Does anybody here know why people hang cd's in the rear view mirror of the car?

Back when CD players were new technology, it became a status symbol to hang a CD from your rearview mirror.  It indicated that you were "fresh" and had spent a bunch of money aquiring this new gadget.  Yes, it doesn't make much sense, but these are the kinds of people that spend 30k tricking out a Camry worth $500.

Well, as long as you're not selling them to make a profit, it's ok. Just make sure you're not doing anything illegal. I don't see a problem with sharing music like that. It's like if one of my friends brought some CDs over and I ripped the music to my computer. I could listen to their music all I want and they could still keep the CD in their car or w/e. As long as it's legal, you shouldn't feel guilty.

Relax.  When you open the tray you will see that there is a smaller 'inset' to accommodate the mini-CD.  It will rest inside this recess.  When you eject the disk, it will still be there.  \nWARNING; do not use mini-CDs in frontloading car stereos!

This could happen one of two ways:\n\n1) The mirror is made of another material than glass or the usual material used.\n\nOR\n\n2) The mirror has curvatures somewhere along the way creating a distorted image.\n\nHope this helps!

People do it because they're lazy and rude.  They think their need for convenience overrides the law and respect for others.\n\nSometimes, don't you just want to ram your grocery cart into their cars?

I don't know. I hate when I'm driving and someone tries to cut over on me because I guess they forget that they have mirrors.

It's because of the minor imperfections in the placement of the mirrors. Also, because the effect can't be seen without seeing it at an angle, it causes a curve based on your viewpoint.

because the air inside the car is moving with the car

No,no,no....never leave your CDs in any extreme temperatures, especially heat.  CDs get ruined a lot from people leaving them in their cars.

Blind Guardian, you're normal.\n\nBeen there, done that. Because I was so protective of my investment, I was looked upon as somewhat weird by my ex-wife. But I paid that no mind. By the time I was your age, I had hundreds of LPs and 45s and I had a filing system for all of the LPs. I could find an LP with a blind fold on and spun around in a circle for five minutes. Knew when an album was misfiled (god, I hated "looking" for something when it should ALWAYS be "right there."). \n\nMy sound/video discs, handle with care or lose an arm. My kids and my ex-wife now handle discs with the utmost of care, like I do. It's beautiful. :)) I don't understand why people accept discs with scratches, fingerprints. Those discs become unplayable or at best skip or stop playing.\n\nBTW, if you haven't seen the movie Diner, you need to check out the scene with the record collection/music lover, Shrevie. You probably mirror that character. I totally identified with him.

good question.  \n\nKind of like why do we park in the drive way but drive on the parkway?

B/c you never know when stuff can be left on there that should not have been. It also helps prevent identity theft. i have a friend who had a car stolen from him and his insurance paid the car off, and for about 4 years he though it was taken care of. until he tried to buy a house and they would not give him the money b/c they said he had a car repossessed. he had to deal with all kinds of credit companies to get it fixed. it is worth it to check it once a year anyway. it does not hurt your credit if YOU check it.

I once put a friend's car in neutral and moved it.  When he came out to get into it, it was gone and he thought it was stolen, he freaked out.  It was pretty funny.

most but not all,  if you have an mp3 car stereo you can fit ten times for songs on a cd in mp3 format then in standard cd format which means less burned cd's cluttering your car

I always do, because its annyoing when there is a spot but a cart or two is in the way....they also roll and damage cars (victim of this). It's lazy people who don't, and that's annoying. And those who are saying its not laziness, then why don't you put yours away?

Tapes and books work best for me. The "Learn in Your Car" series of tapes is my favorite. You can just leave the cds run for a while on loop and absorb it all subconsciously.

If you were stranded on a desert island, a cd would be useless for entertainment, how would you play it?  I'd rather have a sandwich....good answer from the resourceful person who finds a practical use as signal mirror, etc....
