That looks like a nice S14. Do you want some tips on how to improve for your D70 shoot?

Just a few tips to help you improve:
Your need to find a happy medium between your subject (car) taking up the whole frame and only part of it. You want your subject to dominate (you've mastered that part) but you also want to show a bit of background. You picked your lcoation carefully, don't let it go to waste.

Detail shots are good (like your first picture), but try to find an angle that doesn't include parts of something else like the headlight and/or sidemarker. Not always possible, but it will greatly improve your shots if you can manage it.

Try not to cut off parts of your subject like your 2nd and 3rd shots. You may not have been able to avoid it because of space constraints (the red car?), but again if you can avoid doing it you will greatly improve your shots.

Lastly, your last two shots are out of focus. The camera needs areas of contrast to focus. The car is white, and in direct sun which means the camera will likely have a hard time focusing. In this case, try focusing on the fender where it can use the black/shadow of the wheel well area and the white of the car to focus.

Overall you've got a great start, number 5 is my favorite. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing your weekend shoot.

Like 94turbo said background is key! When you expose the background you create a setting or theme for the photo... Like a parking garage or warehouse... Also using the camera in different ways like vertical shots makes things interesting. Even if its light out i like to use a tripod to get steady crisp shots.

Editing your pics will also bring something to the pics. Like a border. Borders do magic for photos. It looks more professional and gives it a nice clean view. Other than that i can't really think of anything...

Green_Lantern is right. That's something I always plan to do, but I'm guilty of not doing it. Maybe a new tripod will help encourage me.
