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

The EV shocker ⚡ ?

Start with the fist, then flick your thumb and forefinger out.

No ducks.

No ducks.

Rubber Dachshunds instead of rubber duckies.

No dox, either.

I already wave at Jeep drivers. I don't use all my fingers, though.

maybe the window roll?

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.)

Since Slate has already released their files for Slatelets, someone with a printer needs to fashion some sort of Dachshund Slatelets; might go over well

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.

Ok hilarious though....

I've owned a Wrangler for 23 years and it's mostly been my main vehicle all that time. When I bought it, I could drive across town and see one or two other Wranglers so it was kinda fun to wave.

Now, I can't make it out of my driveway before 3 of them pass by. And I can't stand new jeeps/jeepers. The Jeeps are all cartoon or superhero themed, ducks everywhere and enough cheap LED lights that my ham radio goes to static when they get close.

So yeah, I quit waving years ago. It's nice to just drive around and do my thing and not worry about it.
