Ace!
I was thinking about this just recently, can you tell an entire story without leaving the car? Evidently the answer is yes.
Reservoir Dogs paved the way I suppose by not showing the stereotypically exciting part. Or maybe "Macbeth", where most of the actual killing happens off-stage. Either way, the interesting thing is how ACTION isn't what tells the story, it's the buildup and the aftermath, both of which might well happen in the same car. It's an excellent choice of conceit and, incidentally, a money-saving one.
If it's as good as that last line there you should have no trouble. I'm tempted to ask what it would cost to finish the series but, not working in the industry, I rather think I'd be a bad investor for you in every other way.

in terms of never leaving the car...
there's a number of devices i've tried to work into each episode that give you a wider sense of freedom as it was my main concern... that's why i'd like to get some funding to finish it, becuase those moments are really good fun (i think) and think people would get a kick out of it.
also Marion and Jeff made me realise that if you work hard enough you can contain a story in a car...
in terms of what it would cost that's my producers area of expertise, i know that its cheap compared to most other comedy series of similar length and time... but not so cheap that we can shoot it ourselves (we all put a bit of cash in for the pilot)
