Install.packages needs a quoted argument -- the error message suggests
that its looking for a variable named `car` and not finding it -- in
fact, most functions taking package names do, but library() allows
some trickery, which is convenient, but occasionally leads to mishaps
like this.
install.packages("car")
should work.
