My oldest Son graduated with a mechanical engineering classmate that took a job outside Detroit with one of the "Big Three" back in 2011.

At one pont, Just for the H_ll of it he bought a crappy Pontiac 6000 off CL and set it on fire in the parking lot of the Pontiac Mall (abandoned, of course). He took a few pics of the Pontiac ablaze, with the mall in the background. He wasn't concerned about 'running away'....There was no one around, no police, no fire dept.

He still lives and works up there and now, as a more mature 26 year old (or so) owns over a dozen homes, all on the same block. He lives in one and rented out the other to young coworkers who just pay utilities and for the upkeep of the home.
