    Is it really necessary to have the hood ornament retract? How much does that add to the car?

    I think Rolls has been doing that forever.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      It prevents it from being stolen.

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

        Most Rolls I see aren’t being parked in places where the hood ornament is at risk of being stolen…

          When I was a kid, stealing a Flying Lady from a Rolls Royce was considered the pinnacle of auto-souvenir hunting. They do not come off at all easily, or so I've been told.

          I was only joking

            The slightly-more-ambiguous way of phrasing that is: “I have it on good authority that they don’t come off easily”.

            They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                @George-K 😂

                But I guess someone who can buy a USD$32MM car is like me buying a USD$15K car.

                  It needs a few stickers to show that the owner cares about social justice, supports the troops, or is proud of his/her kids.

                    We had the same thing with Mercedes stars.

                    Everybody who was "cool" had a stolen star on his bunch of keys.
