A 5g Ranger Pulled up Aside Me... But...

[LostMy65]

He didn't wave at me.
I was kinda surprised.
Classic car guys always give a classic car guy a thumbs-up.
Truckers do it. Bikers do it. Even people passing by each other slowly on a quiet private road.
I mean, there isn't a lot of us 5g Ranger folks out there. When one of them saw me in one of them, I expected some kind of acknowledgement. But no, he just kept looking straight ahead at the stoplight.

I totally get the same reaction Robert. Driver looking straight ahead and I’m waving like someone who just saw himself on the jumbotron at the hockey game when they pan the crowd during the commercial break.

Was that you? Sorry, I’m kind of a dick…

I get the same reaction here but I really don't mind. When I had my Jeep it was really annoying having every Jeep wave at you as you passed them. Seeing as there's a Jeep every 50' it got old quick.?

I'm starting to see a lot more Rangers here now so I got to thinking I should make up a sign that says "damper on board". Maybe more will wave to me.?

I see them all the time on the west side of Houston. Never get a second glance from the drivers.

I had a guy give what seemed like a rased fingers off the wheel wave this past weekend. By the time I realized what happened the chance to wave back was gone. I've never had a Jeep, or a motorcycle, so the wave isn't something that comes naturally. The Tacoma crowd, tried to get something together.. Jeep envy.. never caught on.

Maybe I catch the next guy... there really aren't many Ranger's in Nova Scotia.

Sell it. I need a blacked out version.

Here's a good wave for those who choose not to wave back........

I've lived in more than one place where you just waved to people while driving, regardless of what vehicle you or they were in. Where I live now, the majority of my neighbors wave when driving by. It's just what you do.

I dont get the Jeep wave or duck thing, but again, it's a Jeep thing - I wouldn't understand.

As an somewhat introverted former Subie and current Jeep driver I abhore the "hey we drive the same vehicle" wave.

One of my favorite '80's movies. I watch it at least one a year!

I'll wave to the guy who lives next door to me and drives a ranger, but if he didn't I'd wave to him anyways. Never had or maybe I've not noticed ranger drivers waving, not my thing. However a thing with Saabs at one time was parking next to another Saab, that led me to park in between 2 cars to avoid that kind of nonsense , picked up some doors dings as a result but that's life plus with my little buddy coiled around my neck it's sometimes difficult to raise my arm.
