So here's the neat part! They just make it so that you technically are renting the car and so they can brick it up all they want since technically they own the vehicle!

They'll pull the same crap they do with digital content you "buy." Technically you're just buying a license to use the vehicle, not actually buying the vehicle itself.

I don't disagree, but in this case that is not true, because that is not what the terms and conditions say.
