Something I noticed in this area....

...and maybe it's just this area or maybe it's all around the country.

I've noticed A LOT of C4 guys won't bother waving to C5 guys. I get waves from the C5 and C6 crowds all the time(and a lot of C3 guys too) but no C4's.

Is it just me or am I noticing something legitimate?

It's just you. I wave to every vette when I see one and I drive 2 C4s.

Its hit-or-miss in this area. I wave like a beauty pagent winner but don't seem to get many returns. Maybe I should slow down

I wave to all of them. Interestingly enough, the C6 guys seem to wave the lease (my informal survey) and I drive a C6!

Fresh pic from yesterday, the wave is alive and well, even from the C6 guys.

I don't get too many waves from corvette drivers - A lot of them think they are too good to "save the wave" BUT in PA yesterday every Vette that we passed waved to us.

Who cares....

WAVE!! WAVE!! WAVE!!!

If they don't wave back..... that's their loss!!

Heck - over the weekend....we were driving around and saw a nice C6 coming towards us. My husband was driving and he did the usual wave out the side window. ...I stuck my whole arm out the top of the vette (coupe) and waved. I was having fun.....

The guy in the C6 waved and got the biggest grin on his face!!

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!

I wave whichever generation I'm driving to whichever generation I pass. In general, the newer the Vette I wave to the fewer the waves back. Some people in newer Vettes aren't enthusiasts. Most of the people in the C1, C2 and C3's are enthusiasts.

However, Anyone reading this and spending time on this forum is an enthusiast no matter which generation they drive and will wave.

I wave regardless, it was just something I noticed that's all.

Maybe I'll flip off the next C4 guy I see

My friends laugh at me when I do it but I tell them to go screw themselves and keep on doing it.

maybe thier hand is somewhere it shouldn't be while driving.
