...but it's totally your car

Hi,

(1) The meaning of this phrase is quite clear ( ="you choose" ). What interests me is its origin. Borrowed from a movie or something?

(2) Can you tell me some other (idiomatic) ways to convey the same idea?

Thanks

Sorry, but I don't understand the connection of 'you choose' with anything else here. Could you put all necessary information in your post, please?

If you are suggestiong that "It's totally your car" means "you choose," I'm afraid you've heard it wrong. "It's your call" means "It's your choice -- you are the one who can make the decision."
"It's up to you" is another idiomatic way to say this.

And I think the origin is from sports - does that seem right? A referee or umpire makes a call?
