Wow
Ferrari kinda sucks in this regard, but I can see
their point if you are making money off their brand in some way.
Now in
Dallas I bought my first (and so far only) Porsche at "The Porsche Store",
which I thought was about the coolest name for a toy store that you could
have, and one of the few times I left the dealer plate surrounds on one of my
cars.
They later changed their name to Boardwalk Porsche (to form a
monopoly with the Park Place dealership south of them?) Dunno, seemed a
bad move, but with a grocery getter in their lineup like the Cayenne it makes
sense to no longer have a toy store name...

Stuttgart Gang of Five in the mid 80's and rather than re-do the David &
Goliath scene, well, maybe more like the ant and King Kong, Vots changed to
the ProShop - and that's how it remains to today.

Sorry to hear this! What about all the car pictures
out there that show a horsey or script?

Again, my nonlegal opinion would be if it's an emblem on the
vehicle or a banner behind it in the picture, I don't think they would
brother anyone about that. If you use any auto manufacturer's name or
trade mark in any situation that makes it look like your business is
connected with them without their permission that will get their
attention. I am also connected with Corvette clubs and they can't use any
Chevrolet Corvette symbol in their club logo or literature without
Chevrolet's permission. I know it happens, but unless the club comes to
their attention Chevrolet probably won't do anything. Like I said, the bad
thing is, if they do file suit then it's definitely attorney time. This
not legal advice, I am not an attorney. (CMA statement) Randy
