Wave is alive and well down here in so cal... If anything anytime I talk to a random corvette owner a lot of them read the forum so they know what's up. Pretty much anytime I get near a cool car (stoplight, see someone loading up some grocery etc) I always try to give a compliment. I'm like a mosquito in the light when it comes to bad *** cars.
kindness is contagious and a moral booster! Just go out and be nice to everyone! Even if they are ******! #notOnMyLevel
unless your that one guy........
where's that one guy at????

I say I get waves about 80% of the time here in Westchester, NY.
I also got ran down by a guy on a Harley who just wanted to pull up alongside of me and scream "Corvettes rule the road, man!" over and over at me. He was so excited when I gave him the thumbs-up. Fun times.

Forget the wave...
Why do Corvette owners drive so stupid?
Following a JackAzz from Indiana in a 45MPH zone along the Nantahala river, we saw massive speeds up to but not beyond 30MPH... Down to 15MPH.
US74 is a highway. Are there not rivers in Indiana?
Why not set the Cruise control and hold the speed.
This went on for ten miles until they turned into a tourist trap. Jerks!
It was like driving behind a group of Corvettes on Deal's Gap.

I would at least modify that to add the word "some."
The last time I drove this particular circuit I got stuck in a caravan doing from 10-15 MPH under the limit. As cars would pass in the short passing areas available I eventually worked myself to the point where I could see the culprit causing the backup.
Much to my chagrin it was the stereotype reinforcing elderly Corvette driver in a C6 vert, putt putting along and oblivious to the traffic backup. (an I'm no spring chicken, either)

It's not as important that THEY wave as it is that YOU do. 
*****Like so many things in life, we can only control what *we* do; how others choose to react is beyond our control.*****
I get probably a 50% return on waves here in Las Vegas. I just choose to think that perhaps they are new to the Corvette world, and if enough OTHER Corvette drivers wave at them, they might get the message that it's a thing!

The wave has been replaced with the "V"
Had a funny incident -- another Corvette was merging onto the freeway, so I pulled up next to him and paced him for a bit. He completely ignored me!
Some drivers are no fun.
