Same here. I find that the ones who return the wave least often are driving the older generations, like C2s or C3s. Sometimes a quick headlight flash is used in place of the wave. That works too, it's a simple acknowledgement.

This is my first corvette and I catch other vettes giving me the wave but I don't usually even realize it until its way to late to wave back....Sorry!!!
On a side note I just bought my Girlfriend a 14' Ford Raptor and apparently there is a Raptor wave too

I have been waving from every corvette I have ever owned, since 1969, I'm not stopping just because some people think they are above it all.
WAVE it costs you nothing, and you may just make a new friend.

The only thing you need to know is that some folks wave, and some don't. If you wave and they don't...let it go. Don't let it bother you. Some wave, and some don't. Thats all you need to remember.

On the way to work today, I had a lovely Woman driving a Red C6 pull up next to me in Traffic.
She rolled down the passenger window to tell me how much she liked my Car and that she thought the Personalized License Plate was pretty cool.
I usually give a wave to other Vette Drivers and sometimes I flash the lights if there is one sitting across from me at an Intersection waiting for the Light.
It's either a Club or a Cult. Haven't figured that out yet. LOL

What do you guys do when someone passes you and gives a thumbs up? If they're slowly passing and I see it I wave. But when they're fast they're already ahead of you.

And trust me, it's not limited to only C7 owners. More and more earlier generation owners do not wave. Perhaps it is because the cars are getting more and more affordable and more and more first timers are getting into Corvette ownership.

I think you all are making too big an issue about it.
Wave if you see one, and don't worry if you don't' see them waving back. Wait! It will come around and be fashionable, again, just like a wave in a stadium will eventually roll around and get back to you.

I have just started to notice c7's popping up around my part of town. I wave at them all and only manage to get a wave back once in a while. It hurts me to say I think the wave is dieing or is dead. I do notice that a lot of later gen vettes c6 and 5 mainly won't even look at the stingray. Now when im at the dealership oh everyone wants to talk about it.
