Not all the cars on the road are real, a few of them are some kind of creature that has adapted to mimic cars, to blend in and avoid predators, and eat roadkill when nobody is looking. That's why sometimes you see a car with window tint so dark it seems like nobody could possibly see though it, to hide the fact there's no interior.
I've always thought dead cars was a cool idea.
Not every car is "real". Think ghost ships of the pirate age. There's some flying Dutchman of a resurrected ram van somewhere that's just running people off roads in the dead of the night. Perhaps in a peculiar fog with no apparent source.
Maybe that car on your right at 2am in the middle of nowhere is actually a guy who died falling asleep at the wheel 20 years ago and he's keeping you company so you dont meet the same fate.
Its endlessly adaptable and it has the strength of precedent.
