Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m a bit lost with this one. It isn’t clear that the “she” is an ex, and at times it’s confusing to know the difference between the ongoing metaphor and reality. For example, is he literally in a car? If not, and the car is a metaphor for his mind, then it doesn’t make sense for her to be outside it, because if he is thinking of her, then she would obviously be inside his mind. Also, it isn’t clear what the “it” and “this” are referring to in the last two lines. There may also be some sort of language barrier between us. The phrase “parked up” sounds unusual, and my brain wants to add a location to the end of it, like “parked up on the hill.” Otherwise, I think the overall imagery is good, and you have a story to tell, I’m just not sold on the execution of it.
