Exclamation Yes

I Jeep wave 99.9% of the jeeps I see and most do not wave back anymore only the JK people and older wave back, for the most part, it is those dang millennials that do not wave back but younger kids like 16,17, and 18 waves back but the dang 25-year-olds just don't care but if there is that old redneck man you know that he will wave back!

Pretty much millennials like Jeep because of its rugged look especially if they would remove the doors but they just don't know the WAVE. Sad but true..sometimes I look at the driver first before waving.

I just returned from a week in Honolulu. Rented a JK to drive while over there. Not one Jeep driver returned my wave. I think most of them were probably rentals

Default Still alive so far to me

That’s one of the things I love about the Jeep. I would always get a wave. I’d have ppl inside and I’d be like I know him, watch this guy wave at me. Sure enough I’d get a wave and of course wave back. The Jeep community is always helpful and sociable.

It's a mixed bag here in Los Angeles. Most of the wavers are guys. Only one female has ever waved back.
I like the wave. When I rode my motorcycle we riders always waved. If someone doesn't want to, no one's twisting their arm, but I like the community I feel in my jeep.

I loved the wave from fellow jeepers lol
As others have said it’s like a family. I’ve stopped on the road at times to get something from the back or the cooler and had other jeep owners stop and ask if I needed help. It’s a great community that I miss because sadly I sold the jeep and got a wrx which funny enough has the wave as well🤣

Just got mine a few weeks ago and had at least three waves on the way home from the dealer. As a first gen Mini Cooper owner it was a fun surprise cause the early Mini crowd does it too..
