Send up a one ton something with control and propulsion so that if it goes to plan it can be directed to the sun or something, not hanging around for eternity*.

What about Voyager? I don't understand why you're so heated up about it... What about all those pesky satellites cluttering up Earth's orbit, should they all be pointed at the sun as well?

The deltaV needed to get from Mars to the sun would require fuel several orders of magnitude more than is curently being used, and several orders of magnitude more mass than the car.*
Have the car orbit Mars for a few hundred years, to then become a monument to man's endeavours / folly.
Or spunk thousands of tonnes of fuel into space (kinda littering it a bit) to drop it into the Sun.
* and no, I've not done the maths

Thanks for confirming your complete lack of understanding of anything regarding space exploration...

It was a test, they'd normally send up a one ton slab of concrete, I think this is a bit more fun, don't you? And why wouldn't he use the opportunity to market his other business?
