Default The Wave

Passed a silver C6 and a black C6 today... no wave. This has become a common theme as of late.

Default Hummmmmm

hope he/she is new. I remember when I first got mine. I was driving around Central Fla. and all these people, in other Vetts were waving to me, enen across 4 lanes of traffic! I figured that someone pretty popular had the same car as mine LOL. But I waved back any way to be nice. It's almost common cortousie (sp). Nothing wrong with giving a wave, even if it's to a mini van.
Our society has become very strange!

Default Wave

I keep on waving anyway. I even wave when I'm in my truck. No one knows I have a vette, but I wave anyway.

You're doing your part to keep the tradition alive. Good for you!
If they choose not to participate, they lose out by not being a part of the Corvette community. IMHO.

This brings to mind another issue...

I wave at every vette I see, but then I realize they can't see me waving because my windows are heavily tinted. I'm sure they probably think I'm one of those non-waving schmucks!

I've gotten many waves as of late, but there is the lady in a black C4 that I see every morning on the way to work that won't even look my direction. She has to pass me, so I know she sees my car.

i have always considered women exempt from the wave, and from backing into parking spots..I tell my g/f never back in to a parking spot, I like my exhaust
I also tell her the wave is optional for her..however, I always wave.

Lots of uninformed owners. 2 to 1 they dont drive around with sore jaws from all the the **** eating grinning we do either. It's a fact of life, just enjoy it and wave your *** off!!! Never got a ticket for waving ...
