Much like anything else these days, there are a fair number of Dodo birds out there now...The Vette wave and the motorcycle wave does seem to be going the way of the Dodo bird...........
You end up with that Ferrari Paul and I will still be waving at you..![]()
ExactlyThere's a couple reasons in my opinion. A large percentage of C8 owners are driving a cheap wannabe Lambo, Ferrari, or McLaren and have no connection to the Corvette comradery tradition. To be fair, that's not all of them and I have garnered a wave from some, but many don't even turn a head. Hell, I flick lights at Corvettes on a 4 lane divided and separated highway and definitely wave whenever I meet a Corvette any closer. The part about the older generation of Corvettes not waving for lots of C8 drivers is an easy answer.... hmmmmm.... Is that a Corvette... A Lambo... a McLaren....a Porsche...Woosh... it has already gone by.... For me, I wave at all of them but to be honest, I never get a wave from any of those other three.... Such is the Corvette tradition... Something that the others will never have...
I use to 'wave' at minivans that drove like that too but am a little more careful these days.... Ya just never know anymore what's under that sunroof....I wave to a lot of drivers these days. I find when I am in the big city now I am waving more often to Dodge/Honda/Toyota mini-vans who go from the outside lane to the exit ramp in a span of less than 100'. I definitely wave at them.
