I do love the wave. I've always driven odd enthusiast cars and have been waving and being waved back for years.

Land Rover Defenders and older Land Rovers (not fancy SUV Rovers), MINI Coopers, and Jeeps all have a good tradition of waves.

I've never received a wave. Initially I was waving at everyone I saw, but I found that 9/10 JK drivers weren't even looking my way, and the 1/10 I would see looking was a soccer mom thinking I was hittin on her
I quit waving after all it did was make me look like a tool. Once I have my mods, I'll wave to other "real Jeepers"

We're not really known as "friendly Alberta" so I'm not surprised this is where the Jeep wave comes to die.

I probably waved 20+ times, and got one back ...... from a lifted Liberty.

I get a few people to wave back, but not many. Last week I was dreaming of being 23 and single again. This HOT blond honey was driving a yellow unlimited with the doors off. She passed me up but slowed back down and hung ½ ways out of the Jeep to give me the wave and a
Ahhhhhh good times…

Everyone waves around here on the back roads. It kind of gets old if you drive all day for work having to wave back at every person you pass. But when I drive the Jeep I feel completely different.
