May I ask how you get it so that the car is in focus but the background is sorta blurry? I have a Panasonic DMC-FX9 camera, and am not sure if I have this ability.

For the motion shots I set the Autofocus to "servo mode" so it focuses on the fly. Aperture set at a small setting around f11 or F13 and shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/80. Then you just pan with the car firing off some shots.
The FX9 is more of a "point and shoot" camera which means the lens tends to have more of a smaller aperture vs. SLRs. Therefore, to get stationary shots with good background blur you will have to exaggerate the distance between subject and background. I would set it at the largest aperture setting and go from there. Panning shots will be a little more tricky since you probably don't have an AF Servo mode and burst mode. It can be accomplished though with some work.
