But then would it really be a hood ornament? I guess not. The Spirit of Ecstasy, the Rolls Royce mascot, recently received a limited edition makeover for the New York Auto Show, and how we missed it, we just don't know. But anyway, it's a Rolls, so you expect it to cost a pretty penny, right? Well, how about 20,000,000 of them. Yes, this ornamental accessory for hood adornment will set you back $200,000. That is if you can buy one. This one-of-a-kind hood add-on was commissioned by Manhattan Motorcars and is encrusted with 150 carats of d-quality diamonds. In addition to a ton of tiled diamonds, this special edition hood ornaments made out of platinum and some other rare metals we're not even sure we've ever heard of. Our question is — at what point do you stop calling it a hood "ornament" in favor of a hood "masterpiece?" [ Epoch Times via Bornrich ]

After writing the headline above, the following question occurred to me: does Lynyrd Skynyrd clearly pronounce the word naked as nekkid in the song "Saturday Night Special?" Such is the sort of puzzler we contemplate on a Monday morning, but don't let such stuff distract you from the breathtakingly huge variety of weird hood ornaments you can buy from Mascots Unlimited. Hippos, hedgehogs, even a chrome thistle . The prices are breathtaking, too, but you get what you pay for with hood ornaments... or do you? Seeing this stuff reminds me we're due for another DOTS Hood Ornament poll! [Mascots Unlimited]
