Default If I can be so BOLD

I pass lots,and lots and lots of Jeeps...all day, every day.....NO WAVE...notoriously these Jeeps are driven by females, I am one....I will go out of my way to make sure I WAVE....and the guys with the "lifts and big tires" they dont WAVE....cause I dont have the lifts and tires, makes them better than I?????

Not a good feeling....but I natter away, my husband has a 2007 C6 Corvette, with the noisy headers and Corsa exhaust...one of my co-wokers just bought a 2011 Mustang...5.0short shift....so in no way am I afraid of cars....they are "afraid of Jeeps"

I would not trade either of them for my Jeep....dunno people its just a feeling when I get in that truck, no matter where/when/how/why....its a Jeep....and I respect that, and I respect all the funny looks..."a MOM driving a Jeep, Jeep...."guess thats why the guys have their Corvettes, Mustangs, Cadillacs???

Its just a feeling, like Im in my element????????????? I was not born to drive a Corvette, we have had this car for two years I have not driven it??? Its a damn car thats why and I dont like it, my husband choses my Jeep all the time (doesnt wanna mile out the other car) but can he shift............NOPE....I'll need a new tranny/clutch if I let him drive it any more...........how do you miss 3rd gear????

Its a truck....3rd gear is always where it should be.....and I had an old Nova,,,3 in the tree????

Happy Trails

P.S. Looking for a Canadian site to buy die cast????

The JEEP wave has been a problem here to...quebec.....I cannot get those jk guys/gals to wave so I don't bother anymore. I wave at something lifted (like mine) also as many yj's/tj's and cj's I see no matter - or I might get pulled over again by a local cop asking me if my arm is broken..lol ...hes got an old cj..
You might want to send hubby to a driving school that ott to go over well...lol

Don't be discouraged...keep waving! 95% of the Jeep drivers I meet wave. I get waves from JK's, T, Y & CJ's. Maybe there's something in the air in Hamilton...just kidding.
What kind of die cast are you looking for?

The wave used to be a must. Back in the late 70's early 80's. Used to drive days and not see another CJ. New group of people more concerned about themselves or other stuff I guess now, not to mention there are a lot of jeeps on the road today. Most are oblivious to surroundings, but keep waving, surly some will get the wave thing. g'luck

The wave really seems to be on the decline since there are so many people buying the like they are a Corolla.
Was thinking of getting a sticker that says "Wave or I'll burn your house down" but people might think that's a little to anti-social...

I hear you...I try to wave to all Jeeps, most either are not looking or kind of get this surprised look like "do i know her????!"
When we went on a trip to Muskoka all through northern Ontario jeepers were great waving (about 95% waved back) Only to get back home to Manitoba to the unfriendly it seems
I still keep waving, hoping more will start waving or get back to waving again

I guess I'm having so much fun driv'in my jeep I can't help but smile and wave!

Thanks everyone....you made my day !!!!

Looking for a diecast Jeep of course....doesnt really matter what year. I had ordered one from a US site but when I found out the shipping was $30.00, for a $20.00 purchase I cancelled it. Ive checked everywhere Walmart, Zellers even our one hobby shop here in Hamilton, they only had army ones.....so if anyone knows a good Canadian supplier send it along please.

Thanks...and keep on Wavin !!!!

As for driving school for my hubby Mr. White....he's already been to the racing school in Shannonville....so not sure it would help. I think as the Vette has that little short shifter, that you can look at and it seems to shift....as you well know a truck requires a real shift !!!! LOL

We live in the same region...waves are really good one day, then not so the next....keep the spirt alive, keep the faith and keep on waving....I'm bone stock, and wave every time!!! Unless I got side tracked or honeslty mised out...THAT in it self always bums me out.

Up to all of us that GET the WAVE and KNOW that WAVE to teach those who may not get it yet.

Jeep wave back to ya!
