The market "figured" that in long before you took delivery (VBG).
To tell the truth, I would have rather put the money in double eagles than a car, but I have to have one to travel to my jobs.
Agreed. A car is the worst investment of money (with the possible exception of a bleeding-edge computer system) that one can make, but you can't drive a double eagle (or a stock, or real estate) to work.
I may join the millions, who are afraid to open their 401k statements at the end of the year.
Thankfully, my 401k statements are quartely, so I might feel a little better temporarily. Just remind me to not look at the yearly column.
