But to answer your question, I personally don't like putting anything on my rear tow hook, so none.

^His plate is custom... anyways. Who gives a fuck.

What's hanging from my tow hook? Jack shit. Maybe some dirt and rubber from the last event.

Hanging shit is gay. Don't be gay! Spread awareness!

lol..why is everyone alwasys so paranoid about not showing their license plate in their pics. when you're driving around you're literally advertising it on the road.

i think i read somewhere that the whole hanging something from your towhook was started in japan. i believe they did it for good luck.

i personally like to think of it as bait. like we drive nissans, and if we hang a honda, mitusbishi, or sti emblem it's kind of like a lure.

i personally don't hang anything from mine, but it's a pretty unique thread idea.

for example, if someone were to look up my old license plate number on my old car, there are some things on there i wouldnt want other people to see as far as what ive been pulled over for.

A little history on how this started in Japan by Antonio Alvendia

"For some reason, it has become some sort of trend for people to hang toys or other items of thier cars' rear tow hook, but the origination of this trend came from the Bosozoku (street gangsters with fixed up cars) in Japan. It was a Bosozoku trend to hang a small tin bucket from thier rear tow hook to show off how low thier cars were- they got the idea from seeing cement trucks in Japan, wich always had a bucket hanging off the rear of the truck. The cement trucks used the bucket as a "catch can" of sorts, so that excess cement from the truck would'nt spill onto the pavement. Inspired by this, the bosozoku trend setters attached small buckets to thier rear tow hooks to show how low thier bucket could hang- if your car was so low that the bucket could scrape on things as you were driving , they thought it was cool as hell."

I'm glad some people know where hanging items from the tow hook originated from.

There have been a few threads about this already. The Honda emblem was a popular one in the threads I've seen, but seriously, that's just asking for your car to get keyed.

More like "I want that (insert car part here)." Looks up address from plate and poof your car is gone or up on blocks.

Or if they are a douche bag. "hello, highway patrol? A Nissan with plate number ABC-123 just waved a gun at me and exposed himself. Please stop him."

Well if you live in California, I could check your locality by just having your liscence plate numbers. I wouldn't know where you exactly live but I will know where that 1-10 mile radius you live around. Thats without using the background history either, which you have to pay to see.

dude, i've got a shoebox full of random kid's meal plushes. i swap em out when i get bored. got em all from the thrift store for like $1.50 so whatevers.

the way i see it, its no different than having a sticker thats a pterodactyl with giant nuts. or an "industrial sex and magic show" sticker....its all in fun.

Yea thats my roommates car.

get some!
And hanging shit off tow hooks as 100% lame.

I was kinda indifferent towards them, but when I came across a little traffic cone I knew I'd cave. I don't leave it on there all the time. Just goes on for meets and track days. (it's on a padlock) I had it on @ gymkhana and got a few compliments on it, considering I was resetting track cones :p
