I've owned modified Jeeps for a couple decades now. They're all over the place here and it seems like they all do the wave to other Jeepers. I got tired of keeping my hand up all the time, so I stopped doing the Jeep wave. When I purchased my C6, I figured Corvette owners would probably also do the wave...I've passed countless in the last 6 months of owning my C6 and have yet to encounter my first wave.
tl;dr If you really want to wave, get a Jeep.

Tell the truth, I have almost waived at a Trans Am or two before I realized at the last minute what I was doing.
Remind me my earliest days as a Marine Corps MP. One of our jobs was to salute the officers as they drove through the main gate. I can't tell you how many Navy Chief Petty Officers I accidently saluted. The brass emblems on their collars made them look just like commissioned officers.
The CPOs were typically pretty classy about it though. They would almost always return the salute with a big smile...

Hey guys just want to share my thoughts on waving to a fellow corvette owner...I didn't know about this until I bought my 08 C6 last month and I honestly think it's one of the best things about owning a vette...my brother owned 3 motorcycles and would tell me about the comradely he would have with other motorcyclists and how they would always wave to each other and I would see it all the time when driving my car and a motorcyclist was close by and I always thought it was bad ***...and now that I have this car I've already gotten two waves from vette owners and I think its just bitchin! Im 34 years old and the guys that waved to me were older and I feel like I've been accepted into an elite group! Share your thoughts!
And, they are actually pretty affordable compared to other vehicles. I have a 2013 Ford F-150 Platinum that is pretty similar in price. Yes, a pickup truck!This is not meant to be an attack on you, C6ROLLER, as I am happy that you are excited!
I certainly don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, and my thread is not directed at you, specifically, just my thoughts, in general. I am sure you are good dude! It's just that, for me, thinking that "we" are somehow special because we drive a regular vehicle with some out-of-the-ordinary bodywork, seems a bit, umm, weird, and uh, dare I say, childish?...
Flame suit on!!
And I as I am typing this, I think to myself, why in the hell am I spending time sharing my thoughts when I could be out riding one of the motorcycles, or one of the convertibles!
Ciao!

I wave every chance I get but seems like fewer and fewer owners are keeping the tradition alive.

[QUOTE=Silverblue;1583561633]You know, I do too. But I gotta tell you, the ONLY generation that never (and I mean never) waives back are the C4s...

Weird. Go to the C4 section and they say the exact same thing about the C6 folks.

Glad your excited, but an "elite" group? Really, it's just a fun car. Elite is a bit of a stretch, no? I mean, it's actually a pretty basic GM car when you get down to it.
