A car then becomes a "tech Gadget".. a pen is a gadget... 

However, if a property turns out to be a "lemon" and just keeps being more maintenance than it's worth...i do think selling is a good option (like getting rid of a car you no longer like). 

I used to drive for dollars but now I don’t have a car .

Just like buying a car and getting it financed, title is still in lenders name.

It was like the perfect storm I lost my job and was in a car accident.

I'm looking at traffic count around 12,000 cars a day there. 

If you want to buy and hold, use a debt product that stays constant for long periods of time, not one that constantly fluctuates.Another way I think about this: you need to buy a new $30,000 car, you plan to hold onto the car for 5 years and you want to finance it.

They would add a garage door off the ally, add a ramp into the basement to put a car collection.

If you have ample street parking and aren't in an area where the cars will get destroyed by hail, etc. than it is less of an issue.

Last year, however, life threw me a curveball in the form of a serious car accident that left me with multiple fractures and depleted my savings and credit cards.
