EVERY Corvette owner should see this. You know, EVERY C4 I've seen out on the street, the driver has waved. Less than a quarter of C5 owners and less than half of the C6 guys even give me the time of day. It's really sad that the Corvette Community has come to this. Of course there are bad apples in every bunch, but my point remains.

great advice to follow, we follow that to a t .

Should be required by law.

I've always waved when I had my c3, c4, c5 and now c6. Some people out there shouldn't be allowed to drive Vettes (the grey haired bags that don't even look sideways when you are next to them).

Great commandments to live by! I always have to break #6 though, I live in an apt complex so I don't have the capability to hand wash my baby.

My experience has been just the opposite.

The C3 , C5 and every so often C6 owner waves..

I've have had only 2 C4 owners wave back out of the 10 or 15 I've seen while driving.

Maybe it's just a location thing.

I'm into Harley's too and the same thing exists there. Some guys are friendly, some are not. I wave to all Corvettes, if I get a wave back, cool, if not....oh well. Life is short, I'm just glad I have to chance to enjoy these great cars. I don't worry about arrogant people....

Very cool post! I follow everyone of those ten commandments, even more so than the original ones!

You'll get use to it.

I guess it is about location. The C4 guys that I've seen around central Virginia have all been really nice and have all waved back (knock on wood). Like I said before, there's bad apples in every bunch. What other Vette owners do don't bother me, if they don't even look at me or give me the time of day, I'll just know that they aren't real Corvette fans, and I'll just go on with enjoying mine!

That's with anything I guess.. Sometimes I expect people to be just as crazy about Corvettes as I am, and a lot of the time I've met people just like that, which is awesome. Of course, there are also the people driving just for the name.

If I don't get a wave back, then I'll just go on with my day and enjoying my Vette!

I agree with all of them except #3... What is wrong with cheap gas?

VeryUnoriginal

Same here...

It took me a while to get that one.

Hey, I love the commandments and the picture is super. I printed out two copies on photo paper. I will frame both of them, one for my garage by my 90 coupe and one for my neighbor and friend who has a 04 convertable and a 69 coupe. I am sure it will hang in his garage by his Vettes. Thanks.

I think I resent that statement. JK I happen to be one of those grey haired bags and have been driving vettes since 1969. I currently have a 1995 C4 and a 2013 C6. I have waved regardless of my age and if I were to make an accusation, it would be that, in my humble opinion, it is the younger generation that does not wave. No matter, I wave to all. We are all one large community. Let us not pick on one another.

There should be number 11. Though shall not have side windows up with convertible top down or targa top removed.

Hey....take it easy on us "old guys", I may not notice you next to me but damn well will see you approaching from the rear or passing by...and always wave...

Its my understanding that, with the introduction of the C5, owners of newer corvettes didnt want to associate themselves with the rougher-riding, slower, hard-to-get-in-and-out-of, older corvettes. They consider the C5/6 models a different 'family' of cars much like you or I would consider a chevrolet to be different than a bmw.

Only with the introduction of the 1997 corvette, did I start hearing of older corvettes start being called 'c4, c3, etc'.

I think newer corvette owners dont consider a c4 to be in the same family of cars as their pride-and-joy that they have to make sacrifices to make the payments on.

Many times on this website you will find newer corvette owners (and even former c4 owners) bashing c4 corvettes.

For these reasons, I continue to mod the snot out of my car. Im galvanized to prove a point. My latest dyno pull had me at 510 rwhp at 5400 rpm (more if I would have stayed into it). While that might be nothing compared to a supercharged C6 z-car, keep in mind that Im not done. Im building my learning curve. When I build a motor for this (im still on stock bottom end), Im going to do it right.

Ive had to take welding classes and such to learn how to make parts for this car since the aftermarket doesnt support it.

When the day is done, my goal is to prove that a c4 is equally capable as the best mod'd c5/6 z-car.

The only waving I'll be doing is a 'bye-bye' wave.
