CHANCE IN A VEHICLE

Do I have a chance in your car?
There are still three chances in the car.
'Chance' could be any of:
| 1. | likelihood that something will happen e.g. There's a strong chance we'll win. |
| 2. | opportunity or opportune time e.g. I was given no chance to explain. |
| 3. | gamble or risk e.g. You're taking a chance by not wearing a seat belt. |
| 4. |
supposed force that makes things happen:
|
| 5. | raffle or lottery ticket: a ticket in a raffle or lottery |
| 7. | unexpected happening |
| 8. | something caused by luck or fortune. |
As it is evident, it is very ungrammatical to use 'chance' as shown in the two sentences earlier.
Rather, we use room or space. e.g.
Can I have a room in you car?
There are still three rooms or spaces in the vehicle.
That is English for you.
