Dang straight! I'll wave at the lucky dawg! It will probably be at least 6 months or more before I see one, though.

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.

We'll see soon. Think some of this will depend on pricing.
I sure will wave. I'm one of those "working men" and plan on being a C8 owner around third model year.

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.

Corvette is Corvette. And I wave to all Corvettes regardless of Generation.

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.

Just think, you can soon start waving at people riding camels around Disney.

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
