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.

Get the non-jeep wave mug.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.

Get the jeep wrangler mug.Also reffered to as "Jihad Jeep" -- a cheap method of racking-up kills in Battlefield 2 (and Battlefield: Vietnam) at the expendure of your own life (usually). It happens by a person attaching rediculous amounts of c4 onto a jeep or other fast mover and drives it into a crowd of people or vehicles, jumping out and detonating (as you cannot detonate while inside)
Also, historically: Before the more recent patches in Battlefield 1942, back in the day, the Willies Jeep or Kubelwagen were extremely fast and prone to detonation as if it so much as colided with a pebble in the road. Cashing it at full speed into another vehicle (usually a tank) would more than likely destory it. (sometimes a person could jump out if timing was right). THen they implemented e-breaks.
