Do you wave at other Corvettes as you pass them on the road?

Click here to learn about the history of the wave and the "rules" that apply...

Always wave, always have. I’ve noticed as more and more C8’s show up about 50% of them do not wave/return waves. I suspect there are a disproportionate number of 1st time Vette owners (compared to first year of C4, C5, C6, & 7) among them. Would be very curious to see the proportion, if known. 

I suspect in their defense many of them simply don’t recognize the earlier versions - especially 4’s.

Have been waving since I got my 1st Corvette(78 Silver Anni) in 1993. Even when Im not in my Vette, I wave as I do to Bikes on the road, have been doing that since my Dad taught me to wave when I got my 1st road bike in 1981.

Well, what to make of this :

 

Passed a Corvette, waved, no return wave

As I passed a Porche - they waved

🤷‍♂️

I'd say the Porsche is a daily driver and that there's a MUCH nicer Corvette back in the garage for special occasions...!!!   🤣

I've only had mine for 3 months and I took it out on Sunday. Passed a C5 coming the other way and he waved. Had I known about it I would have waved back. I will in the future.

Regards,

Chuck Dugan

'92 Dark Red Metallic convertible.
