have a nice long lens, a bright, overcast day (diffuse bright light is what you want) and set yourself up in a corner, it will be a lot easier stopping motion of the cars coming AT you versus traveling left to right in front of you.

panning with the car can help (and blur the background) but it can be difficult to master.

Carsightings, you have to keep topics to the same thread, if theyre the SAME topic. Its pointless opening new threads over and over if theyre the same thing.
