You might want to get familiar with the histogram function of your camera to help tell when shots have underexposed/overexposed areas.
I eventually grew familiar with it, but at the time I didn't really know what I was doing in general. I just saw something cool and pointed a camera in its general direction while pushing down on that button on top of it.

To me, seeing the car on the curb is exactly what gives it impact. A car like this could be found in any garage or junkyard anywhere, where finding one on a curb, with fire extinguisher fluid still wet on the ground, really sets a scene.
