Set the shutter to about 1/60, keep an AF point on a part of the car (headlight, mirror, whatever) and take the pic.

Fast enough to not be blurry and slow enough to keep some movement in the photo.

EDIT: This is 1/30 on a Lumix point & shoot:

also from an artistic standpoint, in order to reach that look you take the photo of the object in motion, but you must be in correlation with thier direction and speed.

for opposite affect take the picture stationary and target the back ground and the object will look like its moving.

most high end cameras can compensate this on thier own given you know how to set them up, but if you have an average camera, this is how you can reach the desired affects.
