Default Wave dammit.

Red light at an intersection.

I'm the first car in line headed east.

Directly across is a GS headed west, also the first car.

Hand up, looking, looking, looking, no wave... WTF?

This should be on the first page of the owners manual. I wave if I see you in time, even if you don't wave back.

A lot of people can buy a Corvette, not all of them are enthusiasts.

Amen to that brother. I've gotten into the habit of flashing the brights then waving. It almost always gets a response.

I agree, thought the wave was like HD riders but so many I see just do not wave back


Oh well I will keep it up till day I die and if they wave they wave if not well so be it

that come in all ages. Over the week end I went up to Michigan. Going there and back I saw ten corvettes. I got a wave from all but one. That one was a sliver C6 with an old man that looked to be older than me and I'm 63 driving.

Sometimes it's hard to see the other driver, sun reflection window tints etc. I generally don't initiate a wave, if someone waves, I will wave back.

A lot times my hands are full; coffee, not paying attention, cigar, wife's hand/knee/ thigh etc, other hand on wheel or some combination of all. Will try to nod or smile in return. All other times I wave

A lot of drivers are just daydreaming behind the wheel & not aware of the others wave, sometimes I didn't realize it was another vette until they have passed by just to be seen in my rear view mirror. to all of those I just want to say I'm sorry,,,,!!!
