Bother about or with

What is the difference between:

Don't bother me about the car.
Don't bother me with the car.

Is it correct to use 'about' after bother?

Because I heard a native say: did he bother you about your car!

Here's my take. Don't bother with the car means don't deal with it, as in forget the car...we can walk. If I tell you not to bother me about something, it means I don't want to deal with it...it's your problem. I hope this helps.

So, it is wrong to use with with bother me, as in 'don't bother me with the car'? This sentence is wrong, right?

In the contexts I can think of, I would understand these to mean the same.
