Dear John and Anima, I didn't reply earlier because other people got to it before I did and because, given the lack of information in the original post, there wasn't anything to add.
The car package shouldn't require anything near 2.5 Gb to load. Here's what I get under Windows 10 with R 3.4.2: > memory.size() [1] 62.08 > library(car) > memory.size() [1] 166.09 The units are MB (the ?memory.size help page says "Mb" but I believe that's usually for "megabits" and that it isn't what's intended). Some more information, as has been suggested by other posters, might help.
