lol American cars are so bad even Americans don't like buying them, the US government has to give billions of taxpayers dollars to the American car industry, because American cars are so bad.
plus there is the question, what American car company actually has any money?
they are all broke and if it wasn't for the US government they would all be Chinese now (which would probably mean the design and build quality will go up)|||Rolls Royce jet engines and cars are made by different companies.
You should cast your troll net in the German section. The car company was bought out by BMW long ago. I admit that I've never been a fan of the shape of Rolls Royces. However, I've seen some ugly American cars too.
The jet engines must be OK. Boeing has selected General Electric and Rolls Royce to provide engines for the 787 Dreamliner.|||. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . ,.-‘”. . . . . . . . . .``~.,

Did an Indian king use six Rolls Royce cars to haul trash?
I heard that an Indian (Asian) king, who was insulted by the showroom manager of Rolls Royce, London, in 1920, bought six Rolls Royce cars, and used them for hauling trash. Is it a real story?|||didn't hear anything about it|||Yes, It was Maharaja Bhupinder Singh (12 October 1891, Patiala鈥?3 March 1938, Patiala). He reacted to the refusal of a new order of Rolls Royce by the British Rolls Royce company. But he used his old Rolls Royece to haul garbage dung and filth in Patiala city. This incident was happened in 1930.
|||yup confirmed by Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhupinder_Singh_of_Patiala
|||YES THIS A FACT .
HE WAS THE NIZAM OF HYDERABAD.
U KNOW INDIANS CAN DO ANYTHING TO PROVE THEIR SUPERIORITY.
NEVER INSULT AN INDIAN OR U SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE AFTERMATH.|||No - it was the Sultan of Brunei. It was not in 1920, but much later - may be 1970's.|||don't know but would've loved seeing the face of those executives he showed up

Is it possible to do a handbrake turn in a rolls royce?
i own a 1981 Silver Cloudand i can tell you that it would be impossible. To stop the darn thing takes all four wheel.|||It would be difficult. I don't want to say impossible because I'm sure Top Gear would want to prove me wrong.
A handbrake turn involves putting the car into a rear wheel skid and then accelerating out of it once you're pointing in the right direction. The weight of a Rolls Royce would mean you'd have to be going quite fast to get it into a rear wheel skid and you then wouldn't have enough power to accelerate out. You might be able to point the front end where you want to go, but the car would keep moving in the same direction.|||Will be unless the particular model you try to do it in has a braking control system to prevent skids which newer ones have|||Yes it can be done in any vehicle...

A certain Mr. Banksy has defaced my Rolls Royce, what should I do?
My Rolls has been defaced with the words 'My other car is a hybrid', and signed 'Banksy'. How can I find the guttersnipe who did this?|||Just sell the car for an obscene amount of money !!|||Heh.|||Get it on ebay|||Make a police report and then get the car professionally painted. If you have the money, keep a video camera on the car at night. If the "banksy" really hates you, chances are he'll be back.|||Look on the bright side... at least it's now worth more than it was last week !!|||Don't worry about thanking him... he doesn't do it for the glory.|||Hold on to it for as long as poss!!!!
...or I could take it off your hands!!|||What an actor you are! Mr French wealthy man... in your dreams!
Bravo!
.|||While your chauffeur drives the offended Rolls-Royce, from the back seat nail every hybrid car you see with a jar of Grey Poupon. That should send Banksy the message.|||You're lying.
You should feel blessed if it is authentic.|||Go around the corner from Raffles, you should be able to find him working on his latest 'art work' on the back wall of the club.|||you might be rich now

Why are Harley Davidson still the Rolls Royce of motorcycles?
Could it be the sound,maybe a often copied style,or the mystique whatever still #1 in most peoples eyes|||Rolls Royce because they cost so much? Because they defiantly aren't the most dependable. Who is most people?|||I think it is just a matter of taste or opinion. In my opinion the best bike on the market is Ducati.|||thy're the rolls royce to people who like harleys but if you like japanese/italian sport bikes they're not. I happen to be a huge motocross fan so harley isn't even a player in that field.|||Harley is not just a brand or a motorcycle, but it is a way of life.
It's like the Mods and their Vespas.|||it is all in the brand name|||They are so far from the quality of a RR it 's not even funny.|||Marketing.|||Harleys have now become over priced piece of sh*ts made for yuppies. Every single person I see riding a harley has something to prove. You can't really do anything with these bikes. They are horrible in the twisties, have week top ends and you can't take them offroad. The reall bike enthusiast will ride a sportbike or dual sport. What made harley's popular were the hell's angels and the movie born to be wild. When you buy a motorcycle then drive it 10 minutes to the local starbucks and talk about all the upgrades you've done to it for 3 hours consider yourself a harley owner.|||If you have to ask, you don't and can't understand.
It is for the TRUE HARLEY LOVER! It's either there or it's not.|||boss hoss is better|||?? I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to ride a cruiser.... if i did get one, the yamaha v-star is one of the nicer ones i've seen.|||Maybe its the goofy costumes people feel they need to wear when riding one. Or the antiquated technology and ridiculously low power to weight ratio. Could also be the inflated price tag and high foreign part content (40%+). Then again there's also the requirement to spend an additional $2,000 on loud pipes and a new cam the day after you buy it.|||105 years of tradition creates a loyal following. I personally try to buy American whenever possible.
Anyone who has ever ridden a Harley knows they have a unique feel ,a 6-700 lb. bike that handles almost effortlessly and a ton of torque .
The fact that there is a huge amount of after market accessories available makes them a fun bike to customize, the options are almost endless.
Harley's come in all shapes and sizes ,from the 883 to a Road King with a with a big inch kit, so there is a Harley for every one.
Further ,bikes shows, poker runs and events like Sturgis ,Laughlin, Hollister, Daytona, The Redwood Run ,4 Corners etc. etc. make for endless activities beyond just going for a ride.
These may not make Harley the "Rolls Royce" of motorcycles ,but it's what I like about them and I assume a big part of their popularity.|||Harley Davidson and Rolls Royce, what a complimentary pair.
From flowing lines to other things.
A long time ago, I heard a story of a man who wanted to travel the world. Money being no object, he chose a Rolls Royce. The stated reason was that it was the only automobile at the time that he could get service for all over the world.
Other than Harley Davidson, can you name any other company that enjoys the same reputation?|||cuz the world is full sheep|||A legend in their own minds!!! 2 words Hondas and Ducatis rule..(for me anyways cause I have them) but I would never spend $45,000 just so I can stand around kicking tires with other Harley riders and talk about how much money I've spent. Imagine buying a car that way. Spend $30,000 on the frame and then have to buy everything else extra. I have a blast riding my Shadow Ace and my Duke/Monster and I laugh all the way to the bank. Oh, yes, I also don't have to spend mega bucks to buy the "costume" to look like a bandida-weekend warrior.|||XXON-23....you got it right.|||So many people who would never own a motorcycle hate motorcycles because of loud *** Harley's. They would fall into the rolls royce class only out of need for repair.....|||I never thought I would see Harley Davidon and Rolls Royce in the same question/sentence. It is like comparing a lemon to filet mignon.|||They aren't and never will be.|||I love you guys!
Almost every one of you summed up my hatred of HD's. Over-priced, dinosaur technology, pieces of sh*t. The only thing that's made HD such a well known name is marketing. Period.
