Nope, I wave at Jeeps from my Jetta sometimes and some of the Jeep owners wave back. Don't mind me...just a retarded Jetta driver wishing I was driving my Jeep! At least I'm not flashing the vee-dub sign.

Anytime someone waves at me from a non-Jeep, I assume they own a Jeep, or owned one previously and regret ever selling it. I return the wave.

When my wife occasionally drives, I usually lower my seat all the way down and all the way back just to recline and relax. Its funny when Mr. Random comes up and says "Hey nice Jeep", and I pop up from nowhere like "Hey thanks man!" I love to see the faces of the butthurt.

1) 95% of the time I'm cranky.
2) I'm from New England - every other driver on the road is my sworn enemy.

I'm usually holding my girls hand or shifting when one comes by. I try to wave but with the drivers in ABQ it's safer to have 1 hand on the wheel hahaha

HAHAHA - I only recently joined the Jeep family, and the first day the wife and I were cruising around, I must have ignored (unintentionally oblivious) a half-dozen Jeep waves. Once my wife pointed it out to me, I figured it out. Now I make a point of waving to everyone with a Jeep emblem. About half the time they wave back, but I'm not going to give up.

Living I'm LA it's just not practical for one they are all over, and I would be focused on avoiding the stunt drivers and getting home in one piece.

I usually wave but when I don't it's because my mind is on 10,000 more important things. Not sure why some get so bent out of shape about the wave thing, when someone doesn't return a wave I just figure they have other things they are concerned with or they are owners that are not aware of the wave thing, which is no big deal, you gotta start somewhere.
