Yes i am familliar with that, i think your alluding to schrodingers cat (the thought experiment in which the cat is both dead and alive). Keep in mind that originally, that thought experiment was used to highlight the absurdity of quantum mechanics and not in any way to promote it. Schrodinger wanted to show why quantum mechanics cant exist—because it violated some natural laws of logic at the time.

Having said that, in the forthcoming time since then. Quantum mechanics has changed to better fit those laws of logic (and physics). Quantum mechanics is essentially meaninless on its own—you have to succumb to a "interpretation" of quantum mechanics and view it throught that interpretation. One of which is known as "many-worlds hypothesis" which posits thats at the moment of any 50/50 chance, the universe splits into two, one in which the cat is dead and the other in which the cat is alive. Therefore reconciling quantum mechanics with the laws of logic and physics.

Indeed, these days, the schrodinger cat experiment is used to gauge the effects of certain interpretations of quantum mechanics. The more popular ideas tend to deal with the cat experiment in neater ways without breaking the laws of logic.

So in the case of the car, it still stands that the car cannot be red and be red at the same time within the same world.
