Default To Wave or not to Wave

Ok, I have been in Jax for a little over a year now and I have noticed a a couple things about the Corvette owners over there.
Very few wave at other Corvettes. Why is that? I have passed Corvettes on two lane streets and I know they saw me waving but they did not. Whats up with that?

I think it's something thats just going by the wayside. Some people think it's silly (unless you know the person) and some people just wont take the time.

Over on another forum this would get 100000000 responses and go 50 pages Well, maybe next to the floormat and wax issues???

Hows this?

I wave every chance I get. Sometimes I feel like some of the new C6 owners aren't waving. It may be there first Vettes and don't know about it. All you can do is educate. I had a motorcycle for a year and I didn't know about the wave until someone told me about it. I made more of an effort after that.

Save the Wave!

I find it hard to wave somtimes when you are busy shifting gears...Especially on my Harley..but I try to wave and don't let it bother me if the other driver does not..

Dark tint in FL hurts it too. I wave if the weathers good and the windows are down, but I don't zip the window down just to wave. Another problem is that in FL, TX, AZ and other dry warm states people own vettes "just because". They aren't all enthusiasts like we are. In colder snowy states where the car has to be stored for 6-7 months out of the year it's enthusiasts that own them.

Just my .02 cents

.Here's one for ya.............

Yeah, I guess you all are right. I am just so damn addicted to my Corvette, it is my first Corvette and certainly not my last. I love every bit of the Corvette lifestyle....sometimes to the annoiance of my wife !!!!!
I know there are some people that just don't know.

Of course wouldn't you know, last night when I was returning to Jax from Pensacola, I was cruising into town headed east on Atlantic Blvd and saw three Vettes and all of em waved!

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.

Little FYI here. Corvettes typically, sell for more when less or fewer options apply.
