Hmm...
Here's a start, feel free to expand on it
assuming the car gets pushed in from the left
<untested code>
on someTriggeringEvent
boxLeft = sprite(box).rect[1]
boxTop = sprite(box).rect[2]
boxRight = sprite(box).rect[3]
boxBottom = sprite(box).rect[4]
padding = 4 -- so the car doesn't actually touch the box
newBoxRight = max(boxRight, sprite(car).rect[3] + padding
sprite(box).rect = rect(boxLeft, boxTop, newBoxRight, boxBottom)
end
</untested code>
You would probably test to see if the car was all the way in the box and
stop its rightward motion when it is.
