Jeep Confidence 

The confidence one obtains by driving in a Jeep when you normally lack that in an everyday social setting. The biggest losers can ride in a Jeep and still obtain coolness just by the Jeep association. Giving the Jeep wave, head nod, and smile to passing Jeeps also helps you gain that extra cool confidence one normally lacks.
Eddie had Jeep confidence and was able to pick up some girls sipping Coca-Cola slurpies at the local 7-11 while getting gas. With that Jeep confidence he used the pick up line "So you wanna GO TOPLESS in my Jeep," and to his surprise they took off thier tops and jumped in. Wow! Jeep confidence works magic in scoring with the oppiste sex!

A jeep thing

When two jeeps pass on the road the drivers wave at each other. This may be a full blown wave or a simple raising of the fingers from the steering wheel. It's similar to the same practice when two motor cycles meet. It's only done with jeep models cj,yj or tj
While driving in your jeep you wave at another jeep as it passes. Your passanger say's. Who was that. You reply I don't know. They ask why you waved and you reply. It's a jeep thing.

non-jeep wave 

As many people know, Jeep owners have a special wave they share with other Jeep owners they pass on the road. There is also a non-Jeep wave. Any vehicle can participate except Jeeps. The non-Jeep wave consists of holding up three fingers and making a duck face at the other vehicle.

The Rules of the WAVE

Warning
Owning, registering, insuring, or driving a Jeep implies knowledge of and intent to abide by the following rules. Failure to obey the rules may result in your being ignored by other Jeep owners as you sit along the side of the road next to your stalled vehicle in a blizzard surrounded by Saturns, Yugos, and Hyundais.


Definition: The Jeep Wave

An honor bestowed upon those drivers with the superior intelligence, taste, class, and discomfort tolerance (exception to 97 and newer Jeep owners) to own the ultimate vehicle - the Jeep. Generally consists of either a raised hand waving or 4 fingers extended upward from the steering wheel, but may be modified to suit circumstances and locally accepted etiquette.


Examples of commonly accepted modifications:

Top off: One handed wave above windshield or outside body tub.

Top off during blizzard: Shiver and nod, hands may remain frozen to steering wheel.

Southern/rural locations: No wave, just a nod.



General Rules:

1. All Jeepers are responsible for upholding the tradition of the Wave. It seems that generally the Jeep wave is only practiced by Jeep owners driving the following Jeep vehicles; CJ, YJ, TJ, JK.

2. All Jeepers are required to return the Wave even if it's a Grand Cherokee or Compass.

3. Do not EVER wave to Hummers, even if you know the person.

When two jeep wranglers pass each other on opposite sides of the road, one of the drivers initiates the wave and the other waves back symbolism some sort of bondage between jeep owners.
