This is odd for us but Ferrari has similar contracts.

People may remember how Deadmau5 had to give up on his "Purrari". He was threatened with a lawsuit by Ferrari who was unhappy with his Nyan cat livery and colors. And this is not a one-off, Ferrari won't let you paint it in non-Ferrari colors and I believe they have restrictions on who you resell it to.

Deadmau5 replaced the car with a Japanese sports car that was happy for the marketing opportunity.

How can that shit conceivably hold up in court? What's mine is mine.

I bet someone determined could fight it but it would cost, and take time, and good luck getting your expensive, maintenance-heavy car serviced during and after the whole ordeal.

Oh yeah, I'm by no means advocating to get a Ferrari. 🤣

Those cars are garbage.
