I can understand that sentiment. My sense is symmetry is a longer game and I like to let things play out, especially when it comes to things like this. I've been studying Buddhism a little on and off and like Gospels Jesus, wanting more than you have been given, when something is truly given like this car, is a barrier to inner peace and can be addictive and therefore destructive. My life focus has always been on positive addictive qualities like when you help others, in big and small ways alike, just because you are there, present, and can. Recognizing when you can help is the key. Those feelings of accomplishment and increased self-worth may be selfish at the core but they do spur you on to do more good works which ultimately spread and everyone wins.
