    One must have standards rang! If I ever see a ridgeline I just stare at it, confused like.

    In a short time, I too have not just Jeep, but intellectual superiority. Mine looks like and I am convinced it is better than any newer model Jeep I see. I drank the kool-aid and it was gooooood.

          Don't know if the yuppie / soccer mom / bro-tractor crowd know about the wave.
          Thought about this post today, passed a seventies wagoneer on the highway. We both freaked the hell out and about gave myself whiplash!

          Then the hubs went for his first real ride in it and she did great and some guy at the store was all impressed. This is all good because the more he likes it, the more I can dump money into it not that I listen anyways. It was a good Jeep day!!!

              It's like bigfoot here too...not all that common. The few that are most likely to give a wave are the ones that are also on the outskirts of the Jeep family. The Comanches, the YJs, or other older jeeps (FS or other pre-chryco). Eagles as well. I've had a few XJs or TJs and like give waves, but it's the exception and not the rule. And they clearly are only waving because they recognize that it IS a Jeep. Most don't have a clue what we have ARE Jeeps.

              I just try to take note of any waves....whether they are using all their fingers or not. That says a lot more about people.
