The term "E.R. Car" is used to illustrate how much money a trip to a local hospital emergency room (local E.R.) will cost. So if the typical price of a car runs anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 for a used car, and then anywhere from $30, 000 to $70,000 for a new car, then it is not unreasonable, in today's American healthcare environment, to equate the price of one car to the cost of one emergency room visit.
A similar term is "E.R. House," used to describe the cost of emergency room care for a truly catastrophic medical situation where the price of just one emergency room visit equates to the price of a buying a house.

"I got taken to the emergency room in an ambulance, and after all the x-Rays, all the blood work, all the CT scans and after consulting with four different specialists, the emergency room sent me home and then billed me for over $45,000. That was my first ever E.R. Car in my whole life, and I hope it was my last."

Driving in my car right after a beer
Hey, that bump is shaped like a deer
DUI?
How about you die?
I'll go a hundred miles
An hour!
Little do you know, I filled up on gas
Imma get your fountain-making ass
Pulverize this fuck
With my Bergentrück
It seems you're out of luck!
TRUCK!

Car-ogance law states that whenever cyclists raise valid questions about their safety or discomforts that within three responses car owners will try to bend the topic/discussion about the own responsibility and unsafe behavior of that cyclist.
Example 1:
"Yesterday I got hospitalized because I got doored by a car-owner that opened his door"
"Those damn cyclists should wear a helmet. It is your own fault!"
"You're showing car-ogance and should keep your attention on the traffic instead of opening the car door without looking"
Example 2:
"I don't feel safe on the roads of Amsterdam sharing the road with SUV's."
"Cyclists always run a red light. You should follow the rules."
"You are showing car-ogance and should be aware that other people are also in traffic without a car."
