granted, I feel like sometimes, snobby customer service is a feature/"experience" and not a bug for certain classes of Veblen goods!

- aerostable_slug 4y agoFerrari is like this. You have to be a "good customer" to be allowed to buy certain models. And, if you do something Modena doesn't like (e.g. put a wrap on a Ferrari), they will ban you from ever purchasing a new one from a dealer again. Luxury watches can be similar, where people in various watch forums will proudly describe how they systematically sucked up to an authorized dealer, purchased this and that along with gifts to the salespeople, just to be privileged enough to pay for a specific, extremely high-margin, tchotchke. Not my thing, but more power to them.

Chances are Ferrari didn't exactly suffer from being the most established one from "that magic place where all the supercars come from". Before Lamborghini, it was just some region in Italy that happened be the one where Ferraris were built.
