Default Why do people hang stuffed animals from their bumpers???

From the back bumper, to me, is annoying enough, but I saw a white CR-Z today with a front bumper tow hook with a big spider man doll on it. Is this a cool thing to do or something?

^ Nope.. Doesn't fall into the cool category in-as-much-as a modification is concerned. But, was probably a cheap mod.. Could possibly provide some protection in a front end collision?? I mean the spidey suit and all??

That wasn't a doll - you know how bad the rear-ward visibility is in the CR-Z.
Well, sorry guys - no more Spidey sequels!

It's really just personal choice. It makes your car easier to recognize if your car is a popular model. Mostly I don't think it's considered as cool.
However, this one I do.

Everyone I know who does it, are also very ricey...so I always corralted the 2 together as a rice thing to do, but now a days I am seeing more and more people do it who arent even into cars so I think its just something thats being caught on and I let the rice part of it drop. I saw one the other day of Po...the panda from Kung Fu Panda...it was so dirty you couldnt see the white on it.

I've never noticed one before. If I start noticing them now and start having nightmares, I know who to blame.

You could use the Spidey "Sense" to help avoid front end impacts. In the rear It might even be better then a Back up camera

My spidey senses are tingleing. No dear your just have to go Pee lol

I don't understand it, but I'm willing to embrace it.

What do you think of a line of Pruis badges hanging from the bumper?
