Palatkik Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ok I understand why a gold colored Thai car I saw the other day has a sign on the back saying "This car is silver colored" though I don't think I would like to explain this to someone back home. But why do some cars have cuddly toys hanging off the back car bumper these days getting dragged through all the shit and grime? Anyone tried this at home?

Flashermac Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 The doll or toy dangling from the rear bumper is some sort of new fad. Only started seeing it a few months ago. The reason ... who knows? Monkey see, monkey do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 The doll or toy dangling from the rear bumper is some sort of new fad. Only started seeing it a few months ago. The reason ... who knows? Monkey see, monkey do. I believe it started in Korea, it is to do if the car has been involved in accident that has caused a fatality, the Bear (or other cuddly thing) is supposed to ward off Ghosts. Thai's being Thai's now think that if they hang a toy from their rear axle they won't have an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I believe that Zob65 has one dangling of the back of his new Triumph Bonneville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
