Nice pics man, love the cars. Good stuff from someone who hasnt taken formal classes. Here are a few tips:
With a point and shoot, to acheive the best quality photos you should really set your Fstop, ISO and Shutter Speed yourself. On my Kodak P&S there is a setting called PASM. It will vary from camera to camera. Once you do, your camera will tell you if the picture is going to be dark or light, and you can adjust from there.
When shooting things like cars, I always keep my Fstop really low. Meaning the aperture(opening that light passes through) is larger. This lets in more light for one thing, but it also greatly reduces the focus range. In other words, your foreground and background will be out of focus, while keeping the subject in focus. It aids in emphasizing the subject and making it 'pop'.
Also, keeping a low ISO is very important. ISO is the basically the size of the silver flakes in traditional film, for digital it is referring to the size of the grain in the picture. The higher the ISO, the more light can be 'absorbed'. The lower the ISO, the less light can be absorbed, however the clarity of the picture can increase dramatically. Rule of thumb is too always use as low of an ISO as possible, 80 or 100 if able.
Lastly, Shutter speed is important. If you set your ISO as low as possible, around 80 or 100, and your Fstop to 2.8 or so, your pictures may come out dark. Here is a general rule of thumb: 1/60th shutter speed is about as slow as you can go without a tripod or base. 1/125th(and higher) is about the speed at which moving things will no longer blur(depending on how fast they are moving). If you are doing a 'chase' and pacing your subject, then something around the 1/125th or 1/250th range should work well. If you are looking for a motion blur background and blurred rims, try 1/125th or 1/60th. If light is an issue, you can use 1/60th or 1/30th but just be weary of holding it steady or using a base.

Thanks man, Those are some awesome tips. My camera has a manual metering mode, which is what I used when I took these pictures.

Some of the pictures are just too overexposed or underexposed. Learn to set the exposure just right so that your pictures dont turn out too bright, or too dark. ISO can also contribute to too much light or too little, but usually you want a lower iso if your taking daytime pics. Even though your camera does have manual settings, some of the preset daytime settings are just perfect. For instance the picture below was just taken with just the present "daytime" settings.
