Why do Mercedes ornaments swivel and move around on a spherical base?

Why do Mercedes ornaments swivel and move around on a spherical base?

Car washing, so it doesn't snap off... would be my guess.

Cadillac emblems do as well. It's so it's harder to accidentally snap it.

...

underrated

Rolls Royce has it too. It's so they can't be stolen or vandalized

All pop up emblem automakers swivel like this. Not just Royce, Benz, Buick or caddy car washing is the big reason. Also people snagging shit on it like a purse

Hood people steal luxury car emblems so that base makes it more durable and harder to steal.

My mom's gotten the emblem stolen off of her 5 series twice when she's parked it near a public school.

Because Gottliebs daughter often swiveled around on his spherical base.

Can take a beating, and it also bends away if you hit someone and they land on it

it seems pretty easy to remove those emblems if you just have some bolt cutters or something

Just

surprised no one said pedestrian safety yet

>Hood people

Just say black people next time

This

They probably usually don't have tools like that just walking around. They use a knife or screwdriver maybe to pry up the BMW emblems and scratch paint up pretty badly doing so. I hate living in the south. Nowhere is really off limits to this stuff.

You're supposed to call them colored people now, shitlord.

Damnit dodge. Even Chevys hood ornament is on a wire and can move around

Because back in the 50's they used to be welded or riveted to the hood so hard people would be impaled into the chest and out through the back in a medium speed crash. I played LA Noire, that was a case in that game.

...

Bitch

I assumed you brought that up so the hood ornament didn't get damaged

/pol/ is to the right

Fuck you Bruce Lee bamboo ain't a tree.

>you have to be /pol/ to call a spade a spade

Fuck you, nigger.

That guy was fucking stabbed though, the hit-and-run was a convenient cover

>hood people
you mean bonnet people?

This guy knows, it's technically grass

kek, what don't video games teach us?

>bonnet people
you mean amish people?

They are on a wire and spring, but you can snap the wire or pull the head up enough to expose the wire and cut it off.

>using racial slurs to look cool on the internet

grow up

>A forest isn't made out of trees it is made out of forest!

so they are harder to break

>in the year of our lord CURRENT YEAR A.D.
Wow, would you look at that. It's the current year.
What a time to be alive.

Not him but that's not how freedom of speech works

The internet is a privilege, not a right.

So they don't break off easily.

Yeah but I didn't want to spoil anything for people who hadn't played it yet you douche

>niggers
>people

You're all wrong!
They're actually crosshaires. The Krauts are planing to invade the world again and they mascerade their war machines as luxury cars, so they can import them in every country in the world.

Hit pedestrian
It never breaks off
It's death proof

This also applies to my dick, because I'm the first wood type.
