我车开地慢;我开车慢;我慢慢得开车 。
Wǒ chē kāi de màn, wǒ kāichē màn, wǒ mànman de kāichē
And if you want add “very” in the sentence you can say these:
我开车很慢;我车开很慢。
Wǒ kāichē hěn màn, wǒ chē kāi hěn màn.
Please notice that there is not "de" anymore.

eh,remember a most rule of chinese:
only say the useful characters in a sentence.
我开车慢(wo kai che man)is enough to express your opinion,so "de" can be cut away.

You can say straightly: "Wǒ kāi de hěnmàn." You don't have to say: "kāichē", becouse when you say "kāi" the people will see that means "kāichē".
This scentence's grammer is about the "complement of state", usually,the structure is Verb + de(得)+adjective. The word after "de(得)" is a comlement which expresses the state. "hěnmàn"is a comlement here and it expresses the state of "kāi".
If you have to use "kāichē", you should say:"Wǒ kāichē kāi de hěnmàn."
Example sentence: "Tā pǎo de hěnkuài. (he runed very fast.)"; or you can say:"Tā pǎobù pǎo de hěnkuài."
