'''Rolls-Royce''' was a manufacturer of high end luxury automobiles, one of which was the '''Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I'''.

==History==
In [[2015A|the original timeline]], on [[October 27]], [[1985]], [[Marty McFly]] was racing [[Douglas J. Needles]] in his [[Toyota Hilux]]. He [[Rolls-Royce accident|collided with a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I]] that had just pulled out of a side street and sustained a broken right arm, a crushed right hand, preventing him from ever playing the [[guitar]] again; and a minor concussion in the crash.<ref>''[[DeLorean Time Machine: Doc Brown's Owner's Workshop Manual]]''; Newspaper story ''LOCAL YOUTH INJURED IN DRAG RACE'', "Doc Brown's Journals: 2015", November 12, 2015; page 90.</ref> The owner of the Rolls-Royce pressed charges against Marty for the damage to his vehicle. As a result, Marty gave up on his musical career and spent decades feeling sorry for himself.

When Marty returned from [[1885]], he and [[Jennifer Parker]] encountered Needles and his [[Needles' gang|gang]] at a red [[traffic light]] near the very spot where he would crash his truck. However, Marty has already learned his lesson, that he should not lose his temper and act recklessly when someone called him "a chicken"; therefore, at the last second, while Needles wasn't looking, he put the truck in reverse while Needles raced ahead when the light changed to green, and witnessed the Rolls-Royce nearly hit Needles' [[Ford F-150]]. It was at this moment that Jennifer saw the words "YOU'RE FIRED!!!" disappear from [[Ito T. Fujitsu]]'s [[fax]] to Marty, a copy of which she had taken from the [[McFly residence (2015)|McFly residence]] in [[2015]]. The dismal events of Marty's future were averted.
