Default Hole lotta wavin' going on

Here in Lakeland, FL I get waves and return waves from about 80% of Jeepers.

I always wave to other Jeepers, even when I'm driving my company Ford POS-cape.

We rented a Jeep back in June, for our vacation in Madeira Beach and Tampa. We got a lot of waves back. Not too many folks waved first, though.

Ive noticed the same thing around Ft. Walton, sad to see a bunch of fans of the wranglers and not get a wave between the two. Throwin peace signs everywhere i go, even if your several lanes over I'm gonna get ya!

I throw a wave or peace sign to every set of round headlights and slotted grille I see, regardless of flavor - get a reply about 1 out of 5 times, and don't think I've ever gotten one from anything except a wrangler.

Ah well, I'll keep throwing them and be content to catch the few that I get back. I'd like to think that there's a chance that everyone who realizes just a little too late why they just got a wave from a stranger might be inclined to wave to the next Jeep they see.

It's the same problem in the Pacific Northwest.... I get the wave back less than 25% of the time...
