RE: waving..
i dont no if they had this commercial in the US..but it was a couple years ago, a kid in a orange civic with the system up and alll tricked out is driving slowly on this road, and coming the other way was a older guy in a stock civic, and if keeps going back and forth between the 2 and then right when there about to pass, the kid in the orange civic does the head nod or wave, i forget, it was a sweet commercial tho..and its was about "joning the honda nation"
there jeep guys are crazy..cheak this out
THE JEEP WAVE: An honor bestowed upon those drivers with the superior intelligence, taste, class, and discomfort tolerance to own the ultimate vehicle - the Jeep. Generally consists of vigorous side-to-side motion of one or both hands, 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: Raise fingers from steering wheel, nod
It's not what you buy, it's what you build and what you do with it.
In keeping with this cardinal rule of Jeeping, categories have been established to account for each part of the equation.
These categories are:
The Jeep Waving Hierarchy: Based on the vehicle itself. Takes into account the nostalgia factor, the discomfort tolerance quotient, and the amount of owner dedication required to maintain the steed.
The Modifying Sub-categories: Based on what you do with your Jeep.
Equipment Adjustments: What you build.
General Rules:
1. All Jeepers are responsible for upholding the tradition of the Wave. Upon contact with a higher scoring Jeep, a Jeeper is required to initiate the Wave, and continue the Wave until:
a. The Wave is returned
b. The Wave is blatantly disregarded
c. The higher scoring vehicle has passed by and is out of sight
2. All Jeepers are required to return the Wave, unless the initiating vehicle is clearly has a negative (below 0) score.
3. All Jeepers are encouraged, but not required, to return the Wave to negative balance vehicles, and take any opportunity presented to guide and mentor them about their responsibilities to their Jeeps in the hopes that they can correct the error of their ways.
4. When unsure of status or wave requirements of a particular encounter or unable to completely assess the other Jeep's score quickly enough to ensure that the proper Jeep Wave Etiquette rules are followed, immediately initiate wave.

First, the Jeep Waving Hierarchy (JWH):
Category A - Pre-CJ: 30
Category B - Pre-AMC CJ: 27
Category C - Other CJ: 25
Category D - Commando: 20
Category E - YJ: 16
Category F - TJ: 15
Category G - Cherokee, Wagoneer: 10
Category H - All other Jeeps: 5
Category I - All other 4WD vehicles EXCEPT yuppie Explorers: 0
Category J - All other vehicles
The Modifying Sub-Categories (MSCs):
(What you do with it)
MSC Guidelines:
1. MSCs must be considered during all Jeep encounters, and wave patterns must be adjusted accordingly.
2. MSC 5 is the median - the accepted norm.
3. MSCs from 1 through 4 will increase score as listed.
4. MSCs 6 and 7 will decrease score as listed.
MSC 1: Top off; vehicle, driver, and all occupants covered with mud: +30
MSC 2: Top partially off; vehicle and some occupants covered with Mud: +20
MSC 3: Top on; vehicle covered with mud: +10
MSC 4: Top off during snow, sleet, hail, or heavy rain: +5
MSC 5: Somewhat dirty: 0
MSC 6: Obviously recently washed, but immediately re-muddied a little: -10
MSC 7: Clean, dry, unscratched, untested: -30
Equipment Adjustments (EAs)
(What you build)
Consideration must be given to the current mechanical condition of the vehicle, including all modifications for trailworthiness, comfort, appearance, and spouse-appeasal. These are known as Equipment Adjustments (EAs). EAs are a complicated category, and often difficult to appraise under certain conditions (passing head-to-head at 60 mph, when covered with mud, etc) but must be used to modify score when feasible. If a vehicle is so covered with mud that you are unable to ascertain any of the EAs, you MUST assume that the EAs, when combined with the MSC 1 adjustment, would place the vehicle in a higher scoring position than any non-MSC 1 Jeep, and immediately initiate the wave. Otherwise, EAs will adjust score as follows:

RE: waving..
Out here in Southern California there are so many Civics people could care less, If I waved at every nice civic Id be waving every 15 seconds. Not to mention that there are so many different styles of cars. But one thing I see alot of are some very very nice custom Harleys cruisin the freeways and to them I usually give a thumbs up which is usually followed by wave or head nod. Ill only usually thumbs up if something is extremely bad ***, old Hot rods and Biker Chicks on Harleys.

RE: waving..
Yeah, so, I just got back from running and errand for work. I passed a civic going the opposite way as me, lowered, buddy club kit, wheels, and a nice sounding exhaust. I thought to myself "hell, why not give it one last try." So I waved, and he actually waved back!
What a coinky dink
