I remember watching a cartoon about a car (I think it was yellow) that became friends with a little boy. I think it starts with the car in a car compactor and then it starts talking? It was definitely a cartoon and in color and I know it was in English. I must have watched it in the late 90’s or the early 2000’s. I think I had it on VHS but I could be wrong about that.
Maybe Bumpety Boo?
