Why We Took the Car is a 2010 youth book written by the German author Wolfgang Herrndorf, and translated by Tim Mohr. The story centers around a boy named Maik Klingenberg who goes onto a journey with Andrej Tschichatschow a.k.a. Tschick - in a stolen car, without a driver's license or the age to have one.Maik is an outsider with an alcoholic mother and an unfaithful father. Andrej Tschichatschow is an immigrant from Russia who shows up drunk at school, has no friends and is only called Tschick. Only at the end of Summer break, out of the blue, Tschick talks to Maik and shows up at his home randomly, the second time with a stolen car. After two rather short drives and a visit at a birthday party they weren't invited to, Tschick proposes to go on vacations - it's Summer break after all, and Maik's parents aren't at home anyway. Their goal is Wallachia, where Tschick apparently has relatives, but without a map, mobiles or anything that helps them find their way, they end up driving through the most different places in Germany, meeting very diverse and rather weird people while trying to escape the police and forming a heartwarming friendship.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); }) | |

Cluster F-Bomb: There's quite an amount of not so child-friendly swearing. | |

All of the Other Reindeer: Nobody in his class likes or cares about Maik, and for a period of time, everyone calls him "Psycho". | |

Alcoholic Parent | |
| Why We Took the Car / int_8071d6ed | comment |
Alcoholic Parent: Maik's mother. However, differently from the common use of this trope, she is displayed as a loving mother nonetheless, and quite aware of her problem. | |

Abusive Parents: Maik's father. He calls him stupid and even hits him when he refuses to blame Tschick in the court. | |

Drives Like Crazy: Most of the time Tschick drives normally, but when they leave Tatjana's party, he does a 180-turn. | |
