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

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....

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 · 06-08-2007, 12:53 AM

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

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 · 06-08-2007, 04:32 AM

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 · 06-08-2007, 10:52 AM

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 · 06-09-2007, 06:32 AM

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

yrsdrgn · 06-09-2007, 06:09 PM

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

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 · 06-10-2007, 08:05 PM

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 · 06-10-2007, 08:06 PM

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

Devine · 06-10-2007, 08:20 PM

I used a zip tie

Obviously not a good choice.

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.
