OLD SCHOOL...

FUZZY DICE
Origin and history
The practice of fuzzy dice originated in the U.S. in the 1950s and is considered one of the first items sold specifically to be hung from a rear-view mirror. The exact meaning and origin of fuzzy dice is unclear, but one theory[2] holds that U.S. pilots in World War II used dice in their cockpits for good luck, and they continued the practice when they came home from the war.

While fuzzy dice were at the height of their popularity in the 1970s and the 1980s, they have since become increasingly rare. The practice of hanging any object from the rear-view mirror is prohibited in at least one state.[3] A 1993 study showed there to be no correlation between the use of fuzzy dice and the degree of a driver's reckless driving behavior

Sweet.

That study regarding the dice vs driving was a waste of time and money. They needed to do a study on the dice vs IMPAIRED VISION.

CA outlaws anything hanging from the rear view, because of impaired vision. Same goes for stickers on the windows. Technically the only place you can have stickers is in the lower left corner of the back window. I think its 5" max.

It doesn't matter if your vehicle is from another state as well. All CA vehicle laws apply to vehicles in CA, regardless of its state. Keep that in mind if any of you are coming to CA.
