None of them made me warm and fuzzy, If I had to pick one it would be #3, Nikon D40 isn't a bad camera at all, It really depends on what you are going to use the picture for.

Safety Car
Generally poles or trees that look like they are growing out of the car aren't good for wanting good photos. Also try to get a polarizer filter to help with some of the glares. Overall I'd say to try many different angles and stuff.
#1 is cool but the glares, shadows and large ceiling beam detract from it for me.
#2 is cool but it's not level and it's got trees growing out the other side of it. Also the car just doesn't seem to pop at all. Maybe some post processing (photoshop or equivalent) might help.
#3 & 4 are a bit better on color for me but trees and poles growing out of the other side of the car. And it's just too busy in the background.
great start on setting up some good shots. Here's some good car photography tips:

Try taking pictures on a cloudy day sometime. No glare, no annoying harsh reflections, no shadows, really brings out details. Clouds make a great filter. People always think sunny days produce nice pictures. Basically wrong unless you are looking for some special effect.

Drifting
Less buildings, more car. The background should emphasize the car and should not draw your eyes away from it. The parking garage one is a good start. Now get a lot closer. Try laying the camera on the ground and snap a shot or two. You will be amazed. Make sure all four wheels are visible. May sound strange but it makes a big difference in the shot.
Drive around an industrial park near your home. The side of warehouses are perfect because the are usually pretty plain and provide a very basic background that does not draw your eyes from the car.

Personally, I prefer the ones that are taken near grassy outdoor areas. Buildings clutter up the background and unless you are marketing the buildings they take away from the overall look. Nice car though.
