Actually, I don't give a flying f..k whether you wave or not... man, what an attitude!

Everybody has their windows tinted so dark these days I can't even see the driver much less see a wave.

Many don’t wave, signal whatever you want to call it. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. With the majority tinted you won’t see the signal anyway.
Relax and drive your car

Lol, I’m in my 40’s…hardly “old timer” status, but whatever. Thanks for clarifying, I thought I might have overreached by suggesting you behave like a d-bag…clearly I did not.

It’s not your fault though. Predictable reaction from a generation that never got their feelings hurt growing up because there were no “winners & losers” and everyone got trophies just for showing up and trying REAL hard.

If anyones getting their panties in a bunch, it’s you.

You sound like a really angry person, and this forum just seems to be aggravating that. You might be happier somewhere else.

If someone waves to me, I wave back. Doesn't matter whether I'm walking, biking, driving or boating.

If someone waves to me, I wave back. Doesn't matter whether I'm walking, biking, driving or boating. Just yesterday a fellow boater waved to me. I waved back. He kept waving though. Turns out I had snagged a lobster buoy and was starting to drag the trap. I wondered why the steering got so stiff all of the sudden...🚤

Not real sure why there is such hostility for old timers that have a tradition they are still using. I've Benn 'waving' since the mid sixties, and frankly don't care if I get a return wave.

While you’re in one, always wave at a fellow Corvette owner, regardless of generation or if they wave back. Sometimes I don’t see the other waving until after we pass (because hey, traffic) but it’s a d-bag move not to because “it’s just a car.”

My teenage kids still enjoy helping me spotting and waving at other Corvettes. Still puts a smile on our face.

Don't look.

It’s top shelf meme lingo of the past decade. Everyone in this thread telling the poor guy “get with the program” while not being with the times.




btw I’m the weirdo that puts my entire arm out the top to wave when I have the targa off.
