Rebecca wins with:

Less what I did with it as opposed to what happened to it. Rouge squirrels bit through vital engine wires, turning it into a paperweight.

What else did people do? Apparently very little. The car I have now, is the car I had when I left high school 11 years ago. It’s a great little Ford Laser, although it sounds like a tin can with rocks in it right now. We’ve had lots of journeys up and down Australia’s east coast. It’s been a great little guy. Pitty it’s on its way out, when it dies I will certainly not miss it. Stupid little hunk of junk.

• Our minivan was named Ptolemy. He died =(
  In Ptolemy, in 2006, we travelled to 33 U.S. states, compiling 12,000 miles in two months–camping everywhere.
• Driven from Seattle, WA to Ithaca, NY and gotten dragonflies stuck in the grill.

Seven!

Two in the front, three in the back, one in the boot and one in the glove box.

Cars are one of those things that get used in many more ways than most probably intended. Fit as many people as possible into a car, use it for a shield as you shoot people in the street, you could use a car to live in for extended periods of time, you could even use a car to power a clock. Some think a car is intended to hold as much garbage as possible. In fact - I think you could have ‘roaming sewerage system’ where a car travels around (a convertible of course) with the top down. Instead of flushing the toilet, you could just slosh your bed pan out the window like the good old days! The ‘roaming sewerage system’ would just drive on by your window at the appointed time.

Or maybe we could do without the plague.

What have you done with your car? It could be a simple trip somewhere important, it could be an activity that wholly involves the car. I’m essentially looking for a story that involves a car.

What do you do if you see a spaceman?
Park your car in it man.
