Amee has outlined some useful tips for shooting indoors under that type of lighting, in addition,building on what Amee mentioned, is that I find the most valuable tool to bring out the proper, more pleasing colors is adjusting your white balance accordingly to allieviate the yellow tinge. Those of you fortunate enough to have cameras with the ability to tune by kelvin will appreciate this even more.
Also adjust your aperture for maximum image clarity, to achieve desired depth of field and lighting effects. Really adds to the shine of the car when done properly, and the background ambient lighting/features appear better too, staring reflections and lighting.
Oh, and yes, dont feel like a dork lugging around a tripod, may look strange, and people might look at you and think "what a dork" but whatever, they wont be saying that when they see your photos.
Happy Shooting.
man, i got made fun of pretty bad when i lugged my tripod around, hahaha. definitely worth it though.
