No one would use another �s car without permission - so you �d probably say "do you mind if I borrow your car?" Otherwise of the two examples you wrote - the first is the best - do you mind if I use your car

If you had already started using the car then you �d say "do you mind me using your car" Not very likely, because how �d you have got the keys! but hey, could be your Dad �s.
Sometimes people start borrowing things without asking permission
"oh, sorry, Mum, do you mind me borrowing this dress?" - as you walk out the door wearing her dress!
HTH!
Hugs from a hot and sunny Barcelona!
