Interesting that someone else has the same one, but my is Stitch! From Disney's Lilo and Stich. At this point I have two - a stuffed one that sometimes rides in the car, and an antenna topper one who is holding on. He has his teeth and hands (paws?) wrapped around the antenna and it looks like he is being dragged in the wind. I have gotten a lot of comments on him. Sorry I don't have a picture. Looks really good with the Electric Blue car. My kids want me to get STITCH as my license plate. He is my hero... (OK, so I am a little off!)

<grin> you're in good company.. my boyfriend has the same obsession with Stitch... and a bright blue audi S4 with more than a few things in common with the critter

He's going to insist that I ask you where on earth you found the antenna topper, you know. I'm sure he'd really love to have one.

My mascot is currently scrat from Ice Age... we'll see what decorates the car when I finally get it, though.

My mascot is regardless of what car I drive, he represents my driving style: a little green and yellow beanie baby Turtle. I'll do a photo-shoot with him soon, so you guys can see him, he's the bomb! We've been riding together for years; sometimes I get him in trouble with the law when I get "happy right foot", but Turtle is "O wise one"!

Cheers,
Ryan

Everyone, meet Turtle:

Turtle, meet the members of MCO! (Turtle says "Good Afternoon&quot

Turtle is my Motoring Navigator, he has the entire United States road system memorized...sometimes he just won't tell me though!

Cheers,
Ryan

>>Most of us have some sort of MINI mascot, that's just the kind of people we are. I want to know what rides with you in your MINI, including the story behind it and pics if possible, I bet there's some great ones out there! I'll start by offering the story of mine...
>>
>>My MINI mascot is Blue Lizard. Blue Lizard was the favorite toy of a 5-year-old kid named Riley, the son of a buddy of mine. When I first got the MINI last July, I drove it over to show it off, and when I was about to leave, Riley yelled to wait and ran back in the house. He came out with a little blue plastic lizard, which according to his dad was his most extra favoritest toy. Riley handed the lizard to me and said "Here, take him with you in your minicar" Both me and his dad carefully asked if he really wanted to give up his favorite blue lizard, and he said, and I quote, "Yeah, Blue Lizard wants to see the world, and if he goes in your minicar then he can see the world and keep you safe at the same time."
>>
>>Well, I didn't have to be told twice, and me and Blue Lizard have been a MINI team ever since. I show him the world, and he keeps me safe, or at least he has so far. He rides on the dashboard, and he never ever slips even when I do crazy "wheeeeeee" turns, I guess his big paddle feet keep him in place. And whenever I go over to my friend's house, Riley always makes a point to go out and visit with Blue Lizard, apparently they discuss all the places Blue Lizard has been. It's like something out of Toy Story!

No specific Mascot, but out daughter keeps a little plastic "Reggie" and "Squid" from Rocket Power in the back seat. They have removable skateboards. She like them to use the back seat as their own personal half pipe when we motor.

I used to have a "Pound Puppy" mascot in my car in high school (a 75 Super Beetle) he was velcroed on top of my radar detector.

Blue Lizard says "Reep Reep" which is lizardese for "Absolutely, would love to meet a fellow reptile!"

I am still in search of a mascot for Priscilla (the MINI) but in her predecessor there was a door dinosaur and reminders from Cape Hateras and Haystack Rock (car was at both locations within one year with an outstanding cross country trip without using the interstate ).
The Land Rover (Mehetabel) went for about 6 months without a mascot until I realized that she was lonly sitting out in the cold at night and was acting up (like a dog that "forgets" its house training because it wants attention) so she aquired a friend to keep her company, a pink "beanie baby" style flamingo named Beaker. Mehetabel has been much better behaved ever since

My daddy is my MINI mascot

I've got one of his dog tags hanging from the rear view and his old claspy-hand Alf clinging to my sunroof screen for dear life. Since the story is a depressing one, I'll spare you all the details and instead allow you to focus on charming Alf.... with the wind in his fur, one eye looking out for Melmack and the other patrolling for wayward street kitties...

I have a stuffed Neko-Bus hanging from the rear view mirror, a small Domo-Kun hanging off of my CD holder, and another Neko-Bus hanging off of the toggle switch guards...

And Speed Racer license plate frames...

So your guess is as good as mine as to which one quailfies as a mascot..

Turtle is speechless, I think he's mildly amused, however

Finally a picture of Eek. He usually faces the other direction, but when I told him picture time he wanted to show off his best side.

My mascot is a bobble head chihuahua on my dashboard. I had to attach him with velcro becuase he kept falling off. It's pretty funny to watch him bob when I drive. I bought him at one of my alltime favorite stores Archie McPhee I haven't named him yet so I'm open for suggestions.

Oh never. By the power of velcro, he can stay in place and still do his balancing act on the twisties.

After taking delivery of my MC I decide my original plush monster was too big. I wanted my mascot to be up in the front with me so I went with this lil green frog (haven't named it yet)
