Around here it's Jeeps & ducks. But it doesn't bother me

I've never understood the DONK fad., but what I really don't get is wrapping it an advertisement for Cap't Crunch or Skittles or some other bs.
Saw something the other day I've never seen before, a spoiler on top of an SUV.

It may be a wind deflector for towing a high trailer. I've seen quite a few around here on 250-450 class pickup trucks that pull huge horse trailers on the highway.

I've always wondered how they stay on the dash? Nothing stays on my dash, but then again when my kids were in car seats they would put their hands in the air and pretend they were riding a roller-coaster.
I don't recall our 1978 CJ7 having a dash that anything could sit on. I suppose I could put ducks on the dash mounted rifle carrier of our current jeep.

There's some high performance/sporty SUVs with small spoilers, from the factory. I've seen some obnoxious aftermarket ones too, which is ridiculous on your Kia Sportage.

My truck came from the factory with a 'spoiler' on the tonneau cover.
It acts as a diffuser to create a low pressure area behind the truck to reduce drag and increase fuel economy.
The height of the cowl induction style hood also changes the air flow to reduce air resistance at speeds above 40 MPH.

Hi-Lift jacks mounted to the hoods of Jeep Wranglers. Given the size and weight of these jacks, it seems like a logical place - until you try to open and prop up the hood. Removing the jack first has its own issues.
Not a modification, but a worthless and potentially dangerous decoration: crystals, jewels and other doo-dads glued to steering wheels and dashboards. If the air bag goes off, you've got a Claymore mine in your steering wheel.
