ah huh, yeah…. I am beginning to believe that you have taken advantage of all my other VERY well thought answers to your other questions. I am so disillusioned. Not sure if I will survive. Now you will excuse me while I go ball my eyes out with my stuffed animals. apg2000

Check the tire treads carefully for roadkill particles, which could be blended into a nourishing bisque. Scrapings of the insides of fenders may yield useful organisms. Also look for insects on the windshield and in the radiator fins. I know these aren’t OEM car parts but they’re standard everywhere. kirchwey

if you were running bio diesel, it would have some potential! returnthefly

nothing taste better than burning rubber, you will have to heat up the tires so u can eat the rubber, don’t forget to add some sause to it, mix two part anti-freeze and one part oil (synthetic oil has a nicer flavor) 199

Depends if you prefer plastic, metal, rubber or cloth.

If you want something hot, try the tires or look under the hood before the car cools off.

Bon appetit! zen

Just joined this Q&A today. Talk about a slow saturday night.
You can eat any part of a car as long as you can get it in your mouth, but it will probably kill you. But lets take a look.
Metal - no, cant digest and use as energy
Oil - no, poisonous
Antifreeze - no, poisonous
rubber (tires) - no, poisonous
carpet - no, mostly made of plastic
Food under front seat - maybe
vinyl - no…maybe
headliner - no…maybe
Plastic - no, cant digest
glass - no, cant digest
rubber seals - no, cant digest
gas - no, poisonous
seat foam - no
leather - dont think so
cardboard in door panels - maybe
air filter - no
Some cars have wood in the interior - maybe edible
Paper is edible - not much sustenance, but most cars have manuals.
Some clothing may be edible
Well there are a few maybes in there.
You would still need water and the only water source that may be drinkable would be in the windshield water container.
Sorry, no real answers, but maybe some hints on what to look into. KensMopar

Little, if anything, on an automobile is edible. And certainly, nothing would have any nutritional value. (Definitely NOT the contents of the radiator…antifreeze is poisonous). You would be much better off examining the plant life at the roadside…there are many plants that both edible and nutritious. druid
