What’s the Jeep wave all about?

Why do Jeep drivers wave at each other?

If you’re a Jeep Wrangler driver, you may very well already know about the Jeep wave. If you don’t, it’s time to learn in order to keep all your fellow Wrangler drivers happy with a tradition that keeps going strong. Today we’ll tell you about the Jeep wave, the rules (there are only two!) and while we’re at it we’ll throw in a little information about where you can come and test drive a new or used Jeep Wrangler — maybe you’ll even get to try the wave during your test drive! 

Alright, so as simply put as possible, the Jeep wave is a tradition wherein Jeep Wrangler drivers, upon encountering another Jeep Wrangler driver anywhere on the road (or off road!) give a friendly wave to one another. It’s a friendly gesture that says, “Hey, you’ve got great taste in vehicles, and I would know!” Many Wrangler drivers are very interested in keeping the amicable tradition alive. So what are the rules?

There are two rules of the Jeep wave: 

1. All Jeep Wrangler Owners Must Wave

2. New Jeep Waves First

And really that second one is pretty negotiable — after all, it might not be immediately clear the model year of a given Jeep when passed quickly on the road — Just wave either way to be on the safe side. If you see another Jeep driver wave,  of course you should wave back!

Do other Jeep model drivers do this?

Not that we know of, but if you drive a Cherokee, Patriot, or some other great Jeep model, why not give it a try? You never know, you could start an all-new tradition right here in Racine.

Speaking of right here in Racine, why not come in and see us for a test drive of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler. We might just see some other Wrangler drivers out there, in which case you know what to do…
