If you see her again, I'd wave even more the next time.

I notice that I get the most waves from people like me who have lifted their Jeep and done some mods. It is the stock ones that are 50/50. It seems that some are true Jeep people and know all about the wave and the others don't have a clue.

I've been driving my wife's JK unlimited. Very few waves. When I drive mine, which is built up, I get waves from all types. I used to think Jeeps in boulder county always waved. I was wrong....they only wave to built up jeeps. (Ok more frequently wave at built up jeeps).

My boss is a big jeep person. He bought a 2007 Unlimited when they came out. All it took was one drive, and i was hooked. I bought my 2 door JK in March 2008 (wish it was an unlimited now that we have a little girl joining us) and the first day i went to work with it, i went to lunch with the top down and got the Jeep wave from a nicely built tj at a red light. Told the boss, boss explained the wave. I've been waving ever since. I have noticed that very few females wave back, and some of the built ones will ignore my wave sometimes . F 'em. I'll build it up one day ... Still wave at the stock ones when i do, too.

yeah, some chick jk drivers are such snobs!

funny though, see the thing is over the years i have had my jk, not everyone has waved back, so its almost like now that i don't wave and am totally not ready for it when people do.

but its still the best thing in the world when you get the wave back.

I wave to all and it's usually just me waving. JKs TJs YJs doesnt matter. I do notice that women Jeepers dont ever wave. Except for Libby (who's on the Forum) she waves to all!

As mentioned before. The four door JK attracts an entire different population-aka soccer mom
