carcake

The "hat" of snow left on the roof of a car when the owner has cleaned the windows but not the rest of the vehicle. Usually encountered when the driver is too short or too lazy to access the roof.

On the highway, I swerved to avoid an airborne carcake which had just blown off the car in front of me.

Carcalepsy

The act of falling asleep, usually within minutes and in the passenger or backseat, during a car trip. It is especially prevalent among those promising to navigate.

Mom gets carcalepsy on the way home from Grandma's every Sunday, but she always wakes up when we try to change the radio station.
