Krikor,
I've been playing with blender a long time -- I can't remember where I picked it all up. Blenderartists.org's forum is the best place to learn. The wiki here has some tutorials too.

To make cars I recommend starting from a cube and then cutting, pushing and scaling until it looks right. They really aren't that hard to do. The main things you should know are shift-r for cutting a new edge loop, the proprortional editing tools, w -> smooth for smoothing rough bits and then the basic grab (g) scale (s) and rotate ®. Also, ctrl+e gives you the edge menu where there are a lot of edge-loop tools that let you keep your model organized. Edge loop select in particular is helpful.

For cars starting from a blueprint is a good idea. View->Background Image lets you set the background of your window to the blueprint.

thelusiv,

Good point about the poly count. I'm actually well passed the limit now but it looks good reduced to around 3500. The exterior model is about 95% done
