Why does jQuery store an element as a function?
<p>I am calling a div with an ID of car like this:</p>

<pre><code>var car = $('#car');
console.log(car);
</code></pre>

<p>When I log it, it comes back like this in the console:</p>

<pre><code>[div#car, context: document, selector: "#car", jquery: "1.9.0", constructor: function, init: function…]
</code></pre>

<p>Is the "constructor: function" part of the log telling me that it has been stored as a function, and if so why and how to get it to store as an object?</p>
