Im new to the jeep world and i've got to say. There is not one thing in this world more satisfying thank a jeep wave.. It puts a smile on my face everytime i see one!

 

yeah one of the many perks to rockin a Jeep!

 

My nine year old son waves dramatically at every jeep we see. He gets very disappointed when they are so rude as to not respond!

 

Owning a Jeep is like being in an exclusive club. We are all one big community. I think it's neat how we can wave a hand to a complete stranger and think nothing odd of it.

 

Passed three today that either ignored me or looked right at me and refused to wave back. I would opine that they could not plead ignorance because none of them was the newbie that didn't know about the "Jeep wave".

I think I'm going to start keeping a tally of the Jeep "snobs" that refuse to wave -- the type that, by all indications, should know about the wave but refuse to do it because they think they're better, in some way, than whomever they refuse to wave to.

To me, refusing a wave back is almost as bad as failing to return a salute in the military.

 

Passed 4 on the way to school today and went 0 for 4...

 

My wife had to take the Jeep out this morning to run a few errands and she called me pissed as to why some people didn't wave. I had to explain that some are to snobby to wave and others just don't know about it! I told her to just wave at all of em and if they don't wave back just brush it off! I was just proud of her for trying and not being like those soccer moms that don't know anything about a Jeep other than it's a convertible.

 

Its a 50/50 split for me. It seems to be getting better with the waves lately.

 

I live in Hampton Roads area of VA and probably get 10-15% of folks wave back...on a good day. Pretty sad.

 

Sometimes other folks may not see/notice you. Don't be too upset when it doesn't happen!
