[Doogman]

Actually Old Man, when you got home from the car dealer and carefully read all those papers you signed, you found that you had been hood-winked by the slick talking salesman. You didn't buy the car at all, you only rented it. You can drive the car as much as you like, but you don't own it. The title is not in your name.

Even more curiouser is that on close examination of the keys, you find that they are made of a strange type of glass that gets more brittle with age. It might take 5 years or 50, but at some time the keys will break inside the lock rendering the car unusable. You question the dealer about this and he assures you not to worry, for when this happens they will give you another car of the same model for free!

You wonder what would happen if the dealer went out-of-business before your key broke, but you remember that they have been in business for 15 years now so that seems unlikely. Anyway, how long will you keep driving the same car?

You once heard an outlandish rumor about a couple down the street who's car disappeared one night from within their locked garage! They angrily called their dealer, who immediately refunded their money and promised everyone that it would never happen again.

Somewhere in the shady part of town, there's a guy who can completely remove the locks on your car if you still have the key, but you heard this was illegal and immoral so you won't do this. After all, it's just a rental.

In the next town is a secret, illegal car lot with an infinite supply of thousands of car models. None of these cars have locks and they are all free for the taking. The government always issues stern warnings about this illegal car lot, reminding you that these cars are "hot" and that it's a dangerous journey to obtain them. You feel safer driving your rental. Besides, if everyone drove free cars, who would design new ones? Although you have noticed that your favorite car designer died before you were born.
