... I discover that my car refuses to run when I try to fill up with gas from an "un-approved" gas-station. Or that when I'm stranded in the parking lot, no passing motorist is able to give me a cupful of the same gas from his own tank, or allowed to provide a jump-start from his electrical system.

I'll also be upset when "my" car won't let me drive to the mall south of town rather than the competing mall north of town, ditto when I want to go to the school pagent rather than the theatre-chain cinema. The same goes for being able to use it on weekends and vacation, not just for week-daily commuting to work.

And I when I can't re-sell the car, or pass it on to a relative for going to college, or let someone else use it -- I'll have a few questions about the concept of ownership then, too.
