We did this a while back, but the other thread was well over a year old, so I figured we'd start over with a new one ;)

So I though it would be fun to share what is hanging from your rear view mirror in your car :D

I have a cross hanging from my mirror, it has been there for a while now ...

*EDIT: Anyone want one; I sell these ;)

Back in the day I had the tassel from my HS graduation cap there ... then later I had a naughty teddy bear there.

I don't have anything on mine, though I should probably get an air freshener. I do have dog hair on the back seats and dog kisses on just about all my windows though. :)

In the UK it's actually Illegal to have anything hanging from the Rear-View Mirror. Although some people do.

I don't, so here's a picture of my Car under a small flurry of Snow.

She's a Ford Focus called "Freda" :D

oh I like this thread!

I'm surprised with all the stuff I have hanging that my rear view mirror hasn't fallen off:)

I don't have any pictures but.....

1) there is a glow in the dark butterfly (one of those that you usually stick to a wall or ceiling)
2) a turtle key chain from my friend,
3) a charm of my name that was on a cord necklace but never wore so I put it on the chain with the butterfly (it was from FH the first thing he ever gave me, said he was shopping saw it hanging at the counter, thought it was a sign(this was before we were dating) and wanted to get it for me:grinhappy:)
4) a paper flower and little tag in rememberance of the Veterans from Memorial Day
5) my name tag from work, were supposed to wear them but I have one on my desk so I just don't,lol.

It's illegal in PA to hang stuff from the rearview mirror...sigh. So I have to find other ways to decorate my vehicle.

No car here, but FH's car (which I'll adopt as mine too when I move in) has nothing hanging. Well, maybe a campus parking pass? No, not right now I guess.

I have nothing at the moment in my current car. My old car had my high school graduation tassel hanging from it and an air freshener, but I doubt I have any pictures.

I didn't know Ford sold in the UK. I guess you learn something new everyday :)

We don't only buy and sell Fords here. We build them too!.

A few of my Friends take the micky about me having a Ford saying it stands for
Found
On
Road
Dead. :bbeek:

I also own an old 1969 Morris Minor which was a Metroplitan Police Car from 1969 - 1973. It's been round the clock 4 times at 480,000 miles.

The Ford Focus is Englands biggest selling car. The Police have them as high pursuit vehicles. Although most of them are Estate Cars like SerendipityCrafts Car or Hatchback. Which is a different style to mine.
70% of all Work Vans in the UK are Ford. FH drives a Long wheel base, high top Ford Transit Van.
People that drive them are known as "White Van Man".

How about a vinyl car decal? They hold on really well (that is what our lettering is made from) but they don't damage the paint if you need to remove them.

Our Ford Taurus has a name too. She's affectionately known as the Dipity Mobile!

http://www.serendipity-crafts.com/images/DipityMobile.jpg

I've seen a couple of those driving around here. Ford are bought as Company Vehicles or those of us who want a bit of space in the boot (Trunk)

The Taurus is a cross between a Ford Mondeo (I've had one of them) and a Ford Granada (I've driven one of them) in looks.
You're a Braver woman than me in owning a White Car. :bbeek:

Braver still, is my DH who drives around in a car decorated with butterflies :rofl:

We didn't have much of a choice re: the colour. We just happened upon the car at the right time and selling for the right price. It's a 2000 but it only had 12,000 klms (approx. 7500 miles) on it. It was like getting a new car for the price of a second hand and, it hasn't given us a problem yet (knock on wood)!

Oh I love those Elizabeth! I will so have to check that out. Steve just bought me a mama mobile (AKA a mini van!) So I need to do somethign to make it a little more exciting. And the van is in white. Not my first color choice, but yet well, it's what they had for the price we wanted.

Yes you are a real momma now! It won't be long until the back is filled with loose cheerios, McDonalds kid's meal toys and soccer balls :)

I'd love to add more butterflies to our car but DH tells me that it would be pushing it :rofl:

I have a cute little pink teddy bear and a rosery that was my moms. I was going to bury it with her when she passed, I forget, so I hang it in my review as a reminder that she is always with me

OMG you don't want baby Ryan playing football do you? LOL Soccer is the in sport right now ... and there is less likelihood that he could get hurt "real bad" LOL

My son plays goalie .... and I cringe every time I watch a game. I want to beat up all those nasty boys that are shooting at him! It's not just the opposing team either - look what his own team did to him after they won the championship. That is "my baby" under that pile of mean mean boys!

ETA - sorry not car related at all! LOL

Heres a couple of Pictures of Fords at Dagenham.
Which is about 30 Mile from my Home.
I'm not sure if the site is still fully running. There have been a few Lay-offs. But this is the Biggest Ford Site in the UK.

The First Picture is the Diesel Engine Department.
The Second is the site from the air.
