Default Broken or Missing Function

I've been driving the car around a while now and enjoying it as much as ever. But I've noticed a problem which is increasing in frequency.

Whenever a two seater Chevrolet passes me, the drivers start gesturing towards me strangely shaking their arms and hands at the car.

I have tried ignoring these junky old cars but this harassment continues towards the exotic C8. What's going on? Is there something wrong with my car?

Note: y'all need to have a group meeting about the wave before the rest of us disown you are start flying the bird.

Many C8 drivers are self indulgent wieners.

Even weiners can wave. Looks more like a helicopter, but they can wave.

i think it's more like how Jeeps don't wave at H3s, Harleys don't wave at sport bikes, etc... you have to both be driving real Corvettes for the wave instinct to kick in.
otherwise, it requires a conscious effort to be like your grandparents & rednecks who just wave at other drivers to be nice.




reckon that's how i'd size up your predicament.
