    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

      1. I can’t afford one.
      2. if I could afford it, I would buy something sensible and invest most of my cash for the future. (Land, Gold, etc.)
