Thanks for posting this, debee. It's an interesting read. I'm having a hard time figuring out which way the Court is leaning. Seems like there may be a split among them. I'm hoping they go with the simple approach - you either own the car or you don't.

Yep, not sure which way the court will go. It will be interesting.

Yes thank you for posting this. This definitely applies to my case in more than one way. I am a little scared that this is even an issue right now. We have a car that is inoperable and a car that we pay the payment on and incur all expenses but the car is not LEGALLY ours. It is in someone elses name. My attorney said it was fine. I sure hope he is right.
