At the very least they could keep one finger free to flick at you to
keep the wave alive. This may work on the Corvette drivers but will
surly fail with the suv/van drivers that have them permanently
attached. The up side is the complainers that target the older drivers
may finally see that it`s not age but preoccupation with something
else that keeps the new drivers from waving. Also to be considered is
how many will buy the automatic so they have their communications hand
free.
And so goes the new age. ;-)

Tom:
I`ve noticed that drivers of C5`s are not as well versed in the "Wave
Etiquette" as earlier vintage `Vette owners.
I can usually guarantee a return wave from anyone driving a C1-3, and a
75% or better return ratio of fellow C4 drivers.
Which leads me to the theory that *most* people who own/drive C5`s are
just plain arrogant, self centered, phony, immature a(at)(at)holes.

Since this is a car blog, I want to post something that I will never forget. And this is Disney Pixar’s “Cars.”
Here are some scenes from “Cars” movie arranged to Rascal Flatt’s “Life is a Highway”.
