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.)
Well I don’t know if I can claim we “started” a craze, BUT WE NOW HAVE 3 Mav Hybrids within our immediate neighborhood and we all wave 👋 when we drive past each other. 😁

Did you lose 3 fingers in a wood chipper or something? Lol. I actually broke both my middle fingers in a flywheel stamper press ages ago, it's actually uncomfortable to flip the bird for me.
no, but finger is what some singles can be taken as...no road rage for me.

Per Hawaiian Airlines...... “Hang loose,” “Right on,” “Thank you,” “Things are great,” “Take it easy” – in Hawaii, the shaka sign expresses all those friendly messages and more. As kamaaina know, to make the shaka, you curl your three middle fingers while extending your thumb and baby finger. For emphasis, quickly turn your hand back and forth with your knuckles facing outward.

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.
Yes it's only recently that I am starting to see them fairly regularly. For some reason I was seeing more Santa Cruzes then Mavs. Not the case now.

The Maverick is a nice little truck but to wave at another Maverick owner....I don't think so. The Corvette, Jeeps & Mini Cooper owners typically wave at each other (Ex Mini Cooper owner here) which is OK b/c they have a deep history / following....Google Mini on the Mack.
Of you ever rode a Motorcycle it was common.

I think it should be the hang loose. For it looks like the horns on the logo for this forum. I have been doing the hang loose to all that I see.

That's exactly how I do it!

It's the duty of the offspring to eyeroll everything the parents do and say. That said, I like the 'hang loose' sign better than cluttering the dashboard with ducks or whatever...😉
