getaway cars
Criminals' exit rides
A getaway car is a vehicle used to flee a crime scene, especially after a robbery.
The driver waits nearby while accomplices commit the act, then speeds off: The bank robbers piled into the getaway car.
The term appears in crime reporting and heist fiction.
Figuratively, any quick exit strategy: I always park near the door—my getaway car.
