Awesome response from Nissan. I'm curious as to how Ferrari can tell him what he can and can't put on the car. Anyone know the details?

It wasn't so much the wrap, I think. It was he replaced the emblems. The dancing horse one with a dancing cat, and on the back where it says:

f e r r a r i

He put:

p u r r a r i

There is a huge discussion about it - due to ownership. Are you free to do what you want with a piece of your own property?

Apparently some news agencies tried to call Ferrari about it, and the person on the end of the phone basically said "no english" and hung up the phone. :P

Drama.

Wow. Never heard of something like before. I wonder if you sign some kind of contract stating you won't make any modifications to the emblems or something. I can't think of any reason Ferrari would be able to tell someone what they can do with a car that is outright owned by someone.

Technically, no different than "debadging."

I bet they threatened to never sell him another Ferrari if he didn't take it off.

I'd like to see the actual letter. I think you're right. Bet it is trademark related. Still a **** move and +1 to Nissan.

Oh no! He won't be able to purchase anymore Ferrari in the future if he doesn't comply?!! F that. Should've pissed on their emblem and put it on YouTube. Plenty of competition out there to purchase your exotic car.

No English? Hard to believe such a high end company that doesn't employ any English speaking employee.

deadmau5 just told disney to lawyer up over the threat to sue him for his head piece he wears and logo.

pretty sure he probably told ferrari to fuck off.

just sayin....
