Last car I bought, in 2014, I sold some stock options for half of it, and financed the rest, then last year sold the options I WOULD HAVE had to sell to cover the full price in 2014 for 1.5x as much as per share as they were worth in 2014.

But I think you misunderstand me. If you put down a large enough payment that what you owe is always less than the car's current value, especially if you get a good interest rate, that's not madness. 100% financing? THAT'S nuts.
