Default Horrible, Horrible Mistake...

So yesterday I was cruisin in the unlimited with my girlfriend, when up ahead I saw a highly modded detonator yellow 2 door rubicon driving my way... not only did i nearly crash because I was admiring it so much (I was telling my girlfriend about it), but I totally forgot to wave back!!! and the worst part is, the guy in the Tonka waved at me first and I was admiring it so much that i didn't wave back...

forgive me jeep gods, forgive me...

You must now bow down in front of your JK and ask for forgiveness.
You must also purchase and install a modification for your JK.
After parking your Jk, you are required to kiss the rear bumper of your JK before walking away.

Repeat these steps for 3 months and the Jeep gods will forgive you.

It's okay, you had the typical reaction of a non-Jeep owner. I'm certain that the Tonka owner sees that all of the time. However, it would be good of you to do as JPSquad suggests. And, the next time you see that Tonka owner, pull up to him (even if you must perform cop-attention getting actions to do so), give him a big grin, a wave and a thumbs up. If your GF is with you, she should also smile and wave large. Then, maybe then, he will forgive you. And, in the future, remember the decorum of a Jeep owner: Wave, but don't act like those who don't own Jeeps. It's demeaning to the natural order of things (they are lessor, and need to stare to relieve their lack of excitement while driving to the local dairy store to get a quart of milk in their boring pick-up trucks or vans or station wagons or whatever).

i know exactly how you feel...my dad was driving my jeep and forgot to wave to a highly modded jeep. I was in the passengers seat and had a melt down. I couldnt beleive it. i tried throwing my arm outta the window hoping he would see me wave. It was very embarassing and put a bad name on my jeep...My dad now knows the rules

Well don't worry about it too much, 90% of the people here in my city don't wave back when I wave at them. They just have this blank look on their face, sometimes they don't even notice me at all.

Same here. A Jeeper waving at me first in town is a rare occasion. When I was driving home from Yosemite, every single Jeep I saw waved first except 1-2.
