My all " American " lineup.

@chris   To drive a Rolls or Bentley is akin to driving a work of art, both visually, aesthetically, and from an engineering point of view.  My first time in a Rolls Royce I asked my friend if we could all be silent for a moment, as I wanted to see if the advertising I had heard was a come-on, or true.  As it turned out, even rolling down the highway in a heavy rain, the only sound I could hear was the clock.  That is engineering at its finest.  I have never had the same experience in any of the Mercedes Benz autos I have owned, though they are quieter than many cars I have owned. 

And, I do believe you, Chris, re your ownership of many autos.  It seems fitting, somehow.

TRUST ME when I tell you - THAT ALONE would be a JOY for me!  😉 😉    Hearing ANY unwanted noise, squeaks, rattles, chatter, etc., etc.... while driving...   makes a manic out of me!  😠 😠     

Think I'm kidding?     About 10 days ago, I had the Dealership swap out vehicles, in my driveway, because my wife's newer Lincoln produced annoying "clanging sounds"  eminating "somewhere"  in the rear seat area.    I COULDN'T take it!  😠 😠 🤪 

26 hours later the car was returned - nice & quiet.   

- BUT NO WHERE NEAR "Rolls Royce quiet,"  not even close, not even in the same ballpark, street, city, state, or country!    😩 😒
