So, what's the Slate's 'Jeep wave' to other Slate drivers?

The local truck wave here South Central KY is the index finger raised off the steering wheel. (That’s the index finger NOT the middle one.)

I had a Wrangler for many years, and the Jeep Wave was a great tradition. I remember seeing a HUGE drop in waves after the Liberty came out; almost none of the Liberty drivers would return the wave. Not long after, even the more "traditional" jeep operators were reluctant to give the wave, probably tired of being snubbed so many times so why bother? Was sad to experience since it was always such a strong bond.
I sold my Wrangler about 20 years ago, so it would be nice to find out if the wave is back. :)

It's been my experience that soccer moms don't wave in these parts.

When you see a fellow Slate driver you're obligated to run into them so you can talk about how repairable it will be.

Building on this idea, I'd rather it be more like a Challenge Coin situation.
Present your chosen Slatelet. If the challenged has no Slatelet to reciprocate your challenge, you win (usually a cold drink, but foot massages also acceptable). If they produce their own, you lose! (same terms).

No ducks.
HARD agree. If I see one on mine I will wander the parking lot and cram it somewhere it doesn't belong (no idea since no exhaust or fuel door)

I actually took one OFF of a Jeep's door handle that CLEARLY did not partake in this nonsense. Saved them then upset.

Rubber Dachshunds instead of rubber duckies.
