1. The Constitution doesn't guarantee the right to vehicle ownership. Actually in a way it does, implicit in the 9th Amendment, but guns are specifically named for reasons given many times over.

2. I can indeed own a car, without registration or a drivers license. I can't drive it on public roads without both of those, but on my own property is fine, and no one can say otherwise.
