Normally they send up chunks of concrete on a rockets first launch, it was likely just a publicity stunt, sending an expensive secret payload on an experimental new rocket is a terrible idea, space agency's launch classified payloads all the time and no one bats an eye.

Normally it would be a terrible idea, but when Q and company are taking out their comm sats left and right, risk is something they have to take. I suspect it was a com sat for blackhat/DS, but that's just my guess. It's possible that he did send up a car, I just don't buy it.
