Hi all
I have been working on getting my white balance a little more accurate. Heres my latest attempt. it was taken in a parking garage late at night. I am heavily involved with car clubs, hence all the car pics...lol...:)

Car is good but honestly, it doesn't do anything for me.

The light falling on the bonnet seems rather harsh especially when you compare it to the side where there are shadows. To even it out, I would recommend a flash of some sort. (maybe on your future purchase list)

WB seems good here which is hard to do, from the light, seems it was white. Most of the local car parks have nasty orange lighting over here which sucks.

Oh, try to have the car further away from the fence as it just looks like you took a picture of someone as they were pulling out. Second shot, the wheels should be facing away from the camera.

This is a hot ride, if you get to shoot it again, get lower to the ground. Give the car some stature.

Thanks elysium. Your right though...we dived into a parking garage on the way home...stopped the car, jumped out and snapped away. It was really just to get some shots to work on the white balance. Weather permitting, I am going to plan a photoshoot this weekend. I'll try and take my time with it.
I have yet to try using a flash...definitely will try that.
Thanks again...:)
