Noob wanting car photography help

[AMG7]

I just got into photography, car photography in specific.

My first DSLR camera is a Nikon D40 with a 18-55mm lens. I have some experience with HDR photomatix and photoshop. Registered to this forum so I can get some advice and tips on photography!

Heres a picture I edited, first rolling shot

My friends girlfriend took the picture, but I had fixed the settings on the camera since I was driving the car
