Guess we'll have to order in some fatback sandwiches and jelly donuts for Diana and Brian
Yes, you should take your car to the Vineyard. It's a good sized island and to enjoy it you'll want to be driving. You'll get the ferry out of Woods Hole and be on island in 45 minutes. Round trip at that time of year for car and two passengers is about $160-.
The Steamship Authority, Serving the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket for fares and schedules. Reservations are a must unless you want to chance stand-by for getting the car on the fery. If you chose to not take the car over there is a place in Vineyard Haven that rents MINIs but not sure what they cost....there's also a place in Oak Bluffs that rents sports cars by the day. That would be a hassle though to drive, park, do walk on ferry, walk or taxi to car rental, and then reverse the whole thing.
If they're still open in late Sept. a scenic place for lunch or dinner will be out in Aquinnah at Aquinnah Restaurant. The view makes up for the food although the clam chowder is pretty good. There are lots of places to walk the beach, lots of potters if you're into visiting those types of studios, lots of scenic farms, nice driving. Oak Bluffs will be quiet so that won't be much fun but being a weekend the shops will be open. The Campground in O.B. is fun to visit if you like unusual and Victorian architecture
