Is the wave dead????
 

Is the wave dead??? I keep waving but not getting much love back. Save the wave! :cheers:

Yeah I've been wondering the same thing. I always wave at fellow Corvette owners. Save the Wave!!!

I get the wave a lot from C5 owners but not C6'ers.

Just got a wave yesterday from a C6 Z06 :thumbs:

^^this

I've given up on c6's. I only get smug looks

Us old guys wave all the time,:D but I agree C6 response is very poor. Back in the day it didn't matter if it was a C1, 2 or 3 we all waved (but their were not too many of us on the road).:lol:

Remember to WAVE!:thumbs:

The C5's seem to be a guaranteed wave along with the C1-C4's but most of the C6's out there... No such luck. :toetap:

i am not sure...i saw a few c5's and c6's out today and only one c5 waved back...what's up with that?

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

It's that new money, us boomers grew up with
gasoline in our veins

I wave evey time regardless if the other person does or not.

:iagree: Me too. Not trying to give the C5ers a bad name! :seeya

Here in S. FL even C5 owners are seem clueless for the most part.

Fill out your profile so we know where not to go that people don't wave.
Here in Nevada I get waves all the time. A very few don't wave or don't see me.

A lot of younger buyers these days. They aren't aware of history or tradition, just looking for the fastest car for the least money. If you read some of the posts, you can see they don't know much about the car they bought either. Personally, I wave at every Corvette I see, whether they see me or not. I'm waving to show respect for their car, and I don't get my feelings hurt if they don't return the wave. Nobody can ever say they passed me in either Corvette and I didn't wave. It's just the way I was brought up.

It's about a 50 percent chance in OKC.

Yes it's dead.

Now this is the kind of spirit I like.:rofl:

Ive been waving since 1958. Always get a wave.. there are some new issues that are not apart of the guarantee of a wave . Heavy tinting some time the sun and angle of the wind shield causes lack of view of a wave... I have heard a few people who own c6 corvettes refer to the wave as a childish 1950's thing. Just like the standard C6 is more of a European techno car, it doesn't scream American Muscle like it's older siblings. Most C5'ers and older are ok with the corvette culture but when we lost the pop up lights, we lost more than just the lights. In 1963 when we went with the flip ups it was not a big deal and was actually embraced, but when we went back to the non flip lights there was a lot of controversy in the design even at the Gm design center. The older senior designers like myself were not happy with the European direction the Corvette was taking and the lights were a big part of the controversy. IM glad I retired before becoming part of that direction. The new C6 culture is far removed from those Saturday night cruise-in's at the burger shop, rock and roll music, and D.A.'s us older guys grew up with. And while it is not politically correct today, I sometimes miss squaring off with someone on the 1/4 mile marked off local high speed Bypass, when we were young and dumb.

For some glorious reason around here I usually always get a wave, even from the C6'ers
