/M if you're not driving the car but the car is moving (presumably being driven by someone else). /P if the car is parked. If you are operating while driving, and are near water, you might unexpectedly become /MM, and if you're near a cliff, you might briefly get to operate /AM.
The FCC dropped modal suffixes some time ago, and these are no longer required in FCC-land, although I think there are some residual situations that /MM and /AM are still required by treaty if not by regulation, even in FCC-land.

So if you are in your vehicle, operating with a mobile radio installed in the vehicle and using an Arrow antenna out of the window, are you /m or /p ?
I say mobile!
