Rolls Royce is very snobby.

So yesterday I had written an email to Rolls Royce asking for them to send me a hood ornament (see a couple posts below). Anyway they wrote back saying no. Apparently they need to be big snobby jerks and hoard all their hood ornaments, even the ones they wont end up using. Here are the emails:

My letter:

Dear Rolls Royce:

I accept that I cannot buy a Rolls Royce at this stage in my life. But I am young and so I have a lot of time to save. (My grandfather lived to 94, for example, and he only died in an explosion, not from old age.) I think someday I will be able to buy a used Rolls.

But I really like your brand right now. I don’t want to wait. Can you send me a hood ornament from one of your cars? You probably have some left over from the factory that you would otherwise just melt into scrap metal. Give it to me instead. I would like to have it so that I can weld it onto my Ford Escort (which you must admit is also a pretty good car).

Thanks for hearing me out, and thanks for making such great cars.

Sincerely,

G. Swanson

Rolls Royce saying no:

Dear Mr Swanson,

Thank you for your interest in Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to send you a hood ornament from one of our cars.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Yours sincerely,
