Hi, Randy,
The reason you're not allowed to create a variable named "x" is because all players already automatically have a system-defined variable named x -- the horizontal cartesian coordinate. So "Car's x" would become ambiguous if Car, in addition to having its built-in, system-defined variable named "x", could also define its own "x" variable.
Cheers,

nitpick: it would be nice to really be able to create a variable named 'x' (as opposed to having it renamed to 'x1')
