you need to do some serious tweeking of the mesh on the car, try building it as simple as possible, get the car blocked in, then go through adding the detail because at the moment some areas are not working and try to keep your polys to 4 sides. good luck

Seems pretty ok
But still bit hard for me since I'm not a car expert, not in modelling anyway!

Make things a bit trounder I guess andthose exhaust are bit TOO much, since they should not be next but on top of each other.
imho

Acid it seems like the mesh is coming along but I would advise that you look at the flow of some of your edge loops and perhaps try and reroute a few to get a cleaner mesh, also it looks like you might get a little pinching here and there due to the fact that some of your edges seem a little bunched.I don't think this mesh is beyond fixing up though ,just spend a little time on refining it before continuing on.
