I dont wave at the soccer moms they allways look at me weird. I pretty much only wave at moded jeeps they seem to be the only ones that understand. its really kinda a shame.

I am laughing so hard bc I wave all the time and never get anything back. My non-wrangler friends think I am crazy. I also agree it is mostly the modified wranglers that wave back BUT in my defense, I haven't done anything to mine YET...just waiting to win the lotto. So don't stop waving at us!

Keep waving at those soccer moms and you might get lucky....wait are you in your toaster when you wave. See now there lies the problem.

I wave regardless, in fact I love the weird looks!!!

I usually wave but You can count on one hand how many waves i've gotten back. After a while you start to feel like someone sitting in front of a slot machine for hours and winning nothing. Why bother?...... Then I get a wave and it is all good again.

I moved here from the Detroit area in November... In the metro Detroit area you might not get the wave from about 2% Here in SoCal... I'll bet I get a wave from about 2%... if that.

It blows me away that the Jeep wave is dead here! I throw up the duece everytime and rarely get it back... and in six months I've never had the wave thrown up to me first!

I'm glad you made this post.

(from a fellow midwesterner)... the world is very different out here... and not always in a good way.

I wave a lot of times but I am finding an increasing number of JK drivers don't wave. More so with the 4 door crowd. A lot of the times it's the TJ's and YJ's that wave back...it may have something to with the lack of a top most of the time and it being dirty all the time.
