In the U.S there is no debtors prison which means you can't go to jail for a debt owed (i'm assuming you owe car payments). However they will get you eventually, they can't come in your garage but they have spotters who will tell if you are seen at a gas station, store or god forbid on a date at a movie theatre, and when they do they'll grab your car quicker than you can imagine.
