The first set of night shots were definitely better. BUT, if you're truly looking for some constructive criticism, try this...

1.) Composition: Unless you're incorporating an amazing background, fill more of the frame with the vehicle. Otherwise, the background is too distracting.

2.) Lighting: Many of your day shots are very plain. Use the sun to get better reflections off the paint, or "starbursts" off the chrome or windows. You can also use one of those metallic looking sunshades ($6.00 from Autozone) as a reflector. Have someone hold the reflector to aim the sunlight where you want. This gives you more choices of where the sun can be without making the vehicle look dark.

3.) Depth-of-Field: On some of your wider shots, try this...
a) set your focus to manual
b) zoom all the way in on the vehicle and focus
c) now zoom back out to the shot you want

This will make the background blurry, making the car stand out much better.

Also, try taking shots of the car moving, following the car with your camera. If you use a fast shutter speed or high-speed film, the background will "streak" behind the car. This also looks great.

Good Luck!

Pretty good advice. I'll try to follow that next time I take pics.
