The Jeep Wave

WARNING! Owning, registering, insuring, or driving a Jeep implies knowledge of and intent to abide by the following rules, regulations, and guidelines. Failure to obey the letter or spirit of the rules may result in your being ignored by other Jeep owners as you sit along the side of the road next to your stalled vehicle in a blizzard surrounded by Saturns, Yugos, and Hyundais.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Definition:
"The Jeep Wave: An honor bestowed upon those
drivers with the superior intelligence, taste, class,
and discomfort tolerance to own the ultimate
vehicle - the Jeep. Generally consists of vigorous
side-to-side motion of one or both hands, but may
be modified to suit circumstances and locally
accepted etiquette."

•Category E: YJ
•Category F: TJ

General Rules:

1. Members of any category of the JWH must

initiate wave to drivers of all equal or higher
categories, and continue the wave until:
a. The wave is returned
b. The wave is blatantly disregarded
c. The higher category vehicle has

passed by and is out of sight


2. Members of any category of the JWH are required

to return the wave to drivers of vehicles of equal
categories.


3. Members of any category of the JWH

are encouraged, but not required, to
return the wave to drivers of vehicles
from lower categories.


4. When unsure of status or wave requirements

of a particular encounter, immediately initiate
wave.

I normally always get waves from older jeeps (CJs and YJs, and most all TJs) but the new JKs rarely wave back!

Do XJs wave at Wranglers? I can only recall once.

I think the wave is cool

I always wave at JEEPs.

He's blue!!!!!!!

hey, i wave...lol



but, i almost never get waved back at in the XJ.


but anytime im driving around a CJ/YJ/TJ/JK on a test drive i get TONS of waves.....

That's why I only wave with one finger up! LOL

We should make a device that waves a hand at incoming jeeps. Or maybe just program it to wave at what ever you choose... Like chicks!

I think we maybe on to something

Fixed it.

While you're fixing stuff , why is my "latest post" freezing up?

I dont know I do not have that issue.

MudRaider wrote:JK, that's the 4door ones right? Those people don't have a clue generally. A few do, understanding they have a jeep, but a lot are just soccer mom's and mall crawlers.

lol doesn't matter just wave

Or just lay on the horn.. & then wave!

Ay night I flash my flood lights. I wave at any Jeep, its up to them to wave back. Most wranglers with ladies driving them never wave. I guess some random Guy waving at them freaks 'em out. Everyone CJ, yj, tj, jk, xj, zj, KJ, lj, all wave at the WJ

Jeep not only better than walking but has its own sub-culture. The people not waving back they dont understand the sub-culture part.
