What kind of Jeep waver are you?
#1
Just curious b/c of the Jeep wave talk stuff in the other poll, what kind of Jeep waver are you? Include the situation or type of Jeep if applicable.

When I have the privelidge of driving one of our fine Jeep specimens, I love the wave (I miss it when I'm in the Xterra). I swear I want to flip a U and bslap the non-wavers so badly. Or maybe we could make a rule where we were lawfully able to, like a citizen's arrests w/ drunk drivers, just take their Jeep keys away from them.

Okay, anyway, I'm an out-the-door waver for sure. If it's a stocker that I know is clueless, I might restrain myself until the last minute, but I always at least steering wheel wave in hopes that they might learn the way.
But the out the door is the best. The arm swing, wrist action, 3 or more finger splay.
Once I even got a salute wave which was pretty cool.

I also try to get the wave up first on a larger more modified Jeeper.

When I first started the modifications on my Jeep I was really excited about the "its a Jeep thing" wave and was an arm out, lean out, stand up kinda guy. But, since that time and due to my heritage (Itilan) I have what people call a little bit of a temper and the non wavers really pi$$ me off. I fugured why in the heck would I risk my life to hang all the way out of my moving vehicle with no doors if they dont even recognize or at leat acknowledge my efforts.

Now I am a little more relaxed and just stick with the 3 finger steering wheel wave. I will change it up a little depending on the approaching Jeep and its modifications. If he/she is taking advantage of the Arizona summer and sporting their 7 slot with no doors in this heat, the are worthy of the arm out the window and the 3 finger splay.

I am just the steering wheel spririt fingers person. I guess I just do the 'simple' wave' cause I am afraid the other Jeep won't wave back. I do love it when I get an 'out the door' wave though. I feel soooo special. :lol: When my Jeep was stock, I loved it when the grown up Jeeps waved to me. I still felt included.
