chiming in as an auto mechanic by trade here, the biggest rental scheme in American society has got to be the automobile. In a months time ill maybe work on six cars that the owner actually owns outright.

Almost nobody owns a car anymore but everyone seems to be on a lease/finance plan. https://www.valuepenguin.com/auto-loans/average-auto-loan-in...

most people are into these things for 60 months.
