I have an unscientifically proven theory based on observation that the quantity of collections--

--stuffed animals, baseball hats, bobbleheads, etc--

you have in your rear window is inversely proportional to your ability to drive.

That, and annoy people behind the car's owner.

Or, they're not stuffed animals: they're anthropologists from another planet, studying us.

Or, some of them are low enough so that all they impede is the driver's view of the car's trunk lid.

Or, they're intended to be decoration.

Or, they're intended to give one driver something besides the rear of a car to look at during gridlock.

Or, something else.

Me? I don't know: but this was an interesting exercise.

I had a stuffed gorilla in my car for the longest time. He was the Great Car Spirit that protected my car from harm and bad odors. He also masked from hot girls the fact that my car looked as if it every fluid on the planet had been spilt inside of it. All hail the Great Car Spirit!

LOL I've just never understood it. Especially during the stuffed animal crazes of Pound Puppies or - damn, what were those stupid little bear things or whatever they were that a mind-boggling craze for a few years that now most people have saved in Rubbermaid crates (or displayed still in the rear window of their cars??)

Well the rear has space and obviously space is meant for using/decorating (not that I myself have teddy bears)

they have pics on peopleofwalmart.com that have them on the outside of the vehicle. I have no clue why that is so childish in my opinion

The last time I checked a car was for driving and stuffed animals was for babies to play with, when did stuffed animals start riding and smelling gas, they don't work they just take up space.

Not being in the driving seat is an equivalent to being stuffed animals - powerless, harmless, lifeless!

I heard someone saying that the owners were not given toys when they were young.

I know one driver (not me) that would put a stuffed dog on the back window thinking that drivers behind him/her would slow down and not rear end them ... I have argued until my head is blue that all it does is make drivers drive closer to your car to see if that is a real animal or not, and is at more risk to bumping into you because they are not paying attention to the road - but, their stuffed dog.,
