Default Nighttime Automotive Photography

I had never played around with nighttime photography before, but came across an interesting-looking Volkswagen Corrado last night while I was out walking around, and pressed the shutter button a few times. I had no flash or tripod, and I can absolutely see why they're recommended (required?).

Anyway, I wanted to get a little feedback on what I consider the best single outcome of the short, adhoc, amateur nighttime shoot:


Slight exposure bump and watermark added, no other post processing.
Camera: Nikon D40x
Lens: Tamron SP AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di LD Aspherical (IF) (A05) (@ 18mm)
Aperture: f2.8
Flash Used: None
ISO: 400
Exposure: 1.3 sec


The other images that weren't horribly blurred or out of focus are up here, if you feel like seeing more:
