Default No Waves today!

Took Blue Angel out to run errands today. Decided since it was a glorious day, I would put the top down! Hope my allergies do not act up later on! I saw 3 Vettes today! 2 C4s and 1 C5. Not one person waved! What is up with that? Do they not know our special wave?

I say, when they ignore you or just don't know about it.....over do it so they'll get the point and wave next time.

Here's one from Big D

since I purchased my vette about 2 months ago, I have seen probably 15 vettes while in mine.

I have waved at every one of them and have only received 1 wave. it was a c4 owner,

I've noticed it seems to be the 55+ drivers in C5's who don't (as a generality). I've NEVER had a female wave, ever... wonder if that's because I'm a female myself.

I've gotten a few from female vette drivers, but I make it a point to pull up right next to them and tell them how sweet there vette is while I'm sitting right there in mine.

Got a female wave from a black C5 and one from a black C6 too.

No one waves around here. Not even a head nod. The most waves I get are from kids

I've had a female approach going faster than me on the freeway in the same direction. She was in a C4. She actually slowed to my speed, looked over, I looked at her, then she waved and sped off!

Last night I was certain a wave was forthcoming. I could see in my rear view mirror another Mill. Yellow vette like mine was approaching on my left. As it got closer I could see it too was a convertible. I figured, this is definitely going to be a wave situation.

He got besides me, didn't EVEN LOOK!!!!! Just kept on going without any acknowledgement. I figured he must of just stole the car. Why else would he avoid 'the wave?'

I've had other vettes come onto freeway behind me. I wave even when they are behind me. They wave back!

I hear ya! I got my 3rd straight non wave today when I passed a guy in a red C4. Thankfully my streak was broken when I was driving through my subdivision and passed a MY C5 coupe. I got waves from both the driver and passenger in that one!
