Michael,

Before:
After:
I haven't done a whole lot of motion blur to the background, kind of gone for the more subtle look. I think the blur around the car helps a bit though..
I'm just uploading a video to youtube sort of showing how I did it.

It's just a series of screenshots taken every one second, so it goes pretty fast, but watch it a few times. Keep an eye on the layers pallet.
There was a couple of times where I went ahead and added the blur on the background without feathering the selection so I had to go back and do that.
Notice that I duplicated the car layer and moved the bottom car over to the right a bit so that there was more blurred car towards the rear instead of just even amount of blur at the front and rear.

You upload files into your dropbox, get the public link and paste it here inside img tags. It's what I've done and that works

No worries, design is a tough field, but constructive crit and advice is very helpful. The best to do is like you said, keep playing around with it and experiment
