Nah, everyone owning their own car is just the fucking norm. What's cool is buying a new car. Often, and brand new.

When an economic system encourages you to constantly replace the same product, the concept of ownership becomes a little blurred. I mean, if you spend part of your budget on it every month for your entire life, it's not much different from renting.
