Default The wave

Saw 14 Corvettes today on a trip from Oakville to Turkey Point Provincial Park and return through Port Dover, no one returned the wave. Perhaps the drivers thought I was crazy for having the top down in this heat. LOL

I received a wave back the other day but I think people these days are so wrapped up in their own business they don't even think about it any more.

I used to. Not sure if it’s a thing anymore. If someone asks about my car I’ll stop and talk to them.

I still wave, often with my whole arm out the roof, but return rates are decreasing every year.

Stop the Hating on C8's. We have had 3 C8's and always wave. Whether we are driving the C3 or the C8 we get waves back most of the time if we are seen.
With today's traffic and pot holes it is sometimes hard to take your eyes off the road, so a wave might not be seen.
Have you ever been in a C8? or driven one? You might appreciate 20 years of advancement. I love all corvettes including yours. I rarely come on in the CDN section anymore
because of stupid comments like yours.

Don’t hate the C8, it’s just that my gut tells me many C8 owners don’t see a C3 as a relative to their car. You own multiple generations, so you’re not a typical C8 owner. Glad you support the hobby with waving

In terms of the actual car, we all know how great the C8 is !!

I think Vette owners and perhaps it's their first Vette don't know about the wave. I keep waving with the hope that it will catch on with the new owners.
