Hmmm ... the code seems to be fine (as far as I can tell from the code
snippet)

Can you perhaps declare your RequestVars outside of Cars scope?

just

object locationQuery extends RequestVar[Box[LocationQuery]](Empty)

class Cars {
  ...
}

.. personally I would avoid using open_! unless I'm really sure that
the Box is not Empty.
