In a first sentence Is the meaning of "having" same as "taking"? and Does sometime the meaning of gerund "having" change as per context?

In second sentence 'Having done" are you describing as a "participle adjective"? and Does it only work with perfect tense?

vaibhavmaskar Does "Having a car" means possessioning car here?
Yes.

(We say "owning a car", not "possessioning car".)
