Why do Mercedes ornaments swivel and move around on a spherical base?
>>
Car washing, so it doesn't snap off... would be my guess.
>>
>>14904611
Cadillac emblems do as well. It's so it's harder to accidentally snap it.
>>
>>
>>14904814
underrated
>>
>>14904611
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
>>
>>14904611
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.
>>
>>14904611

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
>>
>>14905119
it seems pretty easy to remove those emblems if you just have some bolt cutters or something

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.

>>14908688
You're supposed to call them colored people now, shitlord.
>>
>>14908582
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.

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.

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

>>14911960

The internet is a privilege, not a right.

So they don't break off easily.

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.
