I imagine “we won’t let you buy anymore and we won’t service the one you have” is the cudgel they use. That would be enough for 99% of Ferrari owners.

If you’re one of the very few that don’t care about the hit on resale value and hassle of finding a private mechanic, I imagine they use legal threats. If those don’t work, they rely on shot head tifosi to write mean things about you online.

Probably this. Meanwhile, Lamborghini will make you a custom car that looks like a sci-fi antagonist's spaceship and name it after your son if you pay them enough money. I'm like 99% certain that if you rolled up to Lamborghini's headquarters with the engine out of an F40 and said "build me a car around this," they'd do it. They'd probably make custom heads that say Lamborghini instead of Ferrari though.

Is it bad that this doesn't really faze me at all?

Like, the brake pad appears to still be nominally on the rotor. That's good! I've helped friends change brakes where at least one pad was just completely MIA. TWICE.

I want to believe that the company motto for Lamborghini is still "gently caress Ferrari" and they'd do this out of spite and obligation to the memory of Ferruccio Lamborghini.

I think Ferruccio Lamborghini would be pissed about a Ferrari badge on a Lamborghini, as story goes that Ferruccio was unimpressed with the build quality of his Ferrari road car and old Enzo told him to go and stick it.

Iirc he had a Ferrari with clutch problems. He took it apart and it was the same clutch he used in his tractors. Words were exchanged and now we have Aventadors.

I've had pads do that when both the pad and the disc are worn enough.
Yes, I let it go a little too long. In my defense, it was my girlfriend's (now wife!) '78 Celica, and I hadn't got up to speed on its maintenance yet.
Was stopping, the car lurched suddenly because it stopped, well, stopping, on that side, as the pad fell out on the ground. Fortunately was already almost stopped, and also almost all the way to her grandparents' house, to which we were going. I just drove it very gingerly the few more blocks, and did a pad slap in their driveway, then did a proper job later, at home.

Apparently merely owned a Lamborghini of any kind is enough to forever disqualify you from being able to buy a limited-edition Ferrari, so...

Well, I do like that particular shade of ultrablue on the interior. And if that headliner is glittery lights, I am a sucker for glittery lights. If I was 18 and had a zillion dollars, I'd probably get one and love it.
