I'll still wave at ya.Coming from a motorcycle street/race track background and having owned both cruisers and sport bikes I understand the wave there. Even between cruisers and sport bikes there's a stigma between the two that you don't acknowledge each other especially if you're "hardcore".
Knowing I was going to buy a Wrangler I knew about the wave in my late teens. I rode with a buddy back in the 90's and he got super pissed when an elderly lady driving a Wrangler didn't wave and went on a 10min rant. Now that I've had my Wrangler for about two years I've accidentally waved at a few people since it was muscle memory from the motorcycles but I noticed even with Wranglers there's a stigma. You don't wave to ANY Jeep only Wranglers. Using a buddy as an example, he doesn't wave at any Wranglers that appear stock even though his has a bunch of zip tied and rusted free shit on it.
I just don't get it. The motorcycle wave was shared because you're basically acknowledging the inherent dangers or consequences of riding motorcycles and ultimately it's an unspoken bond even between bikers who don't know each other but a fucking Wrangler? High risk of roll over yes but that's nothing to wave about, hell I live in Colorado and I can't spend more than 5 seconds on the road without seeing a Wrangler. Might as well put a fake hand on the driver's mirror.
I refuse to give in and I can't be the only one! Out on the trail I'll wave all day regardless of the vehicle because we are both sharing the same experience but driving to Lowes I just don't care. I can't be the only one right?
Oh cool. Another wave thread.
I have a Vette, Raptor and 2 Jeeps, all groups wave and I always wave back. On Jeeps, I only wave at Wranglers (as it should be), but if any Jeep owner waves, I always wave back.
Shoot, in my neighborhood, everyone waves at all cars, so who cares, wave if you want, don't wave if you don't. Don't get bent out of shape if people don't wave back. In Houston, Jeepers seldom wave, in Nashville, they almost always wave.
You think you guys have it bad... no one waves to ZJs whatsoever, lifted or not, 9er or not. Red headed stepchildren of the Jeep fam.
Haha, when I am driving the soon to be wife's "Hybrid" she makes fun of me because I always look at the other Jeeps like I am going to wave but I cant...:doh:
Every time I'm in a different car I want to wave at Jeeps I see... most of the time I don't
