Are you using move_objects on? Is it possible something is lying in
the road or close to the road where it shouldn't be? If there is for
instance garbage in the road, sometimes the car pool won't come.
Likewise, if you've put something outside the lot boundries, it could
screw it up.

I made sure move objects was off and I even "swept" the roadways tile by
tile tring to find any invisible debris.

I noticed this a couple of times the other day. I was trying to ensure
a particularly lazy seeming sim got to work but despite constant
watching and the sim actually having the car symbol of wanting to go
to work the car didn't appear.

I *think* this is a known bug and there might be a hack for it at
VariousSimmers - or at least some advice:

http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/index.php

or possibly Mod the Sims - not sure, it's not a problem I've had.

Best wishes
