I think the car itself is okay, but I'd like to see it in a cartoon form, and add a girl in a skirt (waitress preferably). Try a blue car.

Drop the top edge of that frame and have the car sticking out the top. Leave the semi circle part, just lower the level so half the car is on the outside.

Take the bottom wording and put it on top, curling in a semi circle. Having it on the bottom it's easily missed by the bright red sign. But it's good wording so add it to the top for some attention.

Great idea by the way! Love that checkerboard.
