Random stranger props count +1
I was pulling into the gas station waiting behind this guy, i noticed he kept looking back at me, I thought he was mad that I was waiting for him to finish fillin up. Another spot opened up next to it and I was fillin up, guy tapped me on the shoulder, said "hey man, nice car", I said, thanks and was kinda surprised.
Also while trying to get the new car inspection, the mechanic couldn't start the car and was so amazed at the start button, lol, he kept sayin "wow, you just press it"

I always give the to fellow 2IS drivers. There should be a universal signal to identify your part of the CL forums haha

No matter where you drive in the 'States, there is an unsaid "Jeep Wave" that you are supposed to give to other Wrangler drivers as you pass by them (supposed to happen with all Jeeps, but only really does with the Wrangler). In fact, you almost get offended if you wave and it's not reciprocated--no joke! If you ever see two Wranglers together, watch closely and the drivers will wave to each other...
It was a lot of fun to be part of this "club" while I had my '99 TJ. Man, I miss those times...gave you the warm fuzzies everytime someone waved at you. Although, I must admit, that car needed so much maintenance...
Anyone else in here ex-Wrangler owners? It's too bad we can't generate a similar type of mentality with our ISes...we're too stuck up, I guess.

my car was complimented by an owner of a 2005 Audi S4... he couldnt get over how much the styling improved over the previous gen IS. most Audi owners I have met are fanatics about their cars, so thought that really was a good compliment... maybe he'll crossover and consider a 350..

Of course in those days, the marque was so rare that you could go for days or weeks without seeing another one on the road.
That makes it all the more impressive that such a ubiquitous car like the Jeep Wrangler could garner this type of behavior...and yes, I could easily have waved more than 5 times in one day...

When this new model came out, I fell in love with the looks AND the performance of it...totally transformed me into a Lexus-believer...looks so much better than any car in its class out there, IMO (3-series, C-class, A4, G35, etc.)...
