I have also seen this worship in cars and yesterday asked one senior brahmacari of 25 years why he does it. He explained that it is not the car they are blessing but rather installing a photo of either Prabhupada, Radha and Krsna, Lord Caitanya, Nringha deva and Pancha tattva.
He told me he does not do demigods, he only instals Vishnu tattvas and pure Vaishnava jiva tattvas like Narad Muni and Srila Prabhupada
"For you, verdy verdy inexpensive, only phipty dollars (2000 rupees)"
The ISKCON Temple I visted for Janamastami collected 370,000 dollars in one day that goes towards a second bigger Temple in the pipe works.
As far as puja in cars is concerned, if they went to a Hindu Temple, they would get some demigod installed with the lemon cereromony under the wheels.
However, if they come to ISKCON, they can only get Pancha tattava, Radha Krsna, Gour Nitai etc.ISKCON wont do demigods. ONLY THE SUPREME LORD and NOT demigods.
This reminds them of Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead if there car runs head on into a truck.
I understand that, I have photos of Prabhupada and the Lord in my car I offer incence and bhoga to.
As long as ISKCON keeps this standard, I see no probs mate
