Default What do I do?

I have been accumulating all of these dash plaques from car shows. They have double sided tape on them, so what do you guys do with them. My console is starting to overflow!

I don't take them or the goody bag nor the trophy, if I am selected. I don't collect stuff like this and tell them to give it to a pack rat.

I've never seen anyone put them in their Corvette.

My kids will thank me when they trash "my" valuables.

Put them up in your garage. Just an idea.

I like that idea. My first hobby is tournament skeet shooting. When I started, the idea of a belt buckle was great, now keep the trophy or buckle and give me the cash.

Use them to make a mobile. Belt buckles work well for this too.

I've used fishing tackle and mono-filament line to rig up a big collection of laminated passes from my previous life of concert tours. It's hanging in a stairwell.

The snaps and swivels let you un-hook an element for a closer look.

You could stick the dash plaques (assuming they are smallish) back-to-back trapping a piece of line between them.

I also like the frame 'em and hang 'em up method of display.

Make a display for your garage wall (not your car as that makes you look like a newbie). After twenty some years of collecting those things, I just store mine in a box. Sometimes I think I should just throw them out.

I have one of those big white storage cabinets in the garage - perfect place to stick them.

I paste those things on my tool box in my garage along with the manufacturer's logos from mod parts...you know like: Moroso, Vararam, Kooks, etc. When I go to get a tool from my box I'm reminded of some fun times at car shows.
