looks good Chris. But when you are shooting pics of the driver's side of the car turn your wheels the other direction... that way there you don't see inside the wheelwell.

Cool angles. If I can be slightly critical, there's something about the lighting that makes it sorta boring -- try taking them closer to sunset.
Also, you have too many shots with too much pavement. For example, the first one might look better if you had pointed the camera higher so that the car was almost at the very bottom of the frame. Makes the building seem more towering and the light on the building is pretty nice. You can try backing up to play with the scale to find what's best.
Best advice is take hundreds of pictures even if you think they're redundant. Then look at them all and figure out what you like best. Also, I know it's just a point-and-shoot, but play around with the aperture. You'll get different amount of the background in focus that way and you might find that like certain things better than the other.

they look really good, especially for a point and shoot camera.
a coupele of things to watch, your lighting, and your focal point.
back lighting can be successful, but it can also be detrimental to an otherwise good shot in concept. it is not always, but a lot of the time better to have the light source behind you.
your focal point and focal depth is also very important. in your 2nd and 5th shots, the focal point is wrong, a lot of the car is out of focus. unless you are trying to focus on just part of the car, very close to you, like the pic of the trunk, it is better to pick an aperture setting that will allow the whole car to be in focus.
just my thoughts, pics look good, keep up the good work.
