I got a lot of hate when I first got my JK, mostly from jerks. My boss said the color (Rescue Green) looked like baby diarrhea, nice.

Another guy, a coworker, said I made the worst descision ever by buying a 4 door Jeep. (Says the dork who drives a rusty Honda Civic) He says Jeeps have no re-sale value, that they are the Diet Coke with lime of 4X4s.

I like my Jeep, my wife likes it and my dad (who's owned Jeeps in the past, a few CJ-7s and a Wagoneer) thinks it's the best version of the Jeep to date. So that's all that matters to me.

That's a fact, the group I wheel with has a lot of TJ and the stock ones struggle to keep up with my JK.

Funny, the wrangler is one of the highest resell value vehicle in north america...there are used TJ's that are still close to the price of a new 2 dr jk!

Oh I know, when I was first looking for Jeep 10 or so years ago I was amazed that I was seeing USED ones go for around 10-15 grand.

It was pure jealousy on his part, not everyone can enjoy the luxury of driving a Honda like he can.

He was impressed with what my JK could do (me too). The second time I was going out with guys from this forum, I asked if he wanted to go. He said I should go with "my kind". HE SHOULD TALK!

Good ribbin' aside, I wave at every Jeep I see around my town. Mall crawling Saharas are the high percentage of JK non wavers. Of all the other breeds, it is the modified ones who wave back. I have a lot of stock Jeeps around here. I think they mainly come out for winter.

I have parked next to a couple of 4dr JKs as well and looked the owners in the eye as we pass. No head tilt, howdy, or any Jeep love. Maybe they have not heard yet?

or

"its okay, your cool if you wave back"
