Default Wave!!!

I'm out for a ride. I have passed 3 Jeeps with 0 waves. This is BS!! Aren't there any dieharders left? I am irritated if you couldn't tell.

I blame Vacationland. Assume they're all renters and they have no clue. Happened to me down on Nantucket. I got maybe a 20% return on my wave investment, but don't give up!

Jesus, can we get a single, stickied "Wave Thread"?

I never have a problem with people waving. If they see me, and a hand is free, I get a wave. If I'm on a highway, and see someone across the median, I don't bother, and they don't bother. I'll admit, I don't wave at every single one. Mostly, it's because I don't notice them quick enough, or I can tell they're not looking in my direction. Not gonna wave like an idiot at every single Jeep, and I don't expect everyone else to wave at me 100% of the time either.

With the good weather, I will roll the window down and throw a deliberate "Jeep Wave", this almost forces a return wave and educates them in the process.

I was able to take a little vacation down at Rock Port Texas to do some fishing with my daughter and rolled down the beach at Port Aransas and there was Jeeps all over the place. Even the Modded Jeeps didnt return a wave. Maby got a 10% wave response but I think it was cause I initiated the wave I think its the younger generation kids that dont wave it seems to me. When I was in Maryland I got waves all day long even from the "moms"

i try to think why they dont wave and there are a few reasons
1. theyre dumb
2. theyre not paying attention
3. theyre new jeep owners and are wondering why some stranger just waved at them
theyll figure it out

I get a good amount here in Maryland. I do get more CJs, YJs and TJs than JKs however. Maybe because they are new to Jeeps and don't know. My buddy told me about it. I got my first wave on my test drive!!
