First, :welcome:aboard.

I've noticed over the years that people are less and less motivated to wave anymore:nonod:

Not really sure why though?

If it's as nice there as it is here, it was a beautiful day for a drive:dancer01:

Why not come on up in March and join us at the BBQ/corvetteflorida get together

Heck, we'll wave at ya!:wavey:
 
I think it's more a case of not everyone is scanning ahead at oncoming traffic for other vettes. So they just may not see you. Heck sometimes I'm just zoned out enjoying the drive and don't see another oncoming vette until it just passed me. Connie waves at vettes no matter what we are driving at the time. I tell her that they just are NOT looking at pickup trucks and vans, so they certainly are not going to see her waving. Heck, one day I passed her in her truck and didn't notice her waving at me neither..... I got out of that one by telling her I don't typically drive down the road looking for pretty girls in pickup trucks to be waving at me...... :hehehe:
 
I use to wave like I should and no one waved back hardly ever .So now I give the middle finger .Guess what? They give me the finger back :D
 
Maybe just some folks aren't familiar with the tradition..hey, I even wave at Corvettes when I'm driving my cop car...get some funny looks too.:confused:
 
Flash to pass

For you C-5 and C-6 owners it's easy!!! Make sure your fog light switch is in the "on" position and when you pull your headlight stalk toward you the fogs will flash. When I see a Vette coming I hit the "flash to pass" feature and that seems to get their attention. Hardly ever miss a wave now!!! :wavey:

:dancer01:One more thing I didn't know about!:dancer01:
I LOVE this place for all of the good information (as well as all of the good people) that you can find here. :yesnod:
Thanks for the tip! :thumbsup:

I wave anyway. I was in Boynton Beach on Saturday and upon waving, the guy just looked at me like I was some kind of nut. I think upon becoming a vette owner, a person should be required to take a course in etiquette. Just a thought!

I'll have to get used to that fog light thing...thanks for the info.

First, :welcome: to the Gang. I wave and see about 2 out of 3 return the wave. Like Rich Z said, sometimes folks are just zoned out on other things.
Come to the BBQ and I'll wave at ya until my arm falls off. :thumbsup:

Rich has got it right on the head plus you have to add in the HUA factor that seems so prevalent anymore .

My thoughts exactly!! :thumbsup:
 
I wish I had some Vette's to wave to. Whenever I drive the Vette, all I see is Zs. When I drive the Z, all I see is Vette's. :shrug01:
