Total BS.
I'm not a woman, but I'm 72. Damn cute, too and I wave at most all Jeeps. Sometimes the demands of traffic prevents waving. And right on --- No one has ever waved in return. Still --- I will wave.
Thanks all -- Randy K4LJA

I dunno.... I'm a car guy, always have been and for some reason I'm cursed with being able to see cars and know their year make and model for a mile away, and at night I can tell just by looking at the lights.... It's a curse, but I ALWAYS see jeeps and ALWAYS wave, even on the hiway.... 90% of the time I don't get a wave back... It's annoying and frustrating but I'll keep waving cause its fun!

The wave is for you as much as it is for them.

A gift is not a gift if something is expected in return.

Unhappiness is created when expectations are not met. Lose the expectations.

I always wave when I see/notice a jeep. My daughter just got her first jeep a 97 tj. I don't know if I should have her waiving at some people she doesn't know though. Someone might take it the wrong way. Thinking. You would hope a true jeeper would never be one of those type of people to hurt another. But you never know.

I had a motorcycle until I bought my Jeep, so acknowledging another biker was always the norm. My dealer never mentioned the wave when my wife and I picked up the Jeep. On the way home we got 3 or 4 waves and after each one, we just looked at each other with this perplexed look, wondering if we knew them not even realizing that they were in Jeeps. That evening we stopped at a buddies place and he is a Jeeper. We mentioned that we bought a Jeep and the first thing he says to us is "You know about the wave, right!!" Needless to say, we busted up laughing!! We wave all the time and fortunately we get quite a bit of waves back.

We were down in LBI for 4 days and my wife was getting pissed because nobody waved back. I had my had in their face and they would have the same look we had when we bought the Jeep. By the 4th day, we got a few waves back from the same ones that we would see daily. They were starting to get it

Don't give up!!

Default Wave?

Saw 6-JK's 1-TJ and 1-Old CJ all on a two-lane the other day. Waved at all of them and not one returned! Coloradans apparently aren't in the waving mood. That is except for the CJ driver - think he was so old he couldn't see me. I will continue to wave though.
