I suspect most people on these Forums know the Corvette tradition of waving at another Corvette when met "in the wild" but for any new members who may not, I'll start this thread. So far this year, I'm batting "zero" since NONE of my waves at other Corvettes have been reciprocated and I have to be up to at least a dozen so far. Oddly enough, I had a much better response in prior years.
I wave at any generation Corvette that I see. This morning just before 10 a.m. I was at a red light at 109 Street and Whyte Avenue facing north. On the other side going southbound was another C8 (Rapid Blue) who was also stopped at the front of the line at his red light. When the light turned green, we both went forward and I immediately waved but was totally ignored (sigh).
Now if you were the driver of that C8, I'll buy you a Tim Horton's coffee and a donut to swap Corvette stories; just PM (personal message) me on these Forums and I'll make it so.
My neighbour belongs to the local Corvette Club and he and its other members are well aware of this unwritten rule. I suspect those who aren't with a Club or on any Corvette Forum, may not know. I encourage everyone to spread the word amongst friends who own Corvettes.
And not only for "the wave" but to extend the courtesy of stopping to offer assistance, if another Corvette looks to be in trouble on the road somewhere. That's part of it too.
