I dont like bumper stickers so I would never have anything hanging from my car. I hate when people have fate balls haning from there bumper. I have even seen them on a vette.

[cali yaris]

I like reading everyone else's bumper stickers, but I don't put them on my cars.

[Nigal]

Bumper stickers are like tattoos, ya have to wait until you find that perfect one that expresses something about you.

I don't think I would ever hang anything from the bumper because it'd get SOOO dirty within a week. If I were to hang something, I'd probably lack any originality and just hang it from the rear view mirror inside. hm.... Maybe I should purchase a new Mr Kon doll.

[cali yaris]

never seen one of those! who is Mr. Kon?

[ceres]

never seen one of those! who is Mr. Kon?

He's an artificial/modified soul usually attached to that lion plushie from the manga/anime Bleach. I only read the manga where he has a much smaller part. They use him in the anime for comedic filler a lot of the time.

[Yaris Revenge]

Cali, I've never even heard of this fad. Who's doing it, and where???

[eijikikimaru]

A lot of Drifters are hanging things from their rear tow hooks. I have a banana peel from Super Mario Bros. however I'm not a drifter. I just hang around a lot of them and they forced me to add it on. Something about i'm an unofficial member of the drift crew =p

[cali yaris]

I go to a huge meet up every Thursday night, probably 200 cars. I'll take some pics if the owners don't mind.

I heard it was a JDM thing, but I don't know who really started it. It certainly gets comments, especially from other "grownups"... hehe....

[ism3t]

for shame all of you who dont know who kon is, for shame.........

and for shame that your prolly still not going to find out till you see it on adult swim. FOR SHAME!!!

[eijikikimaru]

Feel bad for Kon when Yuzu(is that how you spell Ichigo's sister's name?) is around =p

[webomatics]

for shame all of you who dont know who kon is, for shame.........

So you avoid countless nights of insomnia trying to figure it out, it’s a character from the highly successful manga made anime BLEACH, sorry this series is like my weekly crack, I had to say it… but you probably Googled it by now.

[ism3t]

bleach is also my weekly crack. and now so is death note. CANT GET ENOUGH!
claymore is getting pretty good too. FYI rest of the world!

[ceres]

I've never really watched the anime. And I've only seen a handful of fansubs from back in the day when it had just started. I've been reading the manga for something like 3-4 years now. Not sure I can keep reading it though. It's soooooo long. I might drop it if this story arch ever finishes up. I know new ones are still coming out in Japan and I hope they've at least moved onto a new story arch. I'm generally not a fan of series that just seem to run forever (like DBZ).

It's a pretty big thing around here - even stock as a rock mom & pop cars are into it..

I've seen everthigng from betty boop, to tigger, to the corpse's bride, to ultraman - they're everywhere!

[eTiMaGo]

hey if the Japanese people do it, it's gotta be cool :biggrin:

[yrsdrgn]

wouldn't it fall off if you're driving on the freeway? That's the only thing that's holding me back from putting the gold super mario mushroom or yoshi on my car haha

YOSHI is the best. lol...he's the character i'll always use in the Mario Kart series.

[yrsdrgn]

yea. same here haha. but, I don't wanna lose yoshi if I'm driving and he's hanging on for dear life on the rear tow hook thingy on the freeway

[Devine]

I'm too scared to lose a little creature so low to the ground. One speed bump and it will be done for! I did however find a nice addition for my shifter...

When I find something that survives my drive to work hanging on the the bumper I'll post it....so far I've tried....and lost a cute little kitten...9 lives didn't work on the freeway I bet as the 80 cars behind me didn't even notice the bump of their tires as it ran over the poor thing.

<<D>>

[yrsdrgn]

ouch. I wonder how the critters survive hanging. Metal keychains?

[Devine]

I used a zip tie



Obviously not a good choice.


<<D>>

that is one clean home you keep sir/madam. (inside your car i mean)

[yrsdrgn]

<<D>>

what are other choices? I'm sure after a while of wear and tear, the sewing that is connected to whatever keychain or ziptie will be worn down and eventually just break away.

[Devine]

614 miles on it....it better still be clean


:tongue:

My friend uses a hook used for Mt. Climbing. Like someone mentioned before zip ties are used, along with shoe strings, rubberbands, and chain =p too hook up the stuff creature.

as for the wear and tear of the sewing, I know of some who glue the stiches befor they hook, others reenforce the sewing with more string, and there are those others who just risk it =p
