Apparently you have never financed a vehicle. The bank holds the actual title, you only get a certificate of registration. You cannot sell the car without the title, and the bank will not release it without the loan being paid off.
So if you tried to sell the car, the bank would take the money and you'd end up with nothing.

You know, I actually like the idea of the fork. I have lost 30 lbs so far by doing 2 things. Decreasing portion sizes and concentrating on not eating fast. Simply decreasing portion sizes is good, but if I ate too fast I would still feel hungry and want more. Slowing down the speed of my eating seems to have given my body more time to signal the brain that I am slow, and having the fork would have been cool because during a good meal with friends, the last thing I wanted to pay attention to what the speed of my eating, and the fork would have been a handy reminder to slow down.

+ - Facebook Co-Founder Renounces US Citizenship 1

Hugh Pickens writes writes "MSNBC reports that Eduardo Saverin, who helped Mark Zuckerberg start Facebook while at Harvard University, is giving up his US citizenship in a move that may reduce his tax bill to become a resident of Singapore, where residents pay no capital gain taxes. “Eduardo recently found it more practical to become a resident of Singapore since he plans to live there for an indefinite period of time,” says Tom Goodman, a spokesman for Saverin adding that Saverin renounced his US citizenship “around September” of last year. Renouncing one’s US. citizenship well in advance of an IPO is “a very smart idea,” from a tax standpoint, says Reuven S. Avi-Yonah, director of the international tax program at the University of Michigan’s law school. “Once it’s public you can’t fool around with the value.” Forbes estimated Saverin’s net worth at $2 billion, ranking the 30-year-old No. 634 in its list of billionaires. Renouncing citizenship is an option chosen by increasing numbers of Americans. A record 1,780 US citizens gave up their US passports last year compared with 235 in 2008, according to government records. “It’s a loss for the U.S. to have many well-educated people who actually have a great deal of affection for America make that choice,” says Richard Weisman."
