Cena is not exactly sleeping on the grates, either. You can bet that Vince McMahon pays him BIG bucks....especially since he's the WWE's poster-boy for the good-guy role in the ring. You can also bet that he, like Ford, spent big money to settle this in court....lawyers aren't going to give him time for free.

In my eyes, I think it's b_-it, that a car company makes any car in such limited amount, and DECIDE which kind of person is superior-race enough to be authorized to purchase it. We have all the bad things of consumer industry, paired with all the bad things of colonialism.

Being limited in production helps the car retain and increase it's value over time. No different than Ferrari or other supercar makers favoring choosing applicants, most who are previous and or current owners of the brand.

I dont quite get this. Cena settles on a contract, forfeits his earnings to charity but admits no wrongdoing in essentially violating a contract. However the other GT recently sold at an auction, walks away with violating a contract and pocketing the earnings. Not understanding how the process works here, or were the conditions or enforcement terms different for each buyer? Different legal teams and budgets etc?

probably because cena has enough income else where he doesn't need this money and just wanted this to be over, the other gt flippers this is their main business so they are willing to challenge ford on a contract where it wouldn't hold up in court. ford knows it so they back off.

You can be certain that Vince McMahon pays him big $$$$$...plus the royalty money he probably gets from T-shirts and all of the other tems sold with his picture or name on it.
