Answer 1

i like you to add the Car.java file and all other classes, which Car.java needs...

i successfully tried to reproduce the exception. maybe you like to take a look into the sourcecode GitHub:CarParser

If you execute the code, you will get the Exception thrown. So uncomment the line 22 and it works all fine.
