Before mastering giants you should aim to master the cast to handstand. For the very reason you stated, in a giant you know you can hold yourself in a strong position over the bar if you can cast to handstand. If you have been rushed to learn giants before mastering this essential prerequisite then this is probably why you lost it.

You shouldn't be doing handstands on 'the car' anyway, not safe! They are made for getting you to and from gym only!
Go back to the last progression that you feel safe with that you used to get them the first time, and build back up from there. You will get them again, good luck.

you're not strong enough. more bar conditioning.

yes, we have often been so focused on the actual giant and unfortunately not the cast.
