Correct your white balance and you have some nice pictures. Using the correct white balance will eliminate that nasty orange cast your camera captured. Incandescent city lighting is horrible for night photography. Your D3000 has a RAW mode too, which is also good to use at night. If you shoot in RAW format, you can adjust the white balance and the exposure settings in the post-processing stage. You can't do that with JPEG's. All you can do with a JPEG is "doctor" the photo with Photoshop.
Shooting dark cars at night without any strobes/flashes is pretty tricky. Especially if you put a brightly lit building in the background, it's going to screw your exposure up because your camera compensated for the background lighting and ended up under-exposing your car badly. Notice how the dark areas of your car all bled together so all the details were lost. An HDR merge may have worked in this situation, but even that would've been tricky IMO. You would've been better off not including the building in the background. If you had the building to your back with its lights illuminating your TL, it probably would have turned out a lot better.
