They're OK. Might look nicer with a custom white balance (WB). And generally cars look better with some light still in the sky to reflect nice highlights into them. See the links in my Sig, and...

Finally, sorry, but in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES only allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of both totaling 8 per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.
You may add a few additional photos if requested, but only in a reply to other member's post and request.

they look like nice cars, but it's hard to tell given the lighting

OK, point taken for next time but how do I do it when It's dark outside I did this all hand held. Also the street lights were yellowish so how do I do custom WB in those conditions?

As I said, "dark outside" isn't the best situation. "How" would be to use a tripod so you can keep the ISO low.

Also the street lights were yellowish so how do I do custom WB in those conditions?

You're the judge of your own image, & if your monitor, browser, & post processing utility are properly calibrated & color managed, I think it's more useful to adjust by eye for a pleasing image. Then there's this: Grey Card who uses one and which one ??

You can use the self timer for long shutter speed shots to avoid camera vibration, but eventually you'll want a cable release (external link) for it.

And a tripod quick release (external link).
