FATIGUE, when used as a verb, is synonymous with the verb TIRE. A SCARF is a MUFFLER. To GRASP something is to CLUTCH it. A SNOUT is a TRUNK.
What has TIRES, a MUFFLER, a CLUTCH, and a TRUNK? A CAR, of course!
Alternates: I also accepted FATIGUE = EXHAUST and SNOUT = NOSE.
Some of our British visitors pointed out that for them it's TYRE and BOOT, rather than TIRE and TRUNK, so the riddle doesn't work quite as well for them.
