I'm not sure that's really the best composition for HDR. You really need major range variations in large segments of the image. I guess its hard to describe, but your image is mostly even exposure except fr small parts like the wheel wells, etc.
I like this shot from the HDR Pool on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/darrenstone/482301095/in/pool-hdr/
Just got to keep trying. I attempted HDR for the first time last week and failed miserably...

Dont discount the opportunities you do have as only snapshots. I was out at this place for an hour and the shots above were taken while I was setting my diopter adjustment. The light was nice so I composed each time, but the real purpose of the shot was just to test focus.
The point is, there's art everywhere you are since you create the art. Not to get to philosophical or anything...

Good question! It depends on the picture. If you have a clear delineation between light and dark areas (like a doorway or window), or if you have a smooth transition from light to dark areas then you can use masking in CS to create a single, well exposed image.
Example:
The sunset is nice, but the sky is much brighter then the car. To ensure I don't wash-out the color in the sky I expose 1 shot for the sky. To capture detail in the car I expose 1 shot for the car.
I bring them together in PhotoShop (almost any version) using a mask like this. The two exposures are represented by the white and black portions of the image.
Blending is up to you, but generally, you want there to be a gradual transition between any two points that touch in real life. In the shot above the two points are the tires and the ground.

that was 5 shots. ranging from -2 to +2EV
I started my shutter speed at 1/60 all the way to 1/4000 I think.
Photomatix does it easier with its tone mapping features.
I was out friday shooting with my friend (the one in the pictures) for the fun of it and I needed shots for my thematic photography final.
Since they are thematic they are supposed to be looked at in a certain order so I'll number em depending how you enjoy to view the threads.
