Why is there an association with cars and fuzzy dice?

Fuzzy dice were a popular prize at carnival games in the 1950s. They
were popular with hot rodders and street racers of that era. I
speculate that this was because dice symbolize the risk-taking aspect
of racing.

From the UK perspective, furry dice were very popular, especially in
the eighties, among car drivers of challenged intellectual ability.
The furry dice capital of Scotland was Aberdeen (pronounced locally
with a hard ?A?). This evolved from the influx of oil money into a
young lower social order population of extreme parochialism. The
obligatory vehicle was a Ford Capri (otherwise known as the Crapi), a
particularly horrid example of the marque with absolutely no redeeming
features other than a attraction to little boys. Frequently a furry
diced bedecked rustbucket would pull up along side my motorbike at
traffic lights, the driver intending to impress his ?seatcover? by his
vehicle?s power of acceleration. Rather tragic.

Sweden however is the furry dice void of the world, with Swedes
exhibiting exemplary taste and eschewing dangling statements of
negligible neurone activity.

Why furry dice were adopted by the dumb brigade I really don?t know --
never had the care to ask -- but it was probably inspired (if that is
not a too extreme concept) by the example set by the States. If you
ever heard an Aberdeen accent layered with Yank, it?s not a pretty
sound. ?Fit like ma quine? in a Texan drawl.

However, I too had pink furry dice, strung off the back of my
motorbike, soaked and covered with road filth. They were ?mingin?. It
was of course a statement, lost on those I was making fun of.

Largely the phenomenon has subsided and has been replaced by an even
more odious embellishment -- the megawatt sound system playing brain
numbing ?boom boom boom?, elbow out of the window of course. These
units are substantially more expensive than the fur balls but serve
the same purpose of instantly identifying the lower primates. It does
occur to one that the same result could be obtained at far lower cost
by writing on the forehead with a felt tip pen a short pithy word such
as ****** (begins with ?w? or ?t?).

Basically, to answer your initial question before I got carried away,
the association of car and furry dice served as a pack emblem.
