Form both hands into "S" shapes (fists) and hold them in front of your chest as if gripping a steering wheel. With your palms facing inward toward each other, move your hands forward and backward alternately in short, repetitive motions. This movement mimics the physical action of steering a car.
Sign "I", then use the "driving" sign by moving your "S" shaped hands as if steering, followed by the sign for "store". You can push the steering wheel motion slightly forward to show the direction of travel.
Point to the person for "you", sign "like", and then perform the "driving" sign while raising your eyebrows and leaning slightly forward to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign "my" and "brother", then use the "driving" sign by holding your imaginary steering wheel and moving your fists back and forth to show the ongoing action.

They are very similar and use the exact same handshapes and motion. However, 'car' is typically signed with smaller, quicker movements as a noun, while 'driving' (the verb) often uses a slightly larger, more continuous motion or is pushed forward to show travel.
ASL is a spatial language, so you can incorporate direction into the sign. Instead of just moving your hands back and forth in one spot, push the 'steering wheel' forward away from your body to indicate driving from your current location to a destination.
You don't need to mouth the English word, but you can use facial expressions or mouth morphemes to add meaning. For instance, puffing your cheeks or pressing your lips together can show that the driving is difficult, long, or tedious.
