It's no secret that we, as Maverick owners, are privileged to be in such an exclusive society. Ford still isn't cranking them out like crazy yet and the supply still has not quite met demand either.

That said: I feel compelled to salute every Maverick owner I see on my travels. I feel an unspoken camaraderie with them/you guys.

I usually end up acknowledging that by giving them what I've deemed "The Mav Signal". I just give a little🤙in passing-which, when I position my hand where my pinky and thumb are pointing upwards, it kinda looks like...you guessed it...Maverick horns! 😅

Just trying to gauge the community on this one: Is it cool 😎 or am I nuts 🤪 for doing this? (My daughter thinks it's the latter.)

It’s a sure sign of civilization’s imminent collapse when we start caring about what our offspring think of us. Just ask Sophocles. ;)

I simply wave. But the dealer had eight Mavericks on the lot this morning with only three being Retail. Half were hybrid. So, I suspect our numbers will grow a lot.

Your daughter is correct.

🤘
Longhorn ... Maverick .... is what she is expecting from you :)
She knows I take the "advice" of teenagers with a grain of salt!

True indeed. I counted nine of them a few days ago while I was out-and that was only within about a four hour time span.

How you acknowledge them is up to you. I agree and nod or give a thumbs up.
It is obvious to me whether they went through the pain most of us went through by ordering and waiting for ever and one who just went to the lot and bought one.
The fleet drivers don’t relate to us. They are just lucky to be driving one the company supplied!
Happy driving!

I mean the OP looks like a "Hang Ten" sign to me ... from CA ..the surfers used it.
If ever confronted...just give them the love and peace signs:
🤟✌
The hang 10 sign is actually very close to how I do it! I used to skateboard at a pretty high level through much of the 80's and 90's, so old habits die hard, I guess. Lol

EXACTLY! The thirteen months I waited was well worth it in the end-but very frustrating in real time!
