Getting the car fixed seems more like an @errand context item. Are you trying to use contexts to simulate Focus Areas?
The context should be where you complete the task, such as in your office, at home, running errands, or when you have access to make phone calls. Some GTD implementations have Focus Areas, such as Work, Personal, etc. that let you group tasks at a high level, but these are different from contexts. My original GTD system didn't have Focus Areas but while I was trying new systems in preparation for leaving that one, I found that I liked them. I've had to resort to using Tags for this.
As for putting a task in multiple projects, I can't ever think of a scenario in which this would be logical.
Similarly often a task will have two contexts. For example, the task "Get car fixed" may belong to both "Work" context and a "Personal" context since I use the car for work and personal reasons.
This feature I feel would be very, very useful.

Hello,
Thank you for y our feedback.
Q1: If possible can you introduce the ability to assign a task to multiple projects as often a task is part of several projects. For example, the task "Buy new laptop", may be a prerequesite task for a number of my work projects and also personal projects.
A: I think that Project Templates could do help in your case. It is in our development plan. Please be patient development plan.
Q2: Similarly often a task will have two contexts. For example, the task "Get car fixed" may belong to both "Work" context and a "Personal" context since I use the car for work and personal reasons.
A: We are just considering supporting Area of Responsibility. :) I think it could solve your problem. What do you think of it?

Wow! managing dependencies between task could make a great difference when deciding your next action to do! Based on the prescribed dependencies, not "reachable" task could be filteres out by all views.
Please accept this as my vote for adding such a feature. -
