For still car pics, try a variety of settings - it will be heavily dependent on the ambient light. One thing I've noticed is if the car lights are on, they blow out the exposure. The photo in my sig was taken with the lights off, and with about 5 seconds to go on a 20 second exposure (at about f/8 I think), I hit the unlock button. Experiment with this.

I use a lot of f/8 to get a good balance between large depth of field and a reasonable shutter speed. Also, most lenses are sharpest around f/8, +/- a couple stops.

Another fav trick is a hella powerful spot light and paint the car. Again, with a 20-30 sec exposure, use the spot light to "paint" the car with the shutter open. Cool effects can be had. Experiment!!!!
