MP is not the biggest role in here....

prolly a tripod, aperture and the lights setting is more important....

These were in auto mode. Had to edit the brightness down to get rid of some of the digital noise. Eh. It is what it is.

Actually, it's not what it is. You have total control here... that's why you bought a DSLR intstead of a point-and-shoot.

Step One: Get out of Auto.
Set a lower, less noisy ISO than what Auto is going to choose for you. 100 is of course, ideal.
Aperture can be tricky with large objects like cars. Do you want the whole car to be in focus and sharp? Try a 5.6 or narrower.
Use the light meter at the bottom of the viewfinder to determine your shutter speed. Move the shutter speed faster of slower until the pointer sits in the center. With white cars, it can be tricky. Try to meter on something that's somewhere between the brightest white part of the car and the darkest black to get a good compromise. Then you can adjust exposure, shadows, highlights and contrast in post. Lightroom has a noise reduction slider that doesn't effect brightness.

In a pinch, any stable object can become a tripod. I've taken off my shoes and used them to cradle the camera for a low shot. Think like MacGuyver!

Well the only thing I did with my Z was remove my 9mm from it and carried it with me to the movies to see The Hangover 3! I don't want any surprise Batman premieres. The movie was better than the last one.

Now Friday night I've got my D-Box tickets for FF6!

I had to stop because I remembered a lesson my father taught me and that was to never fight an unarmed opponent. It's just not sporting.

I am quoting so he can see...

If all she has is her hands... it's not really possible for low ISO even with f/5.6...

For the white color, she may adjust the white balance manually, if the camera can set the WB using the value of color-temperature (k).
