Corvette owners will not acknowledge you if you are in a C4. C4's are the ugly step children of the Vette world. LOL I get zero love when I'm in my C4 except from other C4 drivers.

I'm positive its the devil horns........I get it a lot around my area and did it back and I looked it up online and that's what a lot of camaro owners were doing in acknowledgement to other owners.

I thought that I was the only person that waved at other 5th gens because no one would ever wave back but it doesn't hurt to still try lol.

I have not seen that many others out there in my neck of the woods to wave at, but I am going to give it a try.

You are near my neck of the woods (Brunswick) Spocktwin, so I'll be sure to wave if I see you driving by.

"Corvette waves" don't work on Camaro owners. You have to give the secret "Camaro Acknowledgement".

There's the "wave" thing w/ motorcycles. Us older guys really don't care what you ride, it's that you ride that matters... so waves are exchanged. Some RUBS and brand snobs won't wave at other brands, like they're superior in some way or another... whatever.

If someone in a car waves to me, sure I'll return it... but I don't go out of my way to wave to another car.

Lived in Katy Proper... wish I was back home.

No love when I was on my ST1300 or my C14, but my Goldwing was respected.

I always acknowledge other motorcycles when I'm riding my bike with a low left hand peace sign.

I don't wave at strangers in my car because I don't want them getting the wrong idea... They could get the wrong impression that I'm wanting buttsex or something.

I've never waved at anyone in a camaro. Probably wouldn't if someone waves at me too.
