Oh my god, Nissan you win the internets. Nissan/Deadmau5 presents...OMFGtr

[Jodell88]

So fucking stupid. Nothing screams masculinity like driving a rainbow meme'd car called the Purrari.

Agreed. It should be named the 'punani' instead. :biggrin:

 

[Ns1]

I still don't know why people give a shit about a vinyl wrap and custom decals. Big whoop. It's not like money has hardly anything to do with that. Now, maybe if he'd had Bugatti paint and custom match the interior, I'd be impressed. A wrap and decals on one of the most mass produced Ferraris of all time is meh as hell.

What if he prefers dick? Or likes both?

Then I rephrase my statement to:

I'm sure the dude gets so much dick and pussy being thrown at him that it's falling out of his pockets and he can't even be bothered to pick it back up.

 

[JulesMaximus]

i wish they did

:thumbsup: Agreed.

Both of those cars look completely ridiculous.

 

[Markbnj]

Yeah maybe if you are 60 and want to look like you have manhood problems. I know which one I would rather own, i'll give you a clue, it rhymes with dissan.

Not to mention it costs, what, $100k less? And it will run every day.

Edit: but, I hasten to add, Nissans are butt-ugly and nobody designs beauty into a car the way Ferrari does, with the possible exception of Jaguar.

 

[McLovin]

who gives a fuck about masculinity when you pull 8 digits a year and can drive around in a rainbow meme'd car called the Purrari.

I'm sure the dude gets so much pussy that it's falling out of his pockets and he can't even be bothered to pick it back up.

That dude gets more snatch than a 3 handed gypsy

or

That dude gets more box than the FedEx Memphis distribution center.

 

[Eug]

Both of those cars look completely ridiculously awesome.

:thumbsup: Agreed.

Seriously though, if it'd put a smile on my daughter's face, I'd drive around a Hello Kitty car any day of the week.

BTW, in other news, Hello Kitty is a cat, not a person.

 

[halik]

I think the cease and desist was because he altered their trademark. If ferrari didn't defend the trademark they could lose it.

Heh, mashable says:


Love it.

Yeah, this. Purrari was infringing on their trademark.

 

[n7]

Awesome.

 

[KlokWyze]

i wish they did

lol... sort of agree with this.

 

[Anubis]

I find this all kinds of awesome

 

[Miramonti]

Nissan just topped the list as a company that understands social networking.

Aston Martin > Jaguar

If I were spending Ferrari-type money on a car, I'd get an Aston Martin because I won't be able to drive the Ferrari as fast as it can go, so I might as well have the best looking car.

Aston was the one other marque I considered adding to that list when I typed the reply.

It's worth pointing out that the person who designed the base platform of the DB7 that the current Aston Martin line is based around is now the lead designer for Jaguar, hence the styling cues shared between Aston Martins and the current F-Type. I don't know if I'd go so far as to put their styling above Ferrari, but that's splitting hairs; I'd be pleased as punch to own any of them.

I hope the interiors have gotten better because the '99-'05 jaguar interiors sucked balls.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

sooo, DeadmauFive is really dead? Please?

I liked Aston Martin until Ford changed their grille to look like them. Now there's trademark dilution.

 

[Blitzvogel]

that actually makes sense.

It was their trademark originally, but he altered it to fit his wishes. He's not making any money off of it either.

There's no case here as far as I'm concerned. Was the music group Justice sued over their DVNO video?

In the end, Ferrari will only just make themselves look bad here, and as usual, someone else (Nissan) will run with it and get plenty of cool points.

I hope he keeps them in different pockets, or that's going to make a mess.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Trademark infringement is the weirdest thing. I remember when a guy called Mike Rowe registered mikerowesoft.com, basically a software company in his own name, but Microsoft went after him for it. He kind of got lucky though, instead of being sued he was just ordered to give up the domain, and think it was fairly new so it probably was not that established yet. The worse is companies who just outright sue right away. Talk about your life being ruined if you're not a millionaire.

 

[Printer Bandit]

is it prounced?

deadmouse

or

dead - mau - 5

?

 

[Anubis]

[OverVolt]

The Nissan GTR can beat a ferrari off the line which is all that matters in 'merica

 

[uli2000]

I don't know if Ferrari does it with every customer, but if you buy a high end Ferrari, in effect, you arn't buying it, you are licensing it. I'm thining that's what happened hear. He violated his customer agreement with Ferrari by altering his vehicle.

Hell, Ferrari sells a car, the FXX, that you can't even own. For over $3 million, they keep the car, bring it out to special track days for you, and then take it back to the factory after you've had some fun in it.
