One of the first things you learn after buying a Jeep Wrangler is the Wrangler wave: whenever you meet a fellow Wrangler driver on the road, you give a quick wave. It's so ingrained in me after eight years bouncing around behind the wheel of my Jeep that I often wave at Wranglers when I'm actually driving something else. It's one of those long-standing traditions of the roadway that's kind of silly but feels good -- just like having a secret handshake at the fraternity, actually, but with less beer and vomit.
Maybe that's why Wrangler-driving women almost never do the wave. Marines, farmer dudes, obvious homosexuals such as myself, all generally give a wave. Women, almost never. Do they wonder whey all these guys are waving at them? Maybe it really is just a guy thing.
That's me, a big male bonder.
