Hey, I didn't find anything on this in the search. I'm looking for ideas so show off your rear view mirror ornament! Hopefully.. there wont be any dice.

Thanks all!

you can't really see it - but its one of these chinese knots for luck and prosperity. No, I am not Chinese but I worked their for some years and a friend gave it to me to say goodbye.

In every state I have ever lived those things were illegal and were just cause for being stopped and ticketed. Not even those portable handicapped placards are allowed while the vehicle is in motion.

I'm gonna call BS on that law. I've never heard anything about it here in Kansas.

I have a couple tassles from high school and college but I'm too lazy to take pics.

I call BS as well. I think it depends on what is being hung. I think hanging a CD is illegal. Due to reflection from a sun hitting the CD, it can not only blind you but other drivers as well.

As for the handicapped placards, I think its due to the size. In NY, they are semi big so it can block your view. The purpose of the placard is for when you're parking..not driving. So there is no need to have it hanging. Also, in NYC, we have the wheelchair symbol on our license plate as well instead of having to hang it on the mirror.

This is what is hanging on mine..Broadway mirror and Valentine One Radar Detector on a custom mount (no more coiled cord hanging. Its not routed along the headliner and down the passenger pillar)...

Whats not shown is my parking pass that is between the bracket and window that is hung from the mirrors stem.
