You can still drive that car on racetracks and other such places.
The car/house comparison doesn’t make any sense here.
You don’t own the land and never will. You just lease it from the government and we all get that.
I pay property tax to keep my car. I get a yearly bill based on the value of my car, and I pay taxes based on that. I pay property tax to keep my house. I get a yearly bill based on the value of my house and I pay taxes based on that.
The car/house comparison makes sense here because I get a bill in the mail for property tax on my house and I get a bill in the mail for property tax on my car, they are from the same locality in two different envelopes.
I own the land. I own the car, I get property tax bills for both of them in the mail every year, they are precisely 100% the exact same.
In the US? This isn't common. I've heard of things like this to register your car but not to keep it.
There's no laws in the USA where they'll repossess your car if you don't pay registration fees. They just don't allow it to be on the road legally and you'll get ticketed.

I think the current system, and specifically the Supreme Court under Roberts has done an excellent job protecting individual property rights from the state. The Roberts court gets criticized for protecting those rights too much.
