Author: When you buy a Jeep you join a special group of people known as Jeepers; with this purchase comes a responsibility to acknowledge and wave to other Jeepers. Failure to wave takes away your Jeeper status and demotes you to the status of a wannabe.
I was convinced the Jeep wave was dead until riding in ours with my husband driving. He gets waves, I don’t and I find it frustrating. Why does he get waves and I don’t? Does the sun bouncing off his bald head make him easier to spot?
Its not the Jeep I drive, I drive a 2 door Rubicon so I drive a “real” Jeep and at first glance wouldn’t be perceived as a four door driving soccer mom. It’s not that my Jeep is hard to miss, its such a bright shade of red they can probably pick it out from the space station.
I don’t understand it but I really hope that the Jeep wave doesn’t die. I’ve always loved knowing there are other nuts out there like me that have a passion for their Jeeps.

It is probably because you are not a guy. We have the same thing in my world, it is called the “motorcycle wave”.. and depending on who you run across there is some discrimination. I wave at all other motorcycle riders, but since I ride a sportbike, many cruisers will just snub me. Sounds like you may be experiencing the same thing in your jeep. Keep on waving though!
