I have a little plush Eeyore on mine, I do.
I was initially going to buy Pooh, but in the hopes that looking out a window might cheer him up, I adopted Eeyore, instead.

Gumby in all his green glory has his arms wrapped around the stem of the mirror and kinda hangs there. The little guy has been in that car since I was about 5 when my mother used to drive it. Pokey used to be on top of the mirror but his legs broke and he had to be put down.

I don’t have anything hanging from the mirror, but I do have two really colorful stickers in each upper corner of the windshield. One is a big sun, and the other is a big butterfly, and they both have little pictures of different sorts of brightly colored hippie things inside them.
Everything I touch must be Chris-ified.
Damnit, you people are SO tacky! Dangling animals from mirrors? Stickers??
Of course, it’s all personal taste, but there’s NOTHING hanging form my rear view mirror. Ever.
Manny years ago a friend, during the course of some drunken evening, found herself in possession of a black disk (~3") with a white Playboy bunny on it, and she hung it on my rear view mirror. I thought it was funny, so I left it there for a few weeks, until the number of people willing to ride in my car worked its way to zero.
I did have some chance encounters involving folk with whom I don’t normally interact. Apparently that was a sort of “Hiring Now” sign.
A pair of fuzzy dice (in a tiger stripe pattern) and a parking pass for my high school.

I have a $70 red letter (“R”) hanging on my mirror. That’s what my employer charges me to park in their lot when I come to work to earn the money they pay me.
Back when I had my Eagle, I had this really huge, fake, cheesy pink rose that I snagged from a fake flower arrangement-thingy at McDonalds. The stem had wire in it, so I sort of coiled it around the mirror…it was cool. I wish I still had it, it would look really neato in my Caddy. Now, all I have is one of those little paper VFW poppies. I might have to make a journey to that McDonalds again…
Don’t mean this to sound pissy, but stuff hanging from the rearview mean distracts me. Purely individual quirk…
That said, I do have a dead mink cuddled in the glove insert in my Bronco: Maynard by name. (He origninated, or terminated, I guess, on one of those ghastly 1920’s fur stoles.) By processes best left unsaid, he ended up as Official RoadKill and TripCompanion in my car.
Actually, he’s great company, though he has startled a few passengers. It’s habit now; every time I get out of the Bronc I reflectively say, “Guard the car, Maynard”. And he does. It hasn’t been stolen ONCE, and the fact that it’s a rusted old workhorse has nothing to do with it.
Sheesh, I’m sicker than I thought.

Well, on the front of my mirror there’s a new Ford Ranger hanging on it. Does that count?
A green pine-scented evergreen silhouette thing.
You find one in every car.
{wink}
You’ll see.
Mine is Strawberry and it’s in the little space under my fancy AM radio.
No.
Nothing hanging, it’s too distracting especially the swinging things. I do have a little ‘Chilly Willy’ stuffed fella sitting on the dashboard and he has a light up compass in his lap. Does that count??
I’ve got a little Cabbage Patch fairy godmother pocket doll in my open ashtry (I don’t smoke).
I talk to her in heavy trafic, and ask for a better pumpkin.
You gotta problem with that?
A small wooden cross, given to me by a college friend after a trip to Mexico. It survived an accident that totaled my previous car, so I felt a need to pass it on.
And just the other day, I added some cheap Mardi Gras beads given to me at Starbucks. Yes, Starbucks. In May. Go figger. No, I didn’t flash my breasts; they were having some bizarre “Mardi Gras in May” promotion and giving them away with every drink. Um…okay. I hung them on the rearview mirror for lack of another place to put them; they are distracting, so they’ll likely come down in the near future.
(spacing mine)
Eh, the beads, or your breasts?
I mentioned in the collecting thread about my collection of lighthouses. My rearview mirror has a crystal with an etching of a lighthouse on it. Along with 2 cards from casinos I go to occasionally. I rarely win.

I have a disco ball hanging from mine. When it catches the light just right… magic
Damn, Koffing beat me to it. I have a disco ball hanging from my mirror. When the light hits it, I have to sing something by Donna Summer. It’s a rule.
