"jeep wave"

I live in upstate NY, and commute to the city for work. In my travels ive noticed something that kinda irks me. Up by me when passing a jeep in the opposite lane 9 out of 10 times a "jeep wave" is exchanged, However south of I 84 unless its another lifted jeep, I get no response to my gesture. Im not complaining, Im just trying to understand this jeep snobbery. Any theories would be interesting to hear. Thanks, out

I live in Southern Missouri and it seems to me that the Jeepers that wave back are the guys and gals that really understand the "jeep thing." All the others are just people who just happen to own a jeep.

I truly understand you! if my husband drives my 07 Rubicon, guys wave at him and he usually does,even when he is driving his TJ sport,it's the women jeep owners that are snobs,and usually they just turned their jeeps into pavement posers,not even a single slight smudge on it!!!! I own an 07 Rubicon but I'm ok with its scratch marks,cracked window,dented side,and on going loose fenders....it only means one thing,I'm out there having FUN with it!!!
don't mind those snobs they look very constipated anyways...Just have fun with your jeep!

Here in Indiana I would say its pretty much 85-90% of the time I get a wave back.  I have to agree with Hazel that its mostly the women(Not all mind you, just some) that seem to not want to be friendly.  However in Minn, I would be careful who you talk to.  Just  because they have a Jeep doesn't mean they are friendly.  I almost had a cop pull a gun on and flash his badge just because I wanted to ask him about his bestop....sad.....  I have no idea what was his problem, but geez lighten up!!

Whoaaa! that's kindda scary! usually men jeep owners are very passionate about their ride,if you ask them something about their jeep they get excited right away.That's kindda odd!?
I wish there is a jeep club here where i live,I guess d fun factor of off-roading is just way off d roof it just happens that my hubby has a friend who has a jeep( he owned it for ages) then we started jeepin almost every weekend but I feel sorry for the guy coz it's kindda too late for him to enjoy it his suspension is not in good shape for extreme off-roading now (sniff) But he is planning to get a newer jeep(yeeey)
so you guys out there always have fun with your baby!
