Just curious, why do you think you get the bird?

cause I'm in NJ, close to NYC, and we all know that "NEWYORKERS", aren't the nicest people. I try to race alot of people too.....so, that could be a factor as well

I would say I get the wave returned about 60%-70% of the time. No matter if they wave or not I always throw a wave out there. I figure if those who don't wave are waved at enough it might just catch on to them.

It's odd. I've only had mine for a couple of weeks. But I haven't seen a single wave from another Vette. I'v had them sitting right beside me and looking the car up and down. But not even acknowledging I'm in the car.

I've had a couple of nods, and even short conversations going down the road with a few Mustangs, mostly new ones. And there was always a wave from fellow bikers when I had my Ninja.

Maybe it's just this neck of the woods here in S.W.Florida.

I would say I get the conversations more than the waves from people at stop lights and driving slowly down the road, it always ends up with people wanting me to drop the hammer so they can see what my car can do lol.

I get lots of waves, too....of course I reciprocate. I get countless compliments on her, too....from kids, teens, my age, and older than me.....it's pretty cool.

I'm not sure what's going on but lately I get nothing when I wave at C4 and C3 owners....what's going on with that? Do they not feel like part of our group?

I think the corvette wave is awesome and adds to the enjoyment of driving. Being a nice day I saw lots of vettes today and was waiving furiously - lol. The coolest wave I have had wascatching up another vette on the freeway. I looked across and waved, the guyhad a huge smile on his face (obviously as he was driving a vette) and waived back.
I actually think it makes you more observant as well as I am always looking for vettes I am not that familiar with. [sm=happy046.gif]

well here in central california the wave is active...even from the C3 & C4 owners! my car has been in the shop for about a week now because a lady at the stop light decided to go before the light turned green...pushed me about 6 feet into the intersection (good thing there was no cross traffic)! anyway i'm in this huge ugly truck-like 300M rental car and now all the vette owners are out driving! i'm waving like crazy to no avail! i dont blame them though...i wouldn't give this car the slightest glance either...but i do say that those who saw me wave probably figured i had a vette to so they waved back!
