While this is an asshole move, companies like Ferrari do stuff like this too. They, for example, do not allow certain modifications on their cars and if they find out that you have done them, they will ask you to restore those parts back to originals. It is unreal how much car companies try to get from us.
Papa Enzo knows best. Don't understand how that's legal unless it's some sort of lease agreement
Well, you're welcome to not buy a Ferrari if you don't like the strings attached, right?
Sure. But ownership comes with certain rights by definition. If you don't have those rights, you don't really own the thing. You're just paying to subscribe to their club.
Right, the club being Ferrari owners. They maintain a specific image of owner, and part of that image is "if you don't like it then go buy another car". I think it's silly too, but for what they cost it's not as if you're bumming for a daily driver at unfavorable APRs.
Sure. But, again, just don't buy it if you don't like the conditions. Not sure why that's so controversial to say.
I think because it goes against the concept of ownership that you can't do certain things with it after you buy it. I get that with digital or conceptual things, though I don't agree with that either in many cases. But not being allowed to alter, resell, or repair a physical object you bought can be frustrating.
It's because they have a brand to protect and that brand belongs to Ferrari, not the owner of the car.
I am also not welcome to buy a Ferrari because
Implying this, less attractive than a Lego brick, thing is as desirable as a Ferrari is.... Insane
Ferraris are dogshit just the same as this.
Can I mount a towing hook for my camper?
One of the things they don't allow is removing their logos and the ferrari name off the car, so I suppose adding a hook would be fine. I don't know if those cars are built for it, but I do think they would allow it.... Felt really stupid typing that, as if they need to "allow" anything on a car you would own.
