Most folks don’t buy a Corvette by accident, choosing the thing for its performance value and (generally) good looks.

#Hand signals while driving drivers#

Like the FJ, Corvette drivers often acknowledge each other in some way whether it’s a wave, nod, or shake of the mullet. While it may simply be a case of “Hey, you’ve got one too!” rather than an organized salute, chances are high you’ll receive an acknowledgement of some sort from other FJ drivers if you’re tooling around in Toyota’s off-road ute. This one seems to be more of a camaraderie thing, since FJs were bought in relatively small numbers (fewer than 1,000 were sold annually between 2009 and its 2014 demise) but have an avid fan following today. We’ll take this opportunity to mention a different type of hand gesture people on the new Ford Bronco forums said they plan flipping to Jeep owners. As for the hand gesture itself, general convention seems to say it should be limited to owners of Wranglers, but there’s nothing stopping drivers of Cherokees and Gladiators from greeting each other on the road. It’s so popular, in fact, the company has created an owner’s club called Jeep Wave, providing deals on maintenance and 24/7 owner support. Now the Wrangler has grown into a habitable form of transportation and seen a massive sales increase, the trend has taken on a life of its own.

Ages ago, quickly flashing a peace sign either off the steering wheel rim or out the driver’s side during doors-off driving was the domain of CJ/YJ/TJ owners in the know. We’ll start with the best-known and most obvious of all handshakes - the Jeep Wave. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
