RE: Waving is for Corvettes... even then it's rare.

I used to wave at every SLK I saw and only had one driver wave back - a young oriental guy with an oriental passenger. I have noticed the following general pattern of people who openly show an interest in the car while I'm driving (most eager to most put off)

1. young black women
2. young other women
3. black men
4. white men over 40
5. young men driving 'normal' cars

The young white men in cameros, etc. look away, ESPECIALLY if their gal looks my way.

My wife's list is almost completely backwards of mine!
