Default figured out why I am not getting the wave

I finally figured out why I have not been getting the wave. It turns out I have been getting them, I have been just too busy admiring the beauty of the jk and not paying any attention to the driver, I barely caught a hand in the air the other day out of the corner of my eye as a jeep was pulling onto the road, I waved back but i think i was too late for them to see. So if you wave and the other person does not wave back, they just might be admiring your jeep and not paying you any attention.

I started the flash of headlights, and that seems to work 90+% of the time. Maybe cheating a little, but it's better than waiving at no one lol

I've been guilty of staring at the mods on a Jeep and missed a wave or was too late

I wave at every Jeep I see for the most part. Even if I'm admiring I get an arm out the side to wave.

I know it has been covered a million times, but rarely if ever does a fellow JKer wave back. I see a lot of people here who say they wave, but the longer I have this jeep, the more I notice.

Even if you are a family person and bought it for nothing more than hauling the kids around, shoot us a wave. Seriously, you never know when you may need something from the community, and if you piss them off you may never get what you need.

I understand completely, thats why I felt bad whenever I noticed the other driver had waved and I completely missed it. I will do a better job from now on. AND WAVE LIKE CRAZY.

Works out just fine in my manual. But i will say it took a few times. The other person needs to keep a hand on the shifter to hold it in place.
