Awesome shots! How exactly did you shoot this? Because the camera and car had to be moving at the exact same speed and not change position relative to each other...otherwise, the car would be blurry like the bkg.

Did you do any photoshop to the images?

Amazing shots! Makes me wanna go out and buy a DSLR and do it w/my car!

Wow that shot is crazy good. So it was on a tripod and you drove by it slowly? You know its a great shot when people are asking how it was taken.

Can't be cuz then the car would be blurry...unless the camera was mounted in a fixed position relative to the moving object (the car).

In one of the pics, it doesn't seem like anything is moving since there's a light on the far wall that isn't streaked.

Very perplexing shot, indeed!

great observation! That flash of light was a slaved strobe off to camera left. As you know, strobes, unlike incandescent lights, only goes off for about 1/500 of a sec, so there's no way light coming from a strobe would streak.
However, the strobe didn't add any light to the subject (the car) as its power was turned down too low and the aperture was too small (about 16 or 22).

but the car indeed was moving..

here's a shot of the car when it was still:
