C4`s do seem to be the last of the consistent "wavers".
I always get a wave from other Vette Owners C4 and down.
But mine isn`t a stock appearing C4 (lowered, open billet wheels, 12in
wide & 315`s rears
and detailed brakes) and they just might be looking at the car for the
car itself.
Or just looking at the handsome, talented driver........ LOLOLOL

The last thing that I was envious about was a fellow and his wife I
met that was still driving the Pennant blue 1955 Corvette that he and
his new bride bought new to go on their Honeymoon. They had just
returned from a plant tour and NCM to attend a parade in their home
town of Marshall Mi. on Memorial Day. A grueling 1,000 mile trip for
them I`m sure at the age of 74 that they took 2 weeks to complete.
They were excited about their trip and were dressed in their wedding
clothes. Neat people to talk with and they shared their life`s
adventure easily and with pride. People like that make enduring the
jerks a bit easier.
If in another 7 years I can do anything close to that I`ll not even
envy that.

I think the `wave` is in better shape than the Porsche hi-beam `flick.`
Over 90% of my waves are returned from any Corvette. Car vintage seems
to not be a factor. The failures seem to be more age (sub-GenX) related
regardless of car vintage. I think the marque is alive and well and the
youngsters will mature and gain `wave responsibility.` Some of our
youngsters may be regarding their `vette as just a material status symbol.
I recently drove a friend`s Cayenne for a couple of days and `flicked`
several 911s and 944s.. Got no returns. Perhaps, those folk might not
feel that the Cayenne is a legitimate member of the marque. DRLs may
also be a factor there.
Gotta hit the road and get to work as the sun now approacheth the yardarm.
