nice cars.
did you want critique on the photos?
if so,
1st picture: has promise but composition needs some work, angles a little off, perhaps try moving a little more to the front corners, also include the full car in the picture. Exposure is also off, both the background and subjects need to be exposed properly, right now the subjects are too dark and the background takes over.
2nd picture: again has promise, but composition is still a little off, angle is good, but needs to have the full car in the picture. Also again the exposure is off.
what are you metering with for exposure settings? and what are you metering off of? If you need a more consistent way to meter with, that is cheap, easy, and reliable, try a using an 18% gray card, even if it is "primitive", just place it next to the subject, fill the viewfinder with the card, and take the reading.
again nice cars

AKY, how are my photos? 
Whats this grey card you're talking about? I just keep fiddling around with the shutter and apeture till I get it right...heh. I'm pretty good at it now, just takes me 1-2 sample/test shots and I get it pretty close to where it should be.

a grey card is just that, a grey card, usually 8.5x11 or so in size, you can get them at most camera stores. The card is an 18% grey which is considered neutral grey, it's what the camera tries to "see" in a scene, so by using the card you can get accurate settings.
