Default Re: should you pay off a car loan before mortgage?

I still say pay the car off. Interest on a car loan is lost money. It's a depreciative asset (in most cases) and isn't tax deductible. I would rather finance real estate than a car no matter the interest rate. Real estate is tax deductible and builds your portfolio with a good solid appreciative asset. It just makes better sense as part of a long term investing strategy.
