It's just common courtesy.

I very rarely see other vettes when I drive, but when I do I usually wave.

Seems like the older the Corvette, the more likelier that they will wave back. C7’s? Very rarely.

There's lots of Corvettes in Florida. I've experienced the same thing. That's OK, in a couple of months, the C7 owners will get their turn not to be wave to!

I see several c5's, c6's, and c7's when I drive. Most don't wave. I used to more often but the lack of reciprocity will get you down. Funny thing is I live in the country but work in the city; when I get close to home, everyone waves regardless of what they drive.

I'm new to the C6 scene...here in North Dakota there aren't many vettes. I wave to every one I see. Most wave back.

I'm new as well. Off and on here in Houston. Larger percentage of C6 and C5 over C7, and generally older guys like me. Similar to when I had a Jeep and did the Jeep wave.

I wave (driving and traffic allowing) to all Corvette drivers. Most wave back. Some don't... I don't lose sleep over it.

I'm assuming the waving rule is suspended at the Corvette Caravan? Otherwise, I'm just taping a picture of a waving hand on the windshield. :O

Most importantly what kind of burrito did you get???

I generally don't wave, but if they wave at me I'll wave back

I gave the wave when I had my Corvettes, but maybe there's something that's been forgotten about why some don't get return waves. Many Corvettes have tinted windows and maybe you're just not seeing their return wave. Or, if your car has tinted windows, maybe they're not seeing your wave.
