Re: 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????

Re: If I can be so BOLD
I used to own Pontiac Fieros...the last of which was a cherry 1988 GT...and there was a 'Fiero wave' of sorts...I remember it being sort of a nod combined with a slightly uplifted left arm...at the window...
Looking forward to the Jeep Wave...or whatever it is!!!

I've owned a Cj and two Yjs and have always waved. And yes I am a proud British Columbian. I found because the CJ was unique it got the most return waves but I still get over 50% with the Yj. Keep waving and people seem to catch on.

Re: If I can be so BOLD
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!

Re: If I can be so BOLD
I just picked my jeep up today, first day, first jeep, first wave... and I got a response. What more could someone ask for :)
By the way, ive been reading through this forum since the day I ordered the jeep, love it here.
