by all means though if you wanna wave like we're in some secret club go ahead.
But hey, I'll make it up to all of you and give you my one and only wave, so dont b*tch next time I dont wave cause I just did.

This world has enough negativity in it already...., the jeep wave is a nice thing not gay.... It's special as is driving a jeep.
I'd rather spread a wave then like you see too often in this world someone WAVING a gun.

I got my first jeep (4d) about 3 months ago. I found out about "the wave" by an iPhone app that talks about it and who is suppose to wave to who. It has like lvls and stuff.
Have any of you seen that app?

Secondly, I can understand the world negativity thing, but jesus man, how many guns do you see waving around in Kitchner? lol.. ontario..most I've seen was people bitching as they're txting on there phones.. go figure.
Just keep waving.... It may not do anything for you .... BUT you may have just made another jeepers day.... or made them smile anyways..... alright take care bud....

The amount of "Why don't other Jeeps wave at me?" threads here must be eating up some serious bandwidth. 
I had no idea about "the wave" when I bought mine. But I immediately assumed that since the Wrangler is a rare and specific vehicle that most drivers did so. So I wave. But I see it like this. I have tons of friends and customers who ride Harleys. Obviously, they have their own wave. But I highly doubt that they get upset or feel slighted if they don't get one back. And you never know. Just because someone doesn't wave at you doesn't mean they don't know about the wave. Maybe they had their attention focused on traffic, their radio or phone, or the person who might happen to be with them. They may have never seen you.
Truth be told, who cares? I wave at Wranglers. If they don't wave back, oh well. I have more important things to worry about than if someone else, who I don't even know, waved at me that day.
My $.02...
