Hey Asshole I waived at you yesterday and you didn't waive back. J/K

As the owner of 2 jeeps I can tell you the jeep wave is much more present than the Z wave. People in jeeps go way outta there way to wave to you. Z's, not so much. I wave all the time and get pissed when the other guy doesn't wave back, it's just wasted energy....you know?!?!

A quick "search" revealed 10 other threads about this topic.

Make sure you give the correct Z wave.








jk, I usually wave. If they don't wave back, they may be preoccupied. Friendliness is catching. I wouldn't be giving off any gang symbols though.

Trust me there is nothing like the Jeep Wave. Its cool to see another lifted Jeep. My Z is too stock to wave from though. Once my damn wheels come in i'll wave to other modded Zs.

ok jeep first of all you ordered those back in june or something and they still aren't here, that's pretty fcking ridiculous if you ask me.

secondly i wave honk and flash my high beams at every Z i see. I think it's important to do this.

I do. Z's are somewhat of a rare breed mile high, so we recognize each other on the road.

Here's an odd but neat thing: I get the peace sign from sport bikers all the time. An homage of one high performance machine to another, I take it.

I used to but so many around here don't care. I still always acknowledge & look, just in case they aren't too cool for mere humans, being the gods among men that they are . In which case I will wave/honk/whatever.
