No need to do penance - a true car enthusiast can appreciate all cars worthy of acknowledgement.

One should never "waive" to a Porsche.

We are not unique. Porsche enthusiasts, Jeep enthusiasts all wave, give thumbs up or piece sign. We can all get along....we have more in common than differences.

The driver probably thinks you were flipping him off.

Saturday night we'd take the c7 out and other vette drivers would waive left and right. It was the oddest thing. Sad really, like we were some trash not worthy of acknowledging
Sorry, I have both.

I get waved at in the C4 a lot more than the C7! A lot of people do not recognize the C7, so they might think you are in another brand. We passed a C8 going to San Diego and I had to get close to see the badging to make sure. Sweet!


OP, BTDTGTT! I have waived at numerous cars, especially Roadsters while driving down PCH past Malibu. I do not know if it is the twisty-turns, the view of the Pacific Ocean, or I am in such a good mood from the fresh air, or just driving a great Roadster!

lol - OP, I offer a wave to any car that I think is cool. Not many wave back and that's okay. There's probably a pretty good story for all of 'em.

If it was an "eat your heart out" wave then all is well

Porsche owners are great. They always like to wave as I go by them at Sebring.

Default License plate frame

OMG. My wife has a Porsche on order, do I HAVE to get the license plate frame for my C7?
OK, it's an SUV (Macan) does that count??

I know I'm throwing myself on the mercy of the forum, but I have to decide what to do to make it up to the Corvette community.
So pick one please.
And yes, I apologize.
Be glad that you did. Why would you want to be elitist or snooty? I'm happy to wave at any sports car. I appreciate any sports car enthusiast. I do like honesty too though.

Agreed. And when I am on one of my motorcycles (sport bikes) I wave at anything on two wheels, even scooters and Harleys.
