No, wasn't us. The C6 hasn't been out of the car cover since Connie got back from Delaware last week. Been taking out the C5Z when we go for a ride.....

To me, someone who "owns a Corvette" but is not a Corvette person, probably owns one Corvette and they want the world to "...look at what I have".
A Corvette person lives with their Corvette; wants to own as many as they can; and wants to look, ooh and aah over what everyone else has. There are soooo many Corvettes that have been purchased, modified, restored, etc., since 1953 that a Corvette person just wants to take it all in. I have been fortunate enough to acquire a stable of 3 Corvettes, my '69 big block convertible, '01 6 speed vert, and '04 Z06 Commemorative Edition! You would think this would be enough to satisfy my thirst for Corvettes.  Everytime I see a mid-year Grand Sport I have to stop what I am doing and go salivate all over it! And for that matter, I salivate over any other Corvette that is not mine!
Am I sick?  ...I don't think so! But I at every Corvette I see (at my age I am not sure I see them all anymore) because I know they are just like me. And I am disappointed  when they prove me wrong.
Corvette people love to and be at. If you don't get a back, remember they are either getting too old to see you, or they are not Corvette people and should be driving something inspiring and exciting like a Saab!

"Blip" 'em
I know I've probably posted this before but when I see a Vette coming toward me, I blip the fogs. Just pull your signal lever like you are turning on your hi-beams. The fogs will flash. Gets 'em everytime. If they are along side me and won't look, I honk. When I'm driving my C-4, I pull out the parking lights with the fogs on a few times; same response as my C-5

Not everyone waves
I wouldn't get too offended if someone doesn't wave ... they just may not get it.
I have owned and/ or driven in lots of different vehicles and honestly can't remember another vehicle that waves (there was the time someone waved their middle finger but that's another post) ... it seems to be exclusively a corvette thing.
When I first owned mine I wondered why people were waving ... my first trip was across the country, Wisconsin to Florida (had to bring it home). I thought it was kind of "funny" but I caught on quickly and now I'm a waver!
Oh, and just need to add that not everyone who owns only one corvette and/or doesn't belong to a club doesn't get it ... we get it ... we like our cars but our cars are not our lives. Maybe we're new in town, too busy, or not into the club thing. Maybe one car is all we need.
I am happily a one vette owner who doesn't identify herself with the year, model, etc of my car ... my car is not a status symbol and I don't think I am better than anyone else because of what I drive ... it's a fun perk that I worked for and enjoy ... that's it, nothing more nothing less.
I promise I'll wave, that is, if I'm not distracted by the phone, radio, cute guy in the car next to me or ...

Actually when I had my Jeep Wrangler and drove it, just about everyone (except maybe some clueless college kid whose parents bought it for him) also driving a Jeep would wave.
