- To skip the opening credits, the song starts at 0:24 ~ "Beep Beep" is a song by The Playmates. Released in 1958. The song describes a duel between the drivers of a Cadillac and a Nash Rambler on the road. The song was on the Billboard Top 40 charts for twelve weeks and peaked at #20 ( I've since been told it peaked at #4, my mistake ). It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc. Concurrently with this song, American Motors (AMC) was setting production and sales records for the Rambler models.
The Playmates were a late 1950s vocal group, led by the pianist Chic Hetti (born Carl Cicchetti, 26 February 1930), drummer; Donny Conn (born Donald Claps, 29 March 1930); and Morey Carr (born 31 July 1932), all from Waterbury, Connecticut.~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The cartoon was created from scanned drawings using older programs. Windows XP on a Dell computer from 2006, Windows Movie Maker, Microsoft paint, MGI PhotoSuite III SE, The Print Shop 6.0 and a program from Paint Net.
I like Cadillacs. Really, it's just a song. When I was a kid I owned a Rambler a lot like this one. I loved it...

Thanks.....much appreciated it! ;-)
Very impressive! Could you please give me a few hints how you make a video like that? Like, the details of the dashes etc. I'm guessing you first create the images in a Photoshop type program (as opposed to cartoons of old, where they had to draw all the images), and then incorporate them into the video? Either way, it's pretty impressive.

Grandmother's sister had a Nash that she drove for years. My dad was strictly a Cadillac guy. You can't believe how many times this song was played at family parties. Awesome memories!
Lol

And everybody says that there’s nobody meaner than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena…
We had a 1947 Nash, 3 speed manual column shift with overdrive in 1955. My older brother Don would drive it. We'd be speeding down the highway in 2nd gear overdrive and sing the last line as we passed other cars and Don would shift it out of overdrive. We'd laugh and laugh. Teenage fun!
😂😂 We used to listen to this song on a tape when I was a kid.
A very cute song! From the time when Cadilacs were as big as boats!
Tell me about it! When I park my 58 cadillac at the grocery store the back end sticks out about 5 feet longer than the cars next to it! Lol
The Monty Python reference at the end is the best!!! LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣
[Very Slow]While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me -
About one third my size
The guy must've wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn. Beep! Beep!
I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn
Beep! His horn went beep
[Slow]I pushed my foot down to the floor To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind;
He still had on his brake
He must have thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn. Beep! Beep!
I'll show him that a Cadillac Is not a car to scorn
[Normal]My car went into passing gear And we took off with gust
Soon we were doing ninety -
Must've left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes:
The little Nash Rambler was right behind -
I think that guy could fly
[Faster]Now we're doing a hundred and ten -
This certainly was a race For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy must've wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac Is not a car to scorn
[Fastest]Now we're doing a hundred and twenty -
As fast as I could go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fellow rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey, Buddy, how can I get this car Out of second gear!"
Oh my God I used to sing this song when I was a kid
It is in the film Malevolant. Sounds very creepy. That's how I came here.
I STILL LOVE THIS SONG! THANKS FOR SHARING! R.K. 3/14/2021.
back in the 90s my city had an oldies radio station, i was the kid that was phone in and request goofy songs like this, or they're coming to take me away 🤣
THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY HA HAAA! ~~ ruclips.net/video/bSpX9PtxwH0/видео.html
Coming to take me away was banned on some radio stations
Song always gave me chills of nostalgia the Cadillac in the cartoon was the 57s which had a top speed of 130 mph
I heard this once when I was little and I always thought I had imagined this song!!! It's real omfgggg
Those Ramblers (and Nash Metropolitans) had absurdly high rear axle ratios, and you really could get one going over 70 mph in second gear.
Higher ratio means slower but more torque. Example 355 goes faster then a torquey 410.
Remember also that it was probably only a 3 speed manual transmission in the Rambler so second gear was a much "higher" gear than what we are used to today in a 5 or 6 speed transmission.
It's up there with hot rod Lincoln
Loved that song too
LOVE it!
Great job, but I don't believe there were any 55 mph signs in 1958. :)
Went well with the UFO flying overhead
There were no Pacers or Gremlins either.... yet.
I remember this song as a kid. Never tied it to the Javelin and Amx I so coveted in '70.
AMC made some strong streetfighters in the day.
Thanks for posting!
Love the license plates 2QIK4U and H8TICKTS. Classic.
My mother-in-law a car like it, at the time my gril friend hate'ed it but I love'ed it.
Awesome!
Wile E. Coyote brought me here..
Makes sense.
@@justjeff53
Me and Wile E. Coyote have the same kind of luck
The Rambler must have had something special under the hood. Unless I am wrong, a stock one probably couldn't do 85 mph.
Well ya.,...it had a V-6 out of an '86 Buick Grand National dontcha know. 😁
My 1960 Rambler single bbl, inline six automatic topped out a 90MPH. I recall driving 15 minutes flat out (90), pedal to the metal and at the end of the run the radiator was bone dry!
ot could do about 80 flat ground mabey 85 down hill
@@GFTP100 My 73 with the 232 did not do 90
@@johnglad5 , that’s pretty sad. It probably needed a tuneup. What model was it?
Omg I luv this song
GREAT GRAPHICS
My husband and I went on a 22-hour trip and our 6-year old wanted him to sing this over and over. She loved it!
Charlotte Hyatt Most kids really like this old song. But, I would imagine your husband got a little tired of it..
That's a great memory!!!!
thats so cool...it must be fun to hear someone who actually knows all the words..LOL

For those who missed it. Post war ( Early 1950's) Nash Rambler cars had a three speed gear shifter on the steering column. They were known for getting stuck in gear and between gears. That is the wink to reality for the back story behind the catchy Playmates song. The man in the Rambler was trying to get attention for the help.
Thank you for solving the mystery. I wondered if getting stuck was actually a defect on these cars.
heh I had always assumed it was referencing their oddball push button shifting mechanism.
That was Chryslers; my Grandpa had a Dodge Dart, or maybe it was a Lancer, with the dashboard push-buttons and let me help him drive it by pushing 'em, when I was 7-8.
Ahhh, but the biggest V-8 for the American from late 66 through 1968 was the 290. The 401 didn't come out until 401.
All the second generation AMC V8s from the 290 to the 401 were based on the same block. You could replace a 290 with a 401. But you had better beef up the drivetrain if you do. You could still get an AMC 360 (Chrysler 360 is a different engine) in a Jeep Grand Wagoneer up until 1991.
My siblings and i would start ever so slowly circling the coffee table, and by the end we were exhausted or injured as we sped around the coffee table and collapsed with laughter.
And THAT's the kind of stuff that keeps a family together! LOL!
We did the same thing!!!
Fun story- this song saved my dad’s life. His landlord was in this band and tragically died of alcoholism related conditions. My dad was also an alcoholic/addict and when he started recovery, he was going through a dark time in life and was about to relapse when this song came on the radio. He claims that it was his landlord’s ghost warning him not to do it.
glad he got well
Lovely story.
I was 18 at the time! I always thought this song was cute, even at 75 it's cute!!
I remember being at an antique car show on Marco Island (FL) in 2014 and somebody had a Nash Rambler on display. There was also a deejay spinning oldies, and eventually somebody requested 'Beep Beep' and the Nash's owner would honk his horn whenever the 'beep beep' sounded in the song. It was hilarious!
I wish I could have been there to see that that would have been so hillarious
1957-1958-1959 Drag racing was in it’s infancy in Alberta Canada. A person could walk into a car dealership, buy a new car, drive to the drag strip, remove the air cleaner, spare tire, bumper jack, hub caps and go drag racing. My father was the NASH HUDSON Rambler dealer. I had a 1957 Rambler, 327 cubic inch engine, std transmission ( three on the tree ) naturally aspirated ( carbureted) daily drive. On weekends I was at the drag races. Three consecutive years, I won the provincial championship for FASTEST STOCK CAR. I still retain that trophy. Dad had a 1957 RAMBLER REBEL, Rochester fuel injection, classed as SUPER STOCK.
You''re imagining all this - it's just a song !"£$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$£"!
Omg wow! This brings back so many great memories of my dad, uncle and grandpa singing this song!! I found this and shared with them!! Thanks. Beep beep!!
Your welcome Keely. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
When I was a kid back in the 60's, me and my siblings would play this song while walking around th3 coffee table. Going faster and faster as the song sped up. Now, as a grandfather, I've introduced my grandkids to this song. I put them in a Little Tykes Cozy Coupe and push them while playing this song. We circle from the living room through the kitchen, going faster and faster as the song speeds up. As much fun as they have, I think I enjoy it even more!!
I love this story! 🎶❤️🎶
Watch it closely - a Pacer passes them ,and then a Gremlin !! ......in 1958 ?????? It's full of little quirks - Caddy's license plate. 2qik4u, the flying saucer- yes, there was one - apparently not the only Monty Python inference here !!
That was the Planet Express ship from Futurama.
This song is so much fun at the drive in. We still have one where we live and they play this song before every movie. All the kids honk the horn at the BEEP BEEP!! Our kids love it!!
That's what it's supposed to be about: FUN!
What a great idea!
When I Was A Kid We Owned A Rambler, So Needless To Say My DAD LOVED This Song. LOL
My mom would chase my brother and I around the living room table while blasting this song for the neighborhood to hear! Such great memories! Now my son is 6 and I am doing the same! Love this song!
Me too. ❤
I love it. So long since I heard this. Thank you!
My dad would play this on his record player and my sister and I would do some crazy dances to it, as it got faster and faster
I always loved how the song got faster and faster, as the driver in the song sped up. Even at 8 years old, this was not lost on me.
in 1973 i paid $50 for my first car...a '59 rambler....oh...never underestimate your opponent...that thing was a tank...
+Kevin Thurston In 1972 I paid $40 for a 2 door 1963 Rambler American. Gas was around 30 cents a gallon and that car got better than 30 mpg. I still miss that car.

+Kevin Thurston Bought my first car from my neighbor, a 62' rambler. He was original owner and the car was in mint condition. It was so quiet/smooth that you literally could not hear the engine idling! Driving it in excess of 90 eventually ruined the engine, and that's when we parted company.
Love my Little old Nash Rambler ....
This was a huge hit when I was 15 - hard to believe that it has been that long! I 'm now 77 and love this song as much as I did then, except there are no Ramblers anymore. I had a 65 Rambler 2 door sedan, top speed 90 MPH downhill with a tailwind. Also bought this record in '58 - Don't have the car, but I still have the record in 2020.
Those Caddys would actually go 140... but don't tell anybody...
@@BuzzLOLOL - I know, one of my uncles LOVED Caddies for that reason - he had a need for speed! He had a crippled leg from childhood polio in the 1930's, but could drive quite well. He compensated with his Caddies for the lack of physical agility otherwise.
@@retiredyeti5555 - Sounds like he got polio about same time as FDR... we were lucky to get the first of the Salk Vaccine (a real vaccine) about 1955...
@@BuzzLOLOL - Because of polio, they closed the public swimming pool in our small city, and it did not reopen until kids started getting the Salk vaccine. I got when it came out, and again in the US Navy in '61 in boot camp, along with a 2nd smallpox vaccination because the scar from the first one had disappeared. A friend of mine died and another one was in an iron lung for several years until he died.
0:46 Go Speed Racer Goooooo!
Believe me or not my great grandfather was one of the people who made the song. His name was Carl Cicchetti
Your grandfather is part of Funny Music History!
Do you know Joseph Lochavio. He said Carl was his grandma’s brother a few comments back. Your long lost cousin.
Wow I just randomly found this outta no where.
lol me too just now
RazzerRaw me too😂
RazzerRaw look up little nash Rambler
me too
bubbkecar song
There's irony for you.
If that Nash Rambler could go 120 MPH in second gear, the Cadillac wasn't just scorned; it was dissed six ways from Sunday.
Those Caddy's went 140... he felt sorry and let him pass...
Many years ago, when I was 18, I had a '66 Rambler Classic. By then, Nash had become part of American Motors. However, that car still had the Nash seats, where the front seat back dropped down to make a bed. 🙂
Those Nash seats created a lot of anxious fathers...
Of course I would be listening to the song in Nash.
I turned this into a race around the coffee table with my kiddos. They had a blast, and we all fell down laughing.
Who came from the horror movie "Malevolent"?
We had the 45 as children... use to play it over and over... act out on our basement and backyard with our childhood friends... fun memories...
For all you young'uns out there: I can remember when Nash, Hudson, and Studebaker were the cars to beat.
And have you suffered from craniorectumitis very long?
+Christian Kriegl young uns like you need to show more respect to their elders
I had a 1960 Nash Rambler, drove it for years. Probably the best car I’ve ever owned.
My second car was a 1963 Rambler American. Different bodystyle but the same motor and drivetrain.
My father has called me Beep for the past 40yrs because of this song.....Lol
My grandmother would play this song every time we went on a road trip. Now it’s just a happy core memory.
That's a good thing, I'd say!
I had a huge stack of 45's in the late 50's - knew every single one by heart, including this one, and particularly because of both it's musical 'oddity' + 'humor'! -- And after 60+ years, for some reason this song just now 'popped' into mind so I thought "Hey, let's see if'n it's on YT" - and here it IS! - Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!
And the animation is the absolute PERFECT visual-match to the music. - LOL! - You'd almost at first think the video was made also in 1958...that is if it weren't for the ufo 'fly-by' and the billboard sign of the greatest album of all time, "Crime of the Century"!
So thanks for the posting! - I needed a good LOL in these end times!
That must've been one heckuva sleeper car.
GOOD POST! Thank you for the great post! I like looking at the subtle details like tat billboard for SUPERTRAMP's "Crime of the Century" and that UFO.
+littlemikey1954 ~ Congratulations! Your the first person to mention "Crime Of The Century". My favorite Album..
+justjeff53 I knew there a reason for that billboard. You're right about it's being the best album, with "Only In The Quietest Moments" (1977) and "Breakfast in America" (1979) both coming in close, tied for second... Have a great day!

And the pupper sneakin' his head in there.
I had a 2 x 4 barrel Vette that got its ass kicked by a 57 Rambler Rebel! Found out later it was a 327 ( Rambler 4 barrel 3 on the tree)!
Early vettes were really not the impressive. My dad has a '53 Chevrolet Del-Ray with a Jimmy 6 with 3x2s and a gear splitter. He would race guys with vettes for their wheel covers. The walls of my grandfather's garage were covered in Corvette wheel covers.
This afternoon saw a 1960 Little Nash Rambler and sang the owner of the car this song. I'm 80 and the man had never heard the song before so we had an interesting conversation about his car and the song.
I'm 71. What is going to happen when the truth about the 1950s and 1960s are replaced with more movies and TV show plots than factual documentaries!?
I'm lovin in it..! 2018 anyone?
ImBlue Animal jam Hell yeah!
Thanks. I never dreamed it would get this many views.
Still listening...2019! What sweet wholesome memories! !!!!! Love it!!!!!
Bro you be tripping I watch in 2020
2020 ...... heard this song 60 years ago and still love it ...... I had a 1962 Rambler
A Pacer and Gremlin pass them in the other direction.

Built 410 cu. Inch under the (Sc)Rambler’s hood. Running Methanol, and set up like a sprint car.
Oh my God, just found this!! In 1960 my parents bought our 58 Cadillac from the family Doctor. I WAS 1 YEAR OLD! Your rendition here of the car is spot on. I grew up with the caddy as the everyday family car, we even used to drive it from Southern California to Joplin Missouri a few times for family reunions. Even though they bought a new Buick in 1969 Electra 225, it was a gorgeous car, I pleaded with my parents to hang onto the caddy! I loved it and wanted to have it when I got older, so they kept it and it became the Spare Car, lol. I took care of it, maintained it. In 1982 mom says, ok, its time. I'm giving you the cadillac, here's the signed pink slip. So fast forward 41 years, its still going down the road. It has the optional power windows, and rare factory AC. So now its 65 years old, and im 64. We're growing old together. 😊 thx for the great video.
I enjoyed hearing about your classic Cadillac. Some people thought I hated Cadillacs because I created this video. Not true.. The only car I owned that I really hated was a 1975 Fiat 128. One of the front wheels fell off at 25.000 miles. it was downhill from there.
@@justjeff53Oh no! Thats terrible! Glad you survived that! I had new tires installed on my 3 year old car by FIRESTONE in 1978. I was 19 then. I jumped on the freeway after leaving the tire shop to visit my Grandma who lived in Los Angeles. After about 15 minutes on the freeway doing 70 mph, the back of the car did a violent wiggle and bang, and I looked in the rear view mirror and could see the entire wheel going up in the air! Thank God it didn't hit anyone. FIRESTONE examined the car, notified me they weren't to blame, because the lug bolts on the car were rusted very badly and failed. . Yeah, right. A 3 year old car, living in Southern California, never seen snow, rarely any rain, nope didn't buy it. Took them to court, the judge got a smirk on his face when I told him what I just told you, said, I agree with the plaintiff, its obvious the wheel was improperly installed after the new tires were put on. FIRESTONE had to repair all the Damage to the car. Ive never been to a FIRESTONE Store since. And hey, the wheel lugs on the caddy are all original, and it hasn't thrown a wheel yet! Lol. Thx for the reply, and well done video!
@@justjeff53, apparently it hadn't gotten out yet that "FIAT" was just an acronym for "Fix It Again, Tony." When I started driving to high school as a sophomore in 1970 I usually took my grandfather's '59 Imperial with the 413 under the hood. I had tons of fun in that thing, but it seemed like the logical thing to do when my dad traded it in on a '69 Chrysler Newport a year or two later. I'm sure the dealer took one look at it and thought, "Who in the world would want to buy this behemoth?" How could we have known that those gas sucking beasts of burden from 1959 with the gargantuan fins would become such collector's items in the next century?
I spent three years in Germany assigned to the U.S. Army Europe Band and Chorus in the late 90s where I was always looking for a pay gig on the side. One night I played at a big German tribute to Hollywood in a huge building with lots of rooms and a different music act in almost every one. I didn't get to see them all perform, but I did get to see most of them enter the building because we were playing in the vestibule watching everybody come in. I'll never forget this one group which had based itself on groups like the Playmates, Bill Haley and other 50s rock groups with the plaid suits, white socks, greasy hair and so forth. I don't know if they gave the best performance, but they absolutely made the greatest entrance in those plaid suits after they rolled up to the door and climbed out of a pristine bright white '57 Caddy.

Don’t know if anyone noticed, but the Futurama ship drives by in the background cool as hell
they playthis somg at the drive in theatre i go to and everyone honks its amazing, i need to make a recording of it.
This was my no. 1 fave song when I was little. Always cracked me up
Very good. I'm 75
I'm 70. Glad to meet you...
My father had a Rambler which had push-button transmission and a front seat that cold be folded down to connect with the back seat and create a "bed", which I thought was incredibly cool!
One of the great novelty songs of the 50's
They play this song at our local drive in movie theater before the first movie. When it says beep beep you're supposed to honk your horn. This was my favorite part of going to the drive in as a kid. My parents would let my brother and I honk the horn
That's great. We have only one drive-in still open where I live. I wish they did that here.
Listening in the back seat of my parents car, no confining seat belts.....me, my mom & dad, all singing together!!! 🎶🎵🎼BEEP BEEP!!!
I remember this song. Yes I was alive when it came out. I had the 45 RPM of it.
I had that record when I was a kid. I played the heck out of it. I don't know what ever became of it. Perhaps my parents ditched it to save their sanity. Another one was the Purple People Eater. Classics.
That's funny
Do you remember Little Blue Riding Hood?
@@singingpretty Oh, yeah. A take on Dragnet.
One eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater 🤘🏻🤣🤗👍🏻
My dad introduced the song to us kids and I used it as a baby sitting distraction. We would put it on and start dancing really slowly, increasing the pace with the song. By the end the kids and I were running around in circles like crazy people! It tired out many a child. And after 40 years, I still remembered 90% of the words!
Nice. 👍
One of the earliest, and most enduring songs I have remembered for over 60 years now! A classic! A novelty number! A great piece of Americana! And, one of the greatest 'car' songs you will ever hear on the radio--Oldies stations most likely! Love it as much in 2020, as I did in 1958! It first charted on Billboard's Hot 100 in Nov. 1958, and peaked at #4, selling a million copies, earning a gold disc.
Completely forgot about this one.....lol
Yeah, it was one of my favorites - as an 8 year old. Just found it recently, and shared it with my 12 yr. old - and he loves it!
They play this song at a drive in I go to sometimes and everyone beeps their car horn along to it, it's funny lol
I've been looking for this song for years. I've haven't heard it since the mid 2000s when I first heard it on Radio Disney.
The original road rage song. 😊
It’s how police get involved!!
Now we're doing 250 and almost out of gas. Beep Beep..
Now we're doing 1000 my engine's blowing up. Beep Beep. 🔥
now we're doing 1020 and engine turned into a nuclear warhead. Beep Beep
😂😂😂😂😂
Now we're going 200 and we made an apocilipts
2000 I meant😅
This was on the Dr Demento 20th anniversary Double CD....the first CD i ever owned!
My first car was a black 1960 Rambler Deluxe, flat head six, 3 of the tree. Bought it from my Father for $1.00!!!!! Yep! He was so good to me. My next car was a 1952 Willys Station wagon, 2 door, 4 cyl., 3 on the tree, overdrive, RWD, not 4WD, which was surprising. Bought it for $135 from a guy who got it stuck in a swampy area in S. Jersey. All my close friends cut high school to get it out of the swamp. Then my Father fixed everything that was wrong with it. Found replacement windows, vacuum wipers, starter, rebuilt the carburetor, tuneup, and got it running again. He did all that work just for fun. He was a mechanical engineer. He got me started on working on my own cars and motorcycles. I wish I still had that Jeep. Thanks Dad. I miss and love my Father and my Rambler! Amen! Thanks Jeff for posting that video. Awesome! Jersey Jeff here.
They had no mount support but ahead of times aluminum engine parts
I liked your story.
That must in fun, back in them days.
Just good feel song from 1958 a top 4 hit in The US singles chart in 1958 By The Playmates
Being a Cadillac Land Yacht fan, and owning a Lincoln, I still love the song.
This is one of those songs that, all of a sudden (usually around 2-3:00 AM ) pops into your brain and you can't stop hearing it playing on a loop indefinitely. Sort of like when the "Green Acres" theme (or "Gilligans Island" theme) magically appears at approx the same hour (on a different night...hopefully) and will not leave until it's played over and over and your sleep is totally ruined and you go to work with a crappy attitude...much like most normal days when you've had enough sleep.

Hey buddy how do I get this car....out...of....sec...cond GEAR???!!!????🚘
Loved this song since i was a kid in early 70's
Same! 😁
As an owner of a Nash Rambler long ago, I loved this song.
Today is 23/1/22 and I just found this for the first time having recalled it from the past .. I was 4 y/o in 1958! God bless.
My father used to sing this one to me to sleep when I was a kid, but every time as the tempo started to pick up, I was laughing till I peed my pajamas and I was too wired to sleep. Lol
i just love it when i find some obscure piece of my past... we loved this song!!!
My dad played that for us when we were kids in the early 90s and we loved it!! I just played it for my 31/2 year old and he loved it.. so thank you for that ..
I'm very surprised that They Might Be Giants never covered this. This sounds just like their style of music.
Listening to this and my 9 year old granddaughter says its creepy...she only heard the very beginning. Nope not creepy....it brings back many good memories of my childhood.
Nash and Hudson merged in 1954 to form AMC, Americam Motors.
Thanks!
I was driving a Nash Rambler when this song was released.
A DJ at a local car show would play this song when my dad would pull in in his 1964 Rambler Classic 660. It’s got a tunnel ram dual quad small block Ford in it.
Seems to me, at one point, you could buy some AMC cars with a Ford V8 (302?) from the factory, but that would have been years after your dad's. They also had Chrysler transmissions in some too, IIRC.
Damn I'm old I remember this song
😂 I can relate
I haven’t the slightest idea why Beep Beep came to mind this morning, but I’m laughing and I thank you for posting it. I will forward it to my grandchildren.
now I know what Roadrunner looked like if he came back as a car
