Jeep Wave or Lack Thereof

[AlphaQ2]

Here in Northern VA it has been happening less and less in the past year or so. When I go out along the trails though it is more frequent, say 9 out of 10 times. When I go down to NC it is hit and miss there a lot. I have noticed most of the younger crowd (college age) it hardly ever happens.

I tend to notice also less waving in the morning and I don't blame them as it is early as hell and if they are as tired as I am.

I wave because it feels right and when the other Jeeper waves back then its cool. If not then no big deal. My wife and kids ask why do I wave since so many don't wave back and I tell them the same thing every time. Just because nobody wants to hold open anymore to be courteous doesn't mean I am going to stop being courteous. I know it is not really the same thing as waving but I think goes along the same lines.

My $0.02..

Legal weed in CO = reduced reaction times. It's simple math.

I ain't hatin' either. I'd blaze it up if I could.

I wave at short bed reg cab 4x4 Rams with Hemi's and they all wave back. Someone want to buy my Ram?

So far in northern suburbs of Atlanta, I get a wave about 90% of the time. I do notice it’s mostly the guys that wave.

Same problem here in East TN. I wave...because I'm supposed to. Rarely do I get one in return. I would say 4 out of 10 times, I get one back. This isn't meant to be a sexist statement, but for me, it's the women that don't wave. Mostly college age looking females. Sorry, but true. Even my wife noticed it without me saying anything. Don't hate, just an observation...

...which sucks because its the college chicks that I want to wave back.

I witnessed this wave in person riding in my co-workers jeep and I knew right then what my next vehicle would be!

I get about 80% waves back in the NYC area, which is a miracle in and of itself considering how unfriendly we NY'ers are!

[joem]

i wave but look straight ahead and ignore any response so as not to judge the other driver as to whether they waved or not

There's a special wave here in middle Tennessee, but it's not vehicle specific and seems to prominently feature one finger...

As soon as my Rubi arrives, I'll be waving!
