And what, exactly, is your monetary ROI on your vehicle investment?

By what percentage does your car increase in value annually?

Calling your car an "investment" is like calling your vacuum cleaner or lawnmower an "investment".

Let's see......people lose money on investments all of the time. Would you rather lose more money or less money? That's right, invest in something that won't cost you more money while you own it, and will give you the most ROI when you sell it. Investments don't gain value 100% of the time.

You don't plan on trading in your lawnmower or vacuum cleaner do you?

Two schools of thought.

You're going by the financial definition(expected increase in value), I'm going by the economic definition(acquired goods) .
