The magnet held in front of the car would be secured in place, so it would not move toward the one pinned to the front of the car. Their pull would pull each other toward each other, taking the car with the one pinned to it.
This would therefor allow anyone to travel infinitely without using gas. |

One of the cars would always need gas. The magnets would have to be strong enough to come together despite the weight of the car. When the cars are parked, the second car would inevitably stick to the first one. Turns would be harder. And doubtlessly many more problems. |

Look at the picture, it is only one car. The other magnet is suspended in front of that one car. |

Oh, even better than two cars. The magnets would simply stick together, then, providing little to no propulsion. |

You didn't make me have to want to do this, but...
The magnet will not pull forward on the car due to how magnetism and gravity works. The magnet, in front of the car, will not try to pull the car forward, but rather, simply get in contact with the car. Due to the forces of the magnetic field, the magnet attempts to pull the car forward, but since this also makes the car an equally strong magnet, the car pulls the magnet to the car with the same force. These two forces, the magnet to the car and the car to the magnet, are perfectly equal at all times and at all distances, and therefore cancel each other out. Therefore, there is no acceleration, therefore no velocity, therefore no movement.
TL;DR - You're wrong. |

A Rubber Car wouldn't work, because Rubber has no magnetism.
That huge paragraph I said earlier applies to everything that is magnetic. If it isn't magnetic, it wouldn't even pull the car forward in the first place. |
