So... Light bounces off objects to reach our eyes, but, is it possible that a "Miniature Black Hole" could absorb the light that bounced off a certain object meaning it wouldnt reach our eyes?
Lets say I see a car, but then suddenly a miniature Black Hole appears which blocks the light from reaching my eyes, hence I wouldnt be able to see the car, could it really happen?

a miniature black holes usually refers to one that is on a microscopic scale.. this is a theoretical thing that they hope to create with the new particle accelerator/smasher that is being built in i believe france(somewhere in europe)... Brian Greene's "fabric of the cosmos" explains it much better.. so i think that your question wouldn't be possible.. if a black hole was big enough to block the light you would probably be dead..

It's entirely possible... but the problem with having a miniature black hole appear in front of your eyes like that... is the gravitational pull.
You see... the gravitational pull of a black hole is SO strong that even light can't escape it... and as such, EVEN if it were a miniature, TEENY WEENY black hole, you'd still get sucked into it... as would everything around you. Cars, puppies, trees, etc.
So... I wouldn't be too concerned about the car you're looking at... it's gone... and so are you.
My belief is that this is what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, and Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career.

Depends on what you mean by miniture. If it's your typical mini-hole (the size of a proton but heavy as a mountain), then it wouldn't intercept enough light to cause any real effect. However, if it didn't suck your car into itself......after ripping it apart, it would cut straight through it like a hot knife through butter.
Funnily enough, so long as it didn't reach escape velocity, it would (if it was moving) just oscillate up and down through the Earth until it came to rest in the very centre of the core. Where it would be weightless:):). Unfortunately, it'd also be reaching the end of its life (from evaporation via Hawking Radiation) and when it exploded, it'd take the planet with it!!!.

Well assuming you yourself aren't sucked into said black hole, you would see more than just a car disappearing. Black holes don't discriminate no matter how small they might be - it wouldn't suck in the light from just that particular car while letting everything else pass through it. If it was possible for one to form(which it 99% probably isn't), then you would most likely see just that - a black hole in space, not just a missing car.

It could happen, but black holes, would not only prevent you from seeing the car would prevent to see anything, plus black holes have an incredible gravity pull so everything near the hole would be sucked into it leaving very distinctive marks, bottom line you can't get away with a car crash and blame it on black holes [:P]

I don't think black holes come that small.
Inherently, a black hole is an area of space/time with negative gravity. It absorbs matter and grows.
If a miniture one opened up in front of your face it would start sucking in very small particles (like photons/light) and as it grew, by absorbing matter, it would increase its antigravity (it's ability to counteract gravity).
Supposedly/theoretically because it is so gravitationally powerful that nothing can escape from it. It will start sucking in larger and larger particles.
It's power will grow exponentially and within seconds, it will suck your eyeballs out of your head!

No
You are better of with a curtain. Black hole sucks light of course. But It will suck you and the car and everything. Close your eyes. You wont see the car. You don't need a black hole

Hi,
As far as I know a black hole those not appear out of nothing. There must be a star for the black hole to appear.
For example the sun. A black hole occurs when the sun dies out. Stars leave blackholes after they die. Not all of them!
