Alex, a 25-year-old banker, joined his friends at a "pub-hopping" trip that had participants visiting six bars in a two hour span of time. between the fifth and final pub stop, a highly intoxicated alex stopped to use the bathroom at a local luxury car dealer, who was holding a special evening sales event. seeing all the cars and thinking he was signing up for training as a race car driver, alex mistakenly signed a contract to purchase the $188,425 emerald-green ferrari displayed in the showroom. the next day, a sober alex found the contract paperwork at the foot of his bed, and with no memory of the previous evening, quickly headed to the dealership. as he began to explain to the sales manager janine about the drunken purchase mistake, he changed his mind, and decided to keep the car. manager janine, however, took the contract copy from alex and ripped it up, saying "you're not responsible enough to own this car." does alex keep the ferrari?
