Where did the Jeep wave go?

Back when I had my TJ a decade ago, I got Jeep waves from all swb Jeeps and even some Cherokees. Now with my '08 Rubicon, I don't get so much of a look. Is it just my area or is this some deal where yuppies are buying Jeeps as a "fashion statement" and not understanding the Jeep way of life? Or is it that people are just in their own world and couldn't care less about other folks on the road? Regardless, I miss the Jeep brotherhood I would see on the road. End of rant, thanks for listening, or rather reading...
I love the Jeep Brotherhood/Sisterhood!! I wave at EVERYONE in a wrangler no matter the model! I get kinda upset when they dont wave back 
but yes I do believe that some of the soccer moms out there bought thier JKU's for a fashion statement and just dont understand the Jeep way of life!! It is not a hobby it is a way of life!!!! 
I will wave to you when I pass you!!!!

Its a shame fellow "Jeepers" don't return the wave or understand the concept of the wave. I'm new to the Jeep family (5th month) and I wave to every fellow Wrangler on the roads. I previously had a Toyota Tundra and others in the Toyota truck community were good with the whole wave, and wave back. It just seems like a select population of Jeep owners (Wranglers) won't understand ever. ?

Still Waving
I have to admit, there's not many waves here in Jersey either. Though the ones that do wave, are usually the ones that have probably owned a Jeep for a some time. I still wave no matter what 
I missed my two door so much, I finally traded the Power Wagon in and got another. 
OK, so it took me seven years but hey, I'm back!

Here in south Florida, although there are many, many JKs, I almost a always get a wave back. The ones that don't respond are typically 4 doors with a hard top (did I mention I am in Florida?) and they are talking on the phone . . .

Get about 1 in 4 here in Phx. I just wave obnoxiously now it at least amuses my wife. Had to laugh when my daughter waved at a parked Jeep with no one in it. I remember my Dad teaching me to wave back in the day.
