What is hanging from your rearview mirror?

A soccerball

A cement block.

Actually it is illegal in SD to hang anything from your mirror. It gives them the right to pull you over for nothing.

a flip flop air freshener

I hope no one has those dang fuzzy dice. I HATE THOSE! IT'S OOOOOOOOOOVER! THEY WERE CUTE AND FUNNY IN THE 70'S!!!!! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ON!!!

(sorry if I've offended anyone with fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror)

The 90's version is that Garfield cat stuck to the window.

Anyway, the only thing hanging from my mirror is my driver ID, or actually, the material that you wear like a necklace and then attach the ID to.

Molly · The Mediator

I had dice in my '73 Nova. It just looked like it needed dice.

Actually, I need to de-accessorize my car, it's looking too girly. I've got the flip flop on my rearview mirror, a minature dragon on my dashboard (he protects my car. Hey, don't knock it, the only problem I've ever had with it is the windsheild wipers.), an NHRA sticker on the side window, grey tiger print floormats, and a stuffed leopard cub that my husband got me in the back window. I think it's the stuffed animal that pushes it too far.

Sparky · Phat Cat EL Presidente

I have 3 baby shades in the back windows,and a baby on board sign ( sorry Riggs not my choice).

I got nothin'

I guess I'm just weird, but stuff like that bugs me. Not that I care if anyone else does, but when I'm driving, I don't want something swinging around in front of me.

I know we've talked about it before, but I'm the same way with jewlery. If it bugs me more than it helps, I don't want to mess with it.

The thing I DON'T understand are these HUGE keychains with the collection of crap on it. What's up with that? It's mostly women I've seen carry those, but what's the deal with the 2 foot keychain with 50 other things tied to it?

I have a fuzzy penguin but I'm going to have to take it down. It's really beginning to smell.

ray925 · Darth Raydar

My daughter has that exact key chain. Actually it works as a protection device. She can swing it hit someone upside the head. That will leave a mark and give her a chance to get out of a bad situation. I've also told her to carry a key in her hand like a knife. Again good for creating a deep scratch.

I have got my work parking pass and green and gold beads from new orleans!

ray925 · Darth Raydar

JD - Did you earn those beads the Thumper way?

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

I am so not the typical girl. My keychain has three keys (two house, one car), the car thingamabob and my work key pass dojiggy. I can't stand carrying all that crap. I often wonder what the point is too.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

I have a front and back door key to the house, a key for our rehearsal hall and my car key...but whats the point of having keys if you dont put them on a Packer key chain.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

oops...wrong thread...pretend my previous post was on the key chain thread.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Nothing hanging from my mirror

Trish · The Procrastinating Red-Head

(Trish sadly removes purple with pink dots fuzzy dice from mirror.)

WebGuy · Doesn't Do Windows

Nope. Too late. You're labeled as a "wrong thread poster" now.

Too bad . . . so sad.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Oh, the shame!

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Hopefully I wont be busted by the lyric police for singing incorrect lyrics to songs playing on FFR.

I have only a work parking lot pass on my mirror.

I agree with Web on the swinging stuff.
The pass is stiff plastic and doesn't come below the mirror.

Vermont has the same type of statute where the cops can pull you over for obstructing the view through your windshield.

That was cute Dave!!!

Sometimes it is good to have one, just to make sure who you ran over is really dead

jstdve · CEO - The KOTO Co.

BIG LOL !

Actually one time I ran over an animal that will remain anonymous (Cat) and I saw it fly up in the air in my rearview mirror. It haunted me for years

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

BUMP!
Same Question. smile

A "Dream Catcher" that my friend bought for me a few years ago in Arizona... My Clip on Police ID badge, and my V.I.P. pass that I wore around my neck at the Plain White Tee's Concert..

I don't believe it's legal. And I don't think it should be. I have never hung anything from the rearview mirror. It's distracting, and I hate being in the back seat when something is hanging from the driver's mirror - it makes me carsick not to be able to just focus ahead on the road.
I have hung a few things off of my radio knob or something, but nothing that dangles in the eyesight of a passenger. Oh, and since we're on the subject -- I hate when people hang shiny things off of their mirrors. Have you ever been driving behind some moron with a CD hanging, and the sun hits it & it totally blinds you?

garougal · Cleverly Disguised As A Responsible Adult

Nothing at all right now, although on occasion I have a lucky cat hanging there.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

I have a cervical cancer support bracelet hanging from my rearview mirror. My '73 Nova had fuzzy dice.

I've actually never had the problem with anything shiny hanging from anyone's rearview mirror, but my car is pretty low. I have more problems with the headlights from trucks behind me shining into my rearview mirror.
