The Lunar Rovers were small electric cars that the Apollo astronauts took to the Moon with them, and left there. The rovers were big enough for two astronauts, and could carry several hundred pounds of rocks and tools.

If you could go back to the Moon and bring it back to Earth, you wouldn't be able to drive it; the rover would collapse under the weight of two people in Earth gravity. But on the Moon, things only weigh about one-sixth as much as they do here.
