At my station in life I would not deign to own such a downscale overpriced pretentious vehicle as an RR. My vehicle is superior to a RR in performance, reliability, and even price. But price was the least of the reasons for its selection.

If the author of the article actually owned a Rolls rather than being allowed to drive one for a review, he would have, at a minimum, whipped out his smart phone and called an Uber driver to deliver him from tranquility. The fact that he did not suggests that the whole article was insincere and the author was looking for an angle for an interesting article. Oh No! My Rolls has bad factory service! I'm shocked! (Colonel, I'm shocked, I say shocked, at gambling in Rick's).

By the way. those who actually own Rolls Royces do not refer to them as "Rolls". If they abbreviate the name (which is very déclassé, pardon the French) they invariably refer to the cars as "Royces".
