I have two strands of green Mardi Gras beads that were thrown at a Renaissance festival years ago, and my staff parking permit.
I have a very small windchime. It is only about 3 inches long and doesn’t even register in my peripheral vision. It makes New England potholes a teeny bit less unpleasant as it tinkles merrily away while my suspension system and tires take a beating.
I have my original Wii wrist straps… you know the ones that would break and kill people. Mine never did.
I have a couple of strands of beads wrapped around my mirror shaft (sentimental reasons). They are arranged in such a way as to not interfere with my vision.
I have the penis bone of a bear, with the two lower canines and two claws from the hind foot. See?
The only way that would block my view of a pedestrian would be if said pedestrian happened to be airborne and flying directly over my hood at the time. That hardly ever happens.
Nothing. Suburban Plankton has a rosary. I drove his car once and almost got into an accident because I was distracted by the way the rosary moved going around a sharp turn. That is why I have nothing…I’m easily distracted.
I have a small glass penis hanging from a bit of purple rat tail silk. It’s on account of Hermes, god of travellers, roads, boundaries and messengers–it keeps me safe on the roads, sort of a travelling herma y’see…
I don’t have anything. I’ve thought about it, but somehow never actually got around to it. At one time I had the whistle I used for playground duty, but it was on a really long black string so it didn’t get in the way of anything. It did amuse me to watch the way it moved when the car stopped or turned.
I have a standing “backstage pass” for concerts by a band I am close friends with, and a fan club necklace for another band. The pass is on a long black lanyard and hangs down to the radio, the necklace is short and hangs just under the mirror itself. And I have a pink organza ribbon rose with a brown feather tucked into its petals on my visor (gifts from young friends.) None of it interferes with my vision at all.
I’ve got an equal-armed cross charm that one of my best friends gave me for my 21st birthday. I’m a sucker for equal-armed crosses. It’s red and outlined in white and black.

The family car (I’m car-less myself) has a bit of copper wire with glass beads dangling from the mirror. It came off a scented candle from a wedding goody bag. I’m not sure why it’s there, other than my mom thinks it’s pretty.
Same here – the only thing I ever had hanging from my rear-view mirror were parking passes. I still have one, hanging in my basement. The parking lot disappeared before I left that company. I lost the other one, which was probably a useless pass anyway – it enabled me to park at a lot blocks away from the building I worked in. I probably could’ve parked closer on the street.
A crystal necklace (OOOoo rainbows!), a chunk of trinitite and my handicap placard.
I have Spongebob Squarepants. He was supposed to be a cat toy, with a suction cup so he could bobble around. I figgered that suction cup would work great just stuck on my windshield in the middle, under the mirror, and it does! I love it. Makes me feel quite youthful and always provides a giggle.
Nothing now.
When I was a teenager, I used to have a cut crystal hanging from my rearview mirror - they were very popular in my area, about the size of a small plum.
Until one day, I stopped quickly, it swung backwards, and then swung forwards, and cracked my windshield :smack: .
I took it down after that.

I don’t see dice myself, from Puerto Ricans or anyone else. A couple years back, though, it seemed the Puerto Ricans around Orlando seemed to love to hand CDs from their rear-view mirrors (they really stick out when you’re following it from behind.)
I have my college graduation tassle. I use it as a zenith-nadir indicator. (Kind of a perpendicular turn & bank indicator.)
Around my area it seems that a lot of folks seemingly from Arabic backgrounds tend to hang CDs like this. I can’t for the life of me figure out why.
An AC/DC air freshener that ain’t so fresh anymore.
I use to have fuzzy Micky Mouse dice my hubby got me for my birthday/honeymoon present, but I think they got towed off with my old Blazer. 
I don’t know what to call it. It’s purely decorative.
It looks like an ornament. It’s circular, and the two sides of it are bent to make it look 3-D. In the center are two hummingbirds and a sapphire-colored stone…the whole thing is a lovely blue. i got it at a flea market.
