Maybe it's where I live, but the JK owners don't wave to me. It is me? Should I check my armpits for smell?

There is a thread about this in the general discussion.
...I will agree with you that A LOT of JK owners don't wave seeing that a lot of soccer moms & business men are too busy talking on the phone. But don't let it get you down. Just wave and hopefully they'll catch on. . . .

I have noticed this myself, I would say about 10% of them don't wave. I think the reason they don't wave is because they aren't driving real jeeps.

This guy in my hood has one and he looked at me like it was nuts the first time I waved at him.
He waves all the time now...
I need to find out which house is his and get him to join this forum.

For real, right?
guys, learn how to read forum sections and keep this **** out of tech.
Actually, keep the "they dont wave to meeeeeeeee" threads and the "jk's arent real jeeps!" threads off the whole entire forum. No one cares.

As a TJ owner and JK owner. I agree the JK owners do not waive as much. I rent cars quite alot and I find myself waiving while in the rental.

In my area the JK owners actually wave just as much, maybe even a few more than the TJ owners. There's only one or two real big Jeep dealerships in Hampton Roads, I'm guessing at least a good amount of the salesmen are telling them to wave.
Wrong forum, but since I don't check out the others that often I'll give my 2 cents before it's moved.
