When I bought my JEEP I thought that jeepers were snobby!!! Lately though it seems that when I cross paths with another jeeper I get a wave and I wave back!!! Must be the hot weather! Everyone is finally happy now that winter is gone. I've even got a few waves from jeeper chicks!!!

We dont wave, it's more of the two finger over the steering wheel thing!!!

Not sure I even wanted a wave back from this thing. It's just so wrong in so many ways.

I think the big problem is now that they offer a 4 door, a lot of people who would never be in the market for a Jeep bought one (think soccer moms/dads, people that drove crossovers, etc.). They are just uninformed. I think that's why the JKUs get the hate they do.

Having had a CJ, several TJs and a lifted ZJ, I knew when I picked mine up. Always wave, even if you don't get one back.

You all might get more waves if you spent less time in the pottery barn and banana republic parking lots. Endless supply of waves at the beach and near the trails.

Yep...stems from driving rural roads while in the patch. If you pass by a local coming the other way, up go the two fingers as a gesture of hello!!

I have gotten waves from most Wranglers 2 or 4 doors as far as Toronto 2 days ago. The wave seems all over.
