If you own a Corvette, then you're part of a large community. Here are some of the proper Corvette etiquette that you need to know when driving around.

1. The Wave If you're driving your Corvette around, don't wave at just anyone, save your waves for other Corvette owners. If someone compliments your car, you may nod, but the waves are to be saved for other Vette owners. The wave is one of the most basic Corvette techniques, and if you don't do it, then you will be perceived as a newbie. >>Join the conversation about Corvette Etiquette right here in the Corvette Forum!

2. The Brief Conversation If the universe puts you in a parking lot near another Corvette, you must have a brief conversation with the other owner. For instance, as the other owner gets out of their Corvette, you can say something like, "nice Z06, I have a Stingray over there." The conversation can be modified, but it has to be about Corvettes, or else you could be perceived as a newbie. >>Join the conversation about Corvette Etiquette right here in the Corvette Forum!

3. Classic Corvettes Most Corvette owners were raised to respect their elders, which is why when they see a classic Corvette, they have to stop and pay their respect. Corvette is one of the most legendary American sports cars, and when you look at the classic ones, you see where the art has come from, and how it evolved into what you're driving today. When you see a classic Corvette, stand in front of it for at least two minutes and appreciate the glory of the original Vettes. >>Join the conversation about Corvette Etiquette right here in the Corvette Forum!

4. Top Down Driving with the top down is a luxury, not all people get to experience, and if you spend this much money on your Corvette, it is only proper etiquette to put the top down whenever the weather is higher than 77 degrees. If you're wondering why this is the etiquette, it's because it is awesome, and if you don't do it, you may be perceived as a newbie. >>Join the conversation about Corvette Etiquette right here in the Corvette Forum!

5. Drag Racing When you drive a Corvette, you will experience a lot of street challenges, like Honda Civics trying to race you, or a Mazda Miata driver trying to show his girlfriend what his car can do, but you are not to race any of them under any circumstances, unless it is a Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro, a Charger with a Hellcat engine, or any car of that caliber. The Corvette has a certain prestige, and just like you shouldn't expect Lebron James to throw the ball around your local gym, your Corvette shouldn't play with just any car. >>Join the conversation about Corvette Etiquette right here in the Corvette Forum!
