Corvette Hand Acknowledgement
Greetings, I could not find a forum category that fit my question so here it is under new members since I guess I am still somewhat new.
Over the years I always acknowledge another Vette when meeting on the highway. A simple wave. Is there an official "wave/hand signal" (like motorcyclists use) for Vette owners? other than a middle finger if someone blows your doors off.

No "official" signal I know of. Just "the Corvette wave". Any polite gesture will do.

Someone once posted that the driver of the newer car waves first. However, that was posted in the C1 & C2 section where all us old farts hang out.

A simple good old fashioned American wave is generally favored...Locked wrist of course...
