received and gave the corvette wave over the 5 years I had it. I have had my 2014 since early May and numerous times have given the wave to fellow owners but have not received them in return. Anyone else experiencing this at all?

While we're all Vette-heads here, there's a good majority out there that may still not even realize what the C7 is (or that there's a new Corvette in some cases).

Everybody knows a C5 or C6 even at night by the distinctive markers, etc. I get a lot of last-minute returned waves once they figure out what it is.

I'll wave, but the incessant Corvette Wave threads in the C6 Gen forum got REAL old when I had my C6. This is the first one I've seen in the C7 forum. Here's hoping it doesn't start a trend.

Thread Closed.

Oh, there have been a few threads, but I've found what Theta has said to be true. I don't think that enough other Vette drivers have seen enough of us to realize it in time to wave, in many cases.

No matter, it's not worth sweating over, or even fretting, or even bothering with, for that matter.

Just put that wave out there and don't worry about if they actually saw you or not.
