I was at a stop sign and a modded LJ was pulling into a shopping center drove past me and he waved at me. I smiled and waved back. I was happy, that was the first time someone else initiated the wave.

 

I've started flipping the bird, it always works and you always get a reply.

 

I remember when I first got my TJ and people were waiving at me, I was like "what the hell are these people waiving at"...

Now in my JK i'd say about 75% return the waive which is pretty good from what i've heard on here...sometimes I catch a Jeep too late and dont have a chance to waive and I feel like a dick...

 

X2.

 

It's not just a Jeep thing. Sports cars are guilty too. When I got my used MG as a kid, ALL the mg's waved at each other. Then I stepped up to an Opel GT and 90% waved. Then I upped the ante with a Datsun 240Z and got a 75% return. Next step was a Nissan 300 and 50% wavers. When I got a 350Z it was almost nothing. Sold the Z, bought the Jeep and find I'm getting a real mixed wave pattern.

I try to wave first but sometimes I'm HUA with the radio or looking elsewhere when I see a Jeep. Not as many as I would expect wave at me first. But it's the thought that counts. Keep waving and keep on trucking..oops. I mean Jeeping.

 

Well, I thought with all these Smiles there would be one waving , but nope. This is the closest I see.

 

wave...wave...wave...

 

All Right! I'm getting excited now!

 

I've been avoiding this thread.....

waving back at yah!

 

You guys crack me up. Being new to the Jeep thing (but knowing about it from friends with Jeeps), I am always waving at other Jeeps. I don't care what designation they are (CJ, TJ YJ, MB, JK, ...). The day I drove my 4-door off the lot, not 1/2 a mile I passed another Jeep. He waved, and I returned. Made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. (Watch it Toad!)

I still wave at every Jeep I see, but I get about 40% back. I like it when you get the doubl wave (husband and wife).
