Title: Waiving back to fellow Jeepians
Post by: Whiskeymetal on September 08, 2008, 02:49:57 PM
I can remember the first time I drove my Jeep home, I crossed paths with a nother guy in a yellow Jeep and he gave me the official "Jeep waive and nod" I felt like I was part of a sweet clan! So, next time I went out, I waived at a fellow jeeper and got one back... Cool! 8)

Now, How about those guys/gals that don't waive back and instead, shoot a confused WTF are you doing look back my way >:(. Am I out of my mind and think the waive should be expressed to all Jeepers? (except maybe the 08 4DOOR Wranglers) J/k - Or should it be kept calm and not given out?

I usually do if I see one,.. either a nod or a wave

but now I'm in a ZJ temporarily,.. I don't get much acknowledgement

I noticed so many similarities between owning a Jeep and owning a Harley.   ::)

The link to this list gets posted every few years. If you have too much time on your hands here are the jeep waive rules.  ;D

I get lots of waves in the flat fendered TJ but not very many in the new stock Liberty.

I dont get any waves, just get stared at ;D
I can see the look in people faces, they are saying ; "Honey dont drive to close to that thing, it might drive over us"

But I can say that I never have a problem with someone letting me in from a merge lane.

I can't seem to wave at the extend-a-jeeps either. Always wave at the tj, yj, and cj though. Like driving a bug or bike. ;)

I get the 'odd' wave in the yj

I get 0 (zero) waves in the liberty ...

when the willys brakes failed at a 4way stop I waved at everyone  :o

I will wave if the driver makes eye contact and will wave back to anyone who waves first. I find stock jeep drivers are one of two catagories. They either avoid eye contact with a modified jeep driver, or they stare and admire. For those that admire, I wave. My other toy is a 2005 Corvette, and its the same with those drivers as well, some wave and others do not.

All tho I'm not in a Jeep I wave at anyone with a lift, extensive mud, or larger then life tires... with the excepting of the 'city rigs' you know....the people that toss lift kits and massive tires ext. on a bran-new truck and only drive it on pavement....they get the finger.  :)

I believe it is he who has the inferior lift (mods) should be the initiator of the wave.

I'll wave but no one waves back at me since I drive a ZJ.  Waytec can confirm that I do (he's driving down Mcleod Tr and I'm hanging out my window waving like a retard from the gas station).

i think the rules are
1) All cj's , tj's and yj's  with mods  need to wave
2) the stock jeeps or  new jeeps are out  unless they wave first
3) zj's  libertys  and the family carries are out because they are all driven by soccer moms UNLESS they have mod's  they wave
 
i stopped waving to non mod's  becuase of all the WTF looks
