The Finger

[peterh]

Funny I am still driving my Wrangler until the Bronco shows up and I thumbs upped a Bronco and the guy gave me the finger - I think he thought I was giving him grief? Either way, it's kind of funny how antsy and tribal people can get.

We were driving on a two lane highway, and in both cases they were going the other direction. We weren't in town or anything.

Does your license plate say anything like this...?

If not, I wouldn’t sweat it.

 

[SWLABRONCO]

No lol, but maybe it should.

Usually I like the eye contact but this was agressive.

 

[Tacoman]

I have both, I wave to both!

I wonder if some are throwing up more of a nonchalant peace sign wave that’s misinterpreted as one finger. I only consider this because awhile back there was a thread of a guy who claimed he’d been flipped off like 6 or 8 times in a day or two by jeeps. I just find it strange that this only happens to a small few. Also, a guy let me merge into traffic not long ago, I stuck my hand out the window to thank him like I would when bikers pass eachother, he pulls up asking why I flipped him off…just a thought. I’m sure it happens, just hope it’s not this common.

Must be the bumper sticker...

I daily a 2dr jeep JK, getting used to 4dr JKU’s not waving back (soccer moms), then when I drive the Bronco, I’ll accidentally jeep wave, and 1/10 will wave back, some stupid looks too.

All I can say is that when I was at Trail Hero last October in Sand Hollow.... every single jeep guy or girl or whatever they were in, was cooler than shit to me and my Bronco.

One guy in a sweet 392 Jeep even took a video of me on one of the obstacles without me asking because he knew I was by myself. My experience is the real off road guys dont get involved in that BS.

Either you drive like a dick or the person has mental health issues.

No normal/sane person would give you the finger strictly because you drive a different brand car than they do.

I’ve seen this thread pop up a couple of times here and I just struggle to believe it actually happens.

I just channel my Spirit Guide and keep my response classy though slightly confusing to the undereducated and unenlightened

 

[SWLABRONCO]

Well I guess they both have mental health issues. Like I said, in both cases we were passing each other on a two lane highway going in opposite directions. I don't drive like a dick and neither does my wife. I'm not some punk kid out pissing people off, so "1979" you can believe whatever the hell you want.

I wave at anybody driving an off-road shoebox.

Jealousy. Jeep owner should be happy. The Bronco was the best thing for them. I've had CJs, YJs, TJs and JKs. all of them leaked. Didn't matter if it was a hard top or a soft top. Now Jeep has to up there game.
