  "type": "SUV",
  "registration": new Date('2016-05-02'),
  "capacity": 2
}
cars.unshift(car);

let car = {
 "color": "red",
 "type": "SUV",
 "registration": new Date('2016-05-02'),
 "capacity": 2
}
cars.push(car);

Array.splice(index,remove,add);
let car = {
  "color": "red",
  "type": "SUV",
  "registration": new Date('2016-05-02'),
  "capacity": 2
