No, a car doesn't have a copyright, its not intellectual property. Come on, you should know better than that.

The name of the car and certain components as well as features have copyrighted names.

The debate, at this point, is not about intellectual property. The debate centers on what rights you have when you purchase a DVD. Are you buying a license or are you buying a material item? If you are only buying a license, you are correct. If on the other hand, you are buying a material item, in this case a single physical version of the item in question, then you are wrong.

If in fact you are buying a license, when is this license agreed to? Did I sign a license agreement when I purchased it? Was there some sort of "By opening this CD you agree to these terms of use" sticker on it? No. If it is simply a material item, it is no different than modifying a car.
