Got to agree with you .....

I've kinda reached the point that unless the car is super cool, looks like mine, or in my neighborhood, I pretty much just wave back.

More and more lately I kinda feel like a jerk waving to Corvettes ... because other Vette owners so seldom wave back. C5's, other C6's, C7's -- doesn't seem to matter. Around here, they just don't wave back.

Id wave but who knows. I do agree the C8 is just a completely different thing. To me, it doesn't even feel like a corvette. Corvette always seemed like the working mans sportscar and this seems like it will change that and get away from that.
We'll see soon. Think some of this will depend on pricing.

I never initiate a wave, I will return one, but never put one out there. I used to, but most Vette drivers seemed to be handicapped and drove with no arms.

Hell, I'll wave to a guy on a bicycle if he is wearing a Corvette T-shirt!!

No! I've stopped waving period! I started to feel like an idiot when other Vette drivers never returned my mine. I guess it might be different in other parts of the country. There's a lot of Vettes in Florida.

A Corvette is a Corvette. Old or new it is America’s true sports car. I wave at all vettes no matter their style. There are some styles that I do not care for but in the end it is an American Corvette. It takes all kinds so if the other driver does not reciprocate the wave so be it. Rude but I let it go. Tim
