I can't take IT anymore????

Could you tell me if you could replace the "IT" with a noun? Or how would you express this?

I can't take this car anymore. (as in “I can't take it anymore, this car is driving me crazy.)

Thank you

Yes, you often can, but 'it' usually refers to more than the noun: I can't take it (my car's breaking down) anymore.

I thought the word ''it'' revealed the feeling of the situation?

Yes, it refers to the feelings and thoughts and perhaps the overall situation itself. "I just can't take it/this anymore!" The "it/this" will refer to something that is happening to you or around you, and undoubtedly there will be a feeling component ... perhaps one where you feel that you are going crazy!

e.g. "All the problems with my car are making me crazy! I just can't take it
