I love this!
I completely agree with it though. I bought my first jeep in April of last year. While i was finalizing the paperwork the business manager started telling me about the jeep community and educated me on the jeep wave.

I'll return a wave from anyone and everyone, but I've learned that it's a waste of time to wave to most stock 4 doors, so therefore, I cut them out. You can think I'm a dick all you want, but that's not going to change a thing.

So how about you just wave and don't look at them , instead of passing judgement on someone or their vehicle

With your comment like that you should not even waste your precious time waving at anyone at all

Right there is the problem with the wave , not 2dr or 4dr or soccer moms

Well even though my stock JKU isn't near as cool as any other jeep on the planet I'll be sure to wave of you're ever in my neck of the woods! Won't be hard to notice your rig being that it looks almost identical to my old ride... It's a shame I get lumped into a big group of "non worthy" people because I have 3 boys I am trying to bring up in the jeep community.

Well, I don't wave to ALL Jeeps, because I don't want to. Free will is a hell of a thing. Also, you seem to be passing quite a bit of judgement yourself. Glass houses and all...

And I'd gladly wave back.

I was out shoveling the drive way and saw a Jeep go by and instantly threw out a wave. After it passed I realized wtf am I doing!

I learned long ago to wave at the Jeep and not the driver. That way, if I don't get a wave back I'm not butt-hurt, and if I do get a wave back, it's a bonus.
