Cool The Wave

My friend, who owns a Wrangler, always yells at me every time I drive it that when I pass another Wrangler I have to wave. It's mandatory. It's weird, because... well they always wave back. When I'm in my truck I get the same thing from all the other truck drivers, and I'm gonna assume motorcyclists do it too!

I've got into the habit now of waving to every Cougar I see on the road. Modified. Not modified. Every single one gets a wave haha. So far I've only had one other guy in a all blacked out Coug give me a nod back, but I'm sure soon the fever will catch on.

Re: The Wave

lol I've done that about 6 times to other Cougars in town & got 2 waves back, a nod from a cute chick, & the finger.

Its like the old trucker greeting from the steering wheel, raise your index & middle finger just a bit when you pass by each other. Its actually code too, because one means cop down the way.

Re: The Wave

Hence the saying "It's a Jeep thing."

I've seen almost no Cougars lately. But I tend to wave when I see them and get no response.

Re: The Wave

I was driving my brother-in-law's wrangler for a day, and it's true. It's weird.

Re: The Wave

It's the "Hey you paid $18k for stamped sheet metal and plastic bag windows too?" wave.

Re: The Wave

i wave at any car thats considered "tuned". Body kit, unusal colors, lowered, etc etc.
And seems like when i drive my cougar, people with "tuned" car wave at me or gives me thumbs up as well.

Re: The Wave

Harley-Davidson riders do it. It's called the "Hand down" (like putting your hand out for a low-five) to symbolize the "HD" name.

I took a hood to one of the guys off of here last saturday, he lives up in Canton. I swear I have NEVER seen so many cougars in one town. In columbus I may see 2 or 3. Driving from one end of canton to the other, after I saw 5 cougars I started counting. There were 23 cougars I passed. I was like wtf, did they have a clearance sale I missed or something.
