I did the same to all Mav owners I saw, but most ignored me and my wife made fun of me so I gave up!

I have gotten waved back. What is funny is that we both see each other trying to see each other!! The wave is the "Yeah, I was looking to see if you were looking at me" confirmation.

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.

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.)
All the Focus ST,RS and Fiesta ST guys always wave at each other! lol

I mostly favor the well known Mr. Bean wave.

Exclusivity and privilege have never been aspirational for me and even if they were, owning a Maverick wouldn't satisfy them. To each his own.

Same. She very quick to remind me that we are not in my “hometown”.
