LOL, Right, and that one shouldn't explode after taking a direct hit to the rear end. It in all likelyhood won't be too happy, but no explosion should occur
 
P.S. Edited to say congrats for hitting the 15,000th post!

you are also not the legal owner of the car untill you pay the bank back.
 
Wrong, you are the legal owner of the car once you buy it. Doesn't matter how much or who you owe the money to and you can do with it what you wish. If you wish to assign those ownership rights to someone else it it within your rights to do so.

Well, it is just like a house - you cannot sell it, trade it or otherwise dispose of it without satisfying the loan. Most states also are title holding states - the bank has the title. But in truth, the car is collateral for the loan.

Nope the rear end will just explode for no apparent reason at all. When that happens I suggest you not be there.

i know where you're comming from. i felt the same way perhaps two decades ago. yet, as i get older, i appreciate and value simple natural interfaces, items which are easy to understand and manipulate, practical and inexpensive to maintain.
 
these days, i see fundamental gulfs in engineering thoroughness; i hesitate to entertain blind trust in automation where the design is hidden and machine behaviors collide with years of learning and intuition. i am not signed up to have driver authority usurped by the machine.
 
look around edmunds. sure cars are more efficient, powerful, capable. but they are more expensive to own, maintain, operate. they fail in rather bizzare and dangerous ways.
 
safer? not always no. not close. those toys and conveniences are enablers for already poor drivers, increasing heads down time, or forcing peope to multi-task which we aren't very good at.
 
people's driving skills are getting poorer not better.
 
i see a marketing campaign by high-tech firms trying to sell everyone on more feature rich automation to "save people" from scenarios they should not be getting themselves in, but they do because they aren't driving their cars.
 
their cars are beginning to drive them.
 
and these vehicles and their owners are on the road with you and me and all the people you love and care for that also happen to be on the road.
 
smart highways, smart cars.
 
yeah sure.
 
epiney, i suspect you too will experience a similar epiphany. until then, peace.

I believe you would need a title to transfer ownership?

Only if you want to transfer ownership, remember transferring ownership is not the same as assigning ownership rights. As an example you rent out an apartment the owner of that apartment assigns you ownership rights to that apartment but maintains ownership of same.
