Tripod. Long exposure. Narrow aperature.
I'm thoroughly convinced that you can make anything look totally awesome with a small enough aperature.
Get low, take pictures down the lines of the car. Don't be afraid to get real close if you think something might look cool.
Last but not least, don't delete anything off the camera without looking at it on a full size screen first. Some pics may have bad elements but with the magic of digital, it's easy to take good slices of images for various uses.

My personal style is low angle, because normal height is boring...

repost.....
this is what i do when i take car shots sometimes...
we all see things from a certain perspective in life. that prospective is from 5'8-6' off the ground. i really dont care for pics taken from that height, unless its really good. so dont be scared to get on the ground with some worm-eyed view shots. something that ive always wanted to do, is go higher than the car. im really digging this right now....like the one attached.
something you should learn is composition. one rule is the rule of thirds. meaning picturing every shot to have a grid like this.
you want to place the horizons or any strong lines with the lines on the grid. and you want your subject to be where the lines cross. and picking the subject is important, you may be photographing a car, but you can make the subject, or the first thing the eyes turn to be the headlights, or the wheels. and DONT PUT STUFF IN THE MIDDLE. it really irks me. thats one rule, but one thing about photography, some of the best shots break all the rules. :exnbp:
depth. get some. you dont want a flat 2D image. you want to allow the eye to wander....
also, when you are photographing a moving car..."let the car move" so lets say the car is moving towards the right of the pic....frame the shot so that there is space in the right for the car to move to...
my mind just went off...so thats it for now.

I disagree with the above strongly.
