I used to think that the car stayed still and the earth turned under it. Obviously the car bounced and rocked because turning the earth was such hard work... that's also why there was a whole line of cars on the road, because one would not be strong enough. I thought the line of cars going the other way was there to stop the days getting longer or shorter due to everybody driving and speeding the earth up.
