I always make every attempt to wave. Sometimes I feel guilty because this time of the year my windows are up and I have a dark tint. I waved but "did they see me"?

Some folks probably are not aware of the wave

I always wave. Most times I get a wave back, but there are those who do not. Think sometimes they do not see me at all.

Here is a post for you all to store.

When no one has waved at you for a long time, and you have run out of spares (supplied by me), come back and I will give you a refill.

When I bought my C7 a little over a year ago (my first Corvette), I quickly figured out that other Corvette owners were waving at me. I had a similar realization when I bought my Jeep Wrangler. I have also been a motorcycle rider for many years, more waving. Now every vehicle I own gets waves and I have to think about what I'm driving so I know who to wave to. I usually get it right.

I always wave and reckon the (return wave is +- 60-70%). I'll change nothing unless/ until that number falls below 50%. Hope that never becomes necessary.

The wave is alive and well around here. Rarely is it not returned.
