THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT NOVA !!!
Ignoring the fact that this 1 litre, 15 year old hatchback is adorned with all manner of plastic accoutrements, a spoiler akin to a pantograph and a silly exhaust, the parking is abysmal.
He's 3 feet from the kerb at the back, parked on double yellow lines outside a hospital emergency department...

Serge.D, if I may add some constructive criticism to your sightings. If we can't actually see the car, we can't call it GOOD. I feel your pain when trying to catch something only to have it come out blurry and that one in a thousand chance is gone. A bad photo of a good car should be left on your hard drive for another day.
I appreciate your effort and please keep them coming but, only when it’s the best you've got.

i think he's referring to the stude pic. theres a window in the way, im thinking thats some sort of dealer.
If you take a pic straight at a car though a window the flash is just going to reflect straight back at you and ruin the picture. Try coming from a different angle so you dont get reflected light into the lens.
Your pictures will also depend on the camera you're using and of course how steady your hands are.
If you can change the ISO sensitivity of your camera, great, the higher the better, some go as high as 800 or more, any lower than 400 makes night pics difficult.
Hold your arms close to your chest and if you've got a viewfinder and an LCD screen try using the viewfinder. It may seem awkward at first but you'll be able to hold the camera tight to your head, bringing your arms in and stabilizing it at the same time. Slow shutter speeds are always going to be a problem and only shoot when you're sure you're as still as possible.
The built in flash on most digicams will be pretty crappy for outdoors pics unless you're fairly close to your subject and since, in this case, the subject is rather large that makes things difficult.
If you can find somewhere to rest your camera, ie a wall, this will be your best bet, but if not, invest in a small portable tripod just in case.
Good luck Serge D.
Sort of on topic: i havent seen anything worth mentioning and have not been able to get any pics for a long time, though yesterday i saw an RX-7, those are fairly uncommon around here (as in ive only seen about 4 in my lifetime).
