The Secret Society of Jeep Wranglers

I am not even sure if this is public knowledge. It may even be so secret only the Harley guys know about it.

Once you drive a Jeep Wrangler, you are forever in the society of Jeep-ites. Jeep-ers? Jeep-ians?
Wrangler drivers wave to each other. Everyday. All the time. In fact, as you read this hundreds of people are driving with the top down perfecting their Jeep wave.

We have a Wrangler, and have had Wranglers for years. I left the church on my wedding day in a black one. My husband drives it mostly, but once in a while I remember that I should take the top of and go for a ride by myself. I call it my mini vacation.

Well, what I don't remember is that you get waved to...over and over again. And frankly, if you want to drive a car that makes you feel good....the Wrangler does. Every other Jeep is your friend. Your coolness factor goes up. You feel glad you too own a Jeep. It is brilliant marketing. Or is it? How did this Jeep wave come to be? In 1941...were they waving in Willys?

Let me know if you have the answer. Until then, I will be watching for my husbands signature two finger left hand raise on the steering wheel as he salutes his fellow Wrangler men and women.
