So, I don't want to seem like a dick... i know it'll come off like that. but, after looking thru a lot of the pictures on here, I've spotted one little thing 'you' could do to get some better photos of your car. This doesn't apply to all, but sometimes i just see a picture and think how much better it would be if the high of the camera was dropped just a foot or so. Sooooo.....
Tip:
When you go to shoot it, have the camera about hip high and stand back a ways. If you can zoom, play with that too. I'm going out now to shoot a photo, so I'll do two shots of one at eye level and another at the normal level I'd shoot it at. It'll be easier to see what I'm talking about then.
Generally, this tip applies to pretty much all photography subjects. Eye level, stinks. Even bending over so the camera is at nipple height will make a world of difference. This is why you always see photographers hunched over.
This isn't to say not to experiment. I've shot car photos from atop a ladder, but, those instances are pretty rare and usually it's the surroundings and not the subject that will dictate that.
