Hi, Alex. Welcome to the forum.

Que color es tu carro ?

This should be "¿De qué color es tu carro?" What color is your car.

As Sheldon mentioned, "coche" is used in Spain and "carro" is used in many parts of Latin and Central America.

Mi madre nunca ha conducido.

My mother has never driven.

We don't use "carro" in Castillian Spanish. We use the world "coche". The question would be ¿De qué color es tu coche?

There is nothing wrong with the word "carro", it is frequently used in Latin America. And by the way, Latin American Spanish is also "Castillian". See this article from our Reference Section: http://tinyurl.com/29mtf6v - Goyo, Jul 29, 2010
Thanks, Goyo, for pointing that out. - --Mariana--, Jul 29, 2010
In Argentina we either use "auto" or "coche" ussually. "Carro" for us is a carriage pulled by horses.. - 00e657d4, Jul 29, 2010

Mi carro es negro tambien pero como lo lavo raramente ahora debe de estar totalmente blanco!

p.s. Esta bien que haya usado el verbo "estar"? Es que mi carro es de color negro (condición permanente) pero está blanco (condición temporal, porque está sucio).
