Wondering because I think hood ornaments were, I think, not to be used by DOT standards (FMVSS pedestrian collision safety). It is so dang big that a pedestrian would never make it up that high when you run em over... maybe a thick layer of foam padding underneath would be more important than not having a hood ornament?

I don't foresee anything new in my future as far as vehicles are concerned. Pictured is my new truck.

Even tho it was only a paint job and rims the retro truck GM did a couple years ago looked better. I saw one infront of the GM dealer here while driving by and it got my attention. I wouldn't notice that Ram.

Diesel, last I knew that's the only way to get a gear shifter on a Dodge (Ram) truck. Helluva price to pay.
