You're rather out of date with your version of R -- if you want to use the CRAN binaries provided by install.packages(), you usually have to be at most one minor rev behind.
Try install.packages("car", type = "source") But even better -- update to a poppin-fresh R 2.15.1: you get parallelization, a byte-code-compiler, and all sorts of other goodies.
