Ok bro, here are my unbiased opinions. Take from it and let me know 
#1 - Im not really sure what you were intending to shoot, but its a tad dark. keeping the aperture constant (so as not to change your depth of field), i suggest a longer shutter speed or higher ISO.
#2 - I really like the concept behind this. my only comment is the flare. Im not sure if you had a lens hood, but if you dont, it would be nice to use one for shots like these. changing the angle (top view looking down) would kill the flare. also a bit more foreground light/exposure would be great.
#3 - this one looks great. i miss a bit of detail on the lower part of the bumper, but thats to be expected as you have a black car. very impressive.
#4 - focus on this one is a tad soft on the car. the background seems to be sharper. the pole and the cable hanging kinda destroys the frame. cloning them out would have made it much better.
#5 - very nice shot, good angle. love the shine on the wheels
maybe clone out the white spots behind the car on the ground, but thats it.
#6 - the pole and cable really hurt this shot. cloning those out would improve it dramatically
#7 - good angle but bad crop - the crop was too tight, and the wheel is cut off.
#8 - same as #6, the pole and cables detract from an otherwise good pictue.
#9 - not really liking this angle. the hood and lower lip are cut. back off a bit (go wide) and get the whole car in.
#10 - not sure about this one. a tad too dark up front, and i really cant get the cables out of my line of sight
#11 - good shot, just a tad tight on crop and also a bit skewed. otherwise, exposure is quite alright.
#12 - I like this shot. maybe if you had the headlights on to give a more dramatic effect.
#13- not a fan of the rear of the TL (even mine), but your exhaust looks great
#14 - car is otherwise a tad underexposed. the background can stay in the same exposure index. love the composition.
#15 - looks good for a magazine shot. love the exhaust tips
#16 - the glare on the passenger side headlight takes a bit away. but otherwise the composition is good. turn on the headlights to add some detail inside the housings
#17 - same as #16, need some lights on the tails here.
#18 - shot feels kinda akward since the wheels are turned the other way. lights on and the wheels turned to the right, plus maybe a wider aperture to blur out the background
#19 - needs more detail in the foreground. keep the same aperture and push the ISO or drag the shutter longer.
#20 - clone the lone pole. otherwise its a good shot.
#21 - not bad, really liking the wheels.
#22 - crop is a bit tight, you lost the bottom part of the wheel rim.
#23 - This one, by far, is the best as I went along. I love the sky and the composition.
#24 - same as #16 and 17. turn on those tails.
#25 - crop is a bit tight again. you lost part of the rear bumper.
#26 - car is a tad dark, and again, the poles and cables detract the eyes from the car. drag the shutter, open the aperture or push the ISO, and clone out the pole/cables
#27 - HOE-LEE-CHIT! you're speeding! LOL
#28 - lights on. seriously, you have some shots that would improve a substantial amount by turning on the lights.
#29 - a tad dark. you need to try and read your histogram. more light, more light, more light
#30 - THE ONE TIME YOU TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS! LOL. nice garage. im jealous, mine isnt as airy as yours
#31 - too soft, and a bit OOF (out of focus). but i guess its a panning shot right? not bad, JUST MISSING THE LIGHTS
wow thats a lot of pictures. good job nonetheless.

Jeez, you are a tough critic! But I really do appreciate it haha. I agree with you on most shots, and you being more experience have more of a clue than I with setting the correct exposures haha. For some of the pictures, I tried to have a "dark creepy" look to them. But like you said, whenever I try that, the pictures as a whole becomes too dark. I'm going to take your advice and go at it again later on
personally, I am with you on the darker theme of pics. I like to just use highlights and key lighting (i also prefer night shots more). here are a few I have done recently (if you dont mind). i can even share with you how I set these up:
feel free to ask me whenever. Im always here to help

LOL I didnt mean anything negative about them. You have come a loooong way and Im very happy you have made very good improvements in your photography. just keep on shooting. the "aha" pic is usually found in the middle of the "crap" pics
