I chose cars/automobile because I hope they are everywhere and hopefully easily accessible as so many of us may have limited opportunities to wander our area. Car designers put thought into their logos, curves and lines and details. I don't know that many of the new cars are very distinctive from one another, but there usually is something that sets a car apart. If you're lucky enough to find an antique car show in your area or stumble across and older car style, shoot away!
A lonely car in an expansive landscape also makes for an interesting minimal image. Or maybe a car by itself on a road or a bridge. Don't be limited by cars, if you see an interesting truck or bus and express it minimalistacly, I won't be apposed. Have fun, challenge yourself and I look forward to your entries!

Here is an example of mine:


Regarding minimalist photography in general :
Minimalism is the art of less. As a life philosophy, minimalists focus on a few essential elements of life and cast unnecessary things aside. Minimalist photography uses a minimum amount of components such as color, shape, line and texture to emphasize the subject matter.
