It is NEVER acceptable to give someone a one finger salute because they didn't
return your wave. Sound like to me you have some issues. Sheesh.

Personally in the city I never initiate a wave, too many possers, stock jeeps
and otherwise clueless people. But if I happen to see a wave I'll return it.

Off road I wave to EVERYONE, 4 wheel drives of any flavor, ATV's, mountain
bikers, hikers, motorcycles, it doesn't matter. I have something in common with
those folks, a love of the outdoors. If they don't wave back, well it's their
problem not mine.

Re: Jeep one fingered salute?
 

Well with a ratio of probably 1:15 TJ owners who wave back and about 10:15
looking at me like I'm an idiot ...what's the point in the "friendliness".
The fact that I never put doors on my Jeep even though it's -20C outside and
the fact that my Jeep is caked in mud more times than not, etc etc etc
indicates I'm well aware of what I drive ...and any real "Jeeper" in a stock
TJ should initiate the wave and I will gladly wave back. I actually can't
think of a time a fellow CJ'r and even most YJ's won't wave back.

That's my stance due to a lot of experience with waving to TJ drivers. By
saying there's a "seniority" ...I'm not being rude, claiming more
"eliteness" than anyone, or trying to say my Jeep is better ...I'm simply
stating that because there ARE so many posers out there, it should be out of
courtesy and friendliness that a TJ driver intitiate a wave so as to
indicate "Hey, we both drive Jeeps! How's it going?!" instead of the usual
"Wtf are you waving at?! You got a problem with me?!"

Re: Jeep one fingered salute?
 

The wave is ONLY about friendship.
Is there any skin off your back for waving and not receiving a nod back?
'grain of salt' my friend....

Throw the hand up and if they wave back...great...if they don't, then their
mommy probably didn't tell them about the wave when they went and bought
their poser kids that 'cool' toy to look 'cool' to their friends.

I used to live in Vancouver, BC....lots of mountains around..and wouldn't
you know it, a lot of Jeeps.
I NEVER got a wave in the city...well, slightly exagerrating...a few waves.
But I waved anyhow....although, maybe with a little less frequency! It was
when I got out of the city that i found more ppl waved back.

I can guarantee that both Jeeper's are watchin each other as they
pass....each waiting for the other to initiate the wave. Crap...since
you're already putting the effort in to staring longingly at the other jeep
waiting for some recognition...just raise your ----in hand and be done with
it! If you get a wave back then you can buy your lottery tickets or pick a
fight with your boss and take your chances...I dunno.
