Well, I guess if you’re going to get hit by a car, you might as well do it with a little bit of style, right? In the various instances that I’ve been hit, bumped, and lightly dinged by motor vehicles, I’ve never been particularly impressed with what the person was driving. Now a Bentley, with that little winged “B,” that’s something to brag about.
Of course, no one wants to get hit by anything, and sometimes you take a lot more with you than bragging rights.
British car manufacturer Bentley this week announced that it is recalling the hood ornament from 820 cars. A Bentley dealer reportedly discovered that the spring mechanism underneath the Winged B has a tendency to malfunction and may not retract during an accident.
A spokesman for the company called the recall “rather theoretical,” since the ornament has yet to injure anyone.
