    Well, sort of.

    The hood/bonnet ornament may not retract fully in an accident potentially hurting a pedestrian in a head on collision with one, if it is rusted to begin with. But if this was a Toyota, I am sure the headline would be equally dubious.

    I would speculate that more people have died as a consequence of the emissions that the Bentley puts out than have been impaled by a rusty hood ornament.

    I have read reports of Bentley drivers getting out of their cars to club baby seals with rusty hood ornaments.

    Or I just made that up. I'm not sure.

    It's not rust. It's dried blood.

    Pffft....Bentleys.

    I am driven in a Rolls Royce and do not associate with those "common" Bentley owners.
    While we are chatting, do you have any Grey Poupon? I seem to have run out.
