What happened to hood ornaments?

What happened to hood ornaments?

Pedestrian safety standards and insurance claims.

They became associated with road disasters like this. You can still see the hood ornament base left after the ornament itself no doubt fell off.

Niggers stealing them

looks better than new soap bar econoboxes will. they're gonna look so awful in a few decades roflmao

Not quite nigger proof

Especially the Jaguar had the tendency to bite pedestrians.
So they were removed.

Came to post this

NO BULLY THE ORNAMENT!

Nothing. You can still get them.

They look dated to the average peter pleb, which is 99% of drivers

Benz and Rolls are possibly the only producers left.

They don't really work so well on the obese, angry cars of today.

Must be handy on the barge sized sedans to know where the nose is exactly though!

Never really put much thought into it like that. I always park so far away from everybody else and everything.

muh pedestrians, think of the children ;_;

Alright, you have a 20-year-old car and a 3-year-old car. Which is going to break more bones if you punch the body?

Ive tried it on my rented rolls royce, i gripped it so hard as it went down the force by the pulling ofthe badge is too much you would end up breaking ur fingers if u didnt let go lol or most likely ur fingers would get pulled down with it so in other words its pretty tough as expected

>2017
>cars being able to sever fingers by design
What the fuck.

I dare you to try it. Enjoy your broken fingers.
It pulls it in pretty fast and with a lot of force!

Nig nurse would say like lol damn thing said "YEET boi you woulda thought"

Can confirm
Plus the darn thingy is polished so real slippery

>Nig nurse would say like lol damn thing said "YEET boi you woulda thought"

Well, you underestimate german mechanism and get a consequence

You're not going to try prying an ornament free with just your hand in the first place. They're going to get a tire iron and bash the front end if it retracts. So it's still a stupid feature.

EU regulations

Personally I think EU regulations are basically communism
