I tend to wave all of the time, IF I notice the vette coming towards me. Sometimes I don't until it has just about passed me in oncoming traffic. And then certainly the other driver never saw the wave as it would only be visible through the windshield. My side glass is very heavily tinted.

Heck, I even have guys in pickup trucks waving to me around here! I guess a lot of people want to have a Corvette, and even if they don't have one now, they still like to show a bit of respect.

But I guess my advice would be to NOT wait for the other guy or gal to wave first. It's not the "gettin'" but the "givin'" that counts the most.

Default Jax Corvette Club Too Old?

I have two Corvettes and have been to a couple of events with the Jax Corvette Club. I don't have a great impression of them since they were all over 60 (probably not, but seemed that way) and had trailer queens. More than anything they weren't very talkative or friendly. When I was telling one of the guys there that I'd just gotten back from a track day at Homestead with Henry Gilbert of Sports Car Driving Experience I got a look liked I'd just turned into an alien. I'm sure a day with Sports Car Driving Experience going all out at the track would push them over the edge.

If you aren't afraid of the edge check out Corvette High Performance Driving School at www.sportscardrivingexperience.com or call 800-768-1014. I have been to Bondurant twice and Spring Mountain once and Henry Gilbert and his team really know how to do it right.

Default Wave or Not to Wave

By the way, I wave at all Corvettes regardless of the car color or sexual orientation.
