"Past" can function as both an adverb and a preposition in a sentence. As an adverb, it modifies a verb or adjective (e.g., "I ran past the finish line"). As a preposition, it shows the relationship of a noun to another word in the sentence (e.g., "I walked past the store").
You don't need the word "at" because asking "Where is the car?" is a sufficient question. Also, in English, the sentence should not end with a preposition, and "at" is a preposition.
"Past" can be used as a preposition to indicate movement or location beyond a certain point in time or space. For example, "He walked past the store" or "The car sped past the intersection."
The preposition is fine. However, the question technically should read: Does this sentence use a preposition properly? Connor waited in line while Ava parked the car.
The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows a preposition in a sentence and gives context to the relationship between the preposition and the rest of the sentence. It helps to connect the preposition to the rest of the sentence and clarify its meaning.
"Car" is a noun because "car" is a thing. Examples: A car is used to travel - in that sentence, car is the subject and a noun. I will go by car - in that sentence, car is the object of the preposition and also noun.

"They drove the car slowly" is past tense.
A preposition typically comes after a noun or pronoun to show the relationship between that noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I am going to the store," "store" is a noun followed by the preposition "to" indicating direction.
The object of the preposition is the noun that follows the preposition, the word that the preposition relates to another word in the sentence. It can also be a pronoun, gerund, infinitive, or noun phrase. Examples: The car is in the garage. (in is the preposition, and garage is the object of the preposition.) We went to the grocery store for milk. (the grocery store is the first object of a preposition; milk is the second object of a preposition.)
