DFW: Do You Wave?
For those of you in the North Texas/DFW area, how many of you wave back when a fellow Vette owner waves at you? If not, why not? I seem to get left hangin' all the time in the Dallas area. Just curious.

I always wave. And, I always feel bad if I catch the passing Vette out of the corner of my eye and miss the wave.
What is the worst is when you pass a Vette in full wave and don't see the other driver until it's too late. Makes me feel like a jerk. Especially driving a Z06. Not to sound goofy, but especially driving a Z, I feel obligated to wave...

Bet you're gonna find that most of the folks on the Forum wave, it's the others who don't. Here's my guesstimate of the percentages who wave:
C5 50%
C5 - female driver 0.00001%
C4 60%
C4 - female driver 10%
C1, C2, or C3 99%
C1, C2, or C3 - female driver (no such thang in DFW)
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Personally, I always wave (first) unless it's a C4 or C5 - then I wait for the other driver to wave.

I always give the non-wavers the "must not have seen me" benefit of the doubt. :D Maybe that sort of positive thinking pays off eventually... I got a return wave from a blonde in a white coupe a couple of weeks back. :)
