Or, for that matter, never really own a car or property.  You own the
title to said car or property, and that title is transferable in a
number of ways, including as part of a lawsuit wherein a settlement is
required and the title is worth enough to settle the lawsuit and the
person being sued does not have the funds to pay up.

What we Americans define as freedom is a curious thing, at least to me.
