link the character to the object and hide it, when you press the key (EvenOnInput) hide the object and show the character. you dont need a script for that.
if by character you mean a letter... im afraid textPrint wont work the way I told you to do because its position is relative to the screen and not to the tridimentional space where your objects are, and at least the camera is static... the scenario will move (along with your object) and the character will stay in the same screen location. in this case, you should put the character in a skinmesh, setup it as billboard and follow the procedure I told you before.
good luck!
------------
EDIT:
only link the character to the object may not work as I expect (the object drag the character). you may have to make a group which include both (I should test this to give you the certain advice but I dont want to, test that yourself). Also, both objects (the 'object' and the 'character') should start (be) in the same location.
ALSO, dont forget ofcourse to link the 'object' and the 'character' to the EvenOnInput
now Im done.

ok, let's script it.
take a look at http://www.3drad.com/Script_reference.php
iObjectLocation(OBJ_X,Vector3)
get the location for the car
iObjectLocationSet(OBJ_X,Vector3)
set the location for the character
so the code would be something like this
the only problem with that is that gonna place the character in the exactly same location the car is so will superimpose both.
you should change a little the location for the character.
Im attaching a file with the job done. have fun.

This is working with a mesh, but how do you use "iObjectLocationSet" with a "character"?
