You failed.
Your "faith" in your car starting is directly correlated to the evidence and past experience that you have with your car. You have "faith" that it will work because it generally does. But that "faith" is modulated based on the evidence you have; my first car was a cheap little shitbox and when it started to break down, so did my "faith" in its ability to start. My current car starts routinely, and so my "faith" in it remains strong.
Contrast that to actual faith, like faith in god, which has next to no evidence, certainly no verifiable evidence, to back it, and yet inexplicably remains strong. Imagine that.
You're conflating faith with reasonable expectation, when you say you have faith in your car.
