Btw the administrator of this forum owns two highly modded jku's...I'm sure he waves

 

It's odd here in Northern VA (near DC). It seems that mostly people with modified Jeeps wave and a lot of the stockers do not. I just keep waving, they'll get it eventually!

 

It seems that a lot of people just don't get it. I wave at everybody all the time. I too have to remind myself during the day that I'm in my work truck and not the Jeep. I find myself smiling and getting ready to wave and then realize that a Ford doesn't cut it. My 5 year old loves the Jeep Wave and is always craning his neck out the window so he doesn't miss one. On the other hand my buddy recently bought a JK and I don't think he waves at anyone. I've explained it to him many times but who knows. I think for him its just a cool way to get around...sad really.

 

I wave in my JKU, I wave on the harley, only problem is when I wave at bikes while in the JKU or vice versa, then I really get strange looks. If I get a wave back or not no matter, it's their issue not mine.

 

The problem I've been running into with the wave thing is this. When I drove my YJ I would do the wave thing and have tons of people wave back. Since I bought the JK I've had maybe 1 person wave back to me, it's like they are thinking oh this is probably his first Jeep or something or oh that JK is a road queen, I don't get it.

 

These shocked looks that people have when you forget what car you are in and still wave, never made much sense to me. Both my vehicles - the JK and my Evo - have close knit communities who wave at each other. Is it that hard to understand that maybe I am waving to you because I own the same vehicle as you and it has become a habit to wave. Now if you were in a FJ and you waved at a JK or an STi wave at the Evo, I could understand the strange looks because they are the main "rivals". There is one STi that likes to wave at me, heck with that! lol. Oh well. But only 1 out of 10 Wranglers wave at me, the TJs never wave.

 

Thank you for clearing that up my wife would ask me why are those people waving at you , I would just say they are being nice .

Now for the wave to you wave your whole hand like princesse or do you you just put two fingers up or in some cases one finger up

 

f'eh, I wave all the time and get waves back about 75% of the time now. The funniest part, to me, is I get a lot of waves from the drivers of cars that get caught in the 'crossfire' of my wave to the other jeep.

 

or in some cases one finger up[/QUOTE]



you wave like a princess wink you eye and blow em a kiss....thats the jeep wave.

 

I ride a motorcycle a lot, and it is a thing for that too. I find myself waving a lot, sometimes I even do it (out of habit) when I am in a rental car or passenger in a friends car
