Save the Wave

Re: Save the Wave

I wave all the time, but the C5-C6 people just don't get it. Sometimes I will get a response from the C5-C6 group, but it's usually a female! I started doing "the wave" back in 1961, when you always got "the wave". I guess back then it was unusual to see another Corvette, but now they are as common as hens teeth.

And just what is wrong with a wave from a female? You haven't got too old for that, have you?

Re: Save the Wave

One is never too old for a wave from the female sex. It is a refreshing change, but it throws you off, expecting a "Macho" guy to wave in recognition of our "Macho" cars. I would expect a wave from a female in a Mustang, or other "secretaries car".
Terry: you're just jealous!

Re: Save the Wave

My experience is 50/50. All the chrome bumper drivers wave. About half of the C-5s and 6s.

Re: Save the Wave

My experience in NC is about the same as others, C1 - C3 get it and wave, C4-C6 mixed about 50/50.

Doesn't matter to me, I wave to'm all. By the way, I'm a C3 and C5 waver.......

I usually get one when I get the chance to take 'er out.

Pretty cool.

Re: Save the Wave

From my 59,65, and 71, I wave. For the new guys figure it out.
It is about a shared experience. I have a friend with a C5 and he thought he was just beautiful! Go Figure.

Re: Save the Wave

Jerry, long story short. I did a frame off on a '62 in '76. Won my trophies and then became bored with her. For me it was a mistake. I no longer drove it, because of my time and money investment, so I sold it in '83. I missed it so bad I bought another '62 in '86. I was so busy making a living at that time, I knew I couldn't restore it, so it was going to be my retirement project. In 2004, the Dr.s told me the news. This became a project for my "Bucket List". I spent the fall and winter to get her done. I am never going to place it on a trailer, unless it breaks down. I am driving her. Well, when it isn't raining. Now, if someone could turn the rain off in the evenings here in Ohio..........

Re: Save the Wave

Down south (c5 & c6's) in the heat and the windows are closed with a/c blowing we just blink our fog lights. Nice weather we always wave.
