Need help choosing 3 for class tomorrow.

We had our first assignment for Digital Photography class, I have to take at least 20 photos of a subject and I can only choose 3.

I uploaded some of my favorite ones and I need help on choosing 3 shots for this class, we will post process them in class also but not yet. These pictures are un-editted and are straight out of raw from my camera and converted to JPEG. I also lowered the resolution. Help me vote which three to use you guys!

I can't do anything about post processing yet since I have to wait for my teacher's further instructions on what to do with it.

I'd say 3, 7, and 8. They're not perfect, but the others have some things that are bugging me (like, tires are not in focus, or a street light is growing from your front bumper, etc...). Here are my thoughts about those three:
3) Cool shot. I really like it, BUT that Si sign looks a bit...I don't know... as if there was hand shake - but only in that one place!
7) I like this shot as well Maybe (maybe! gotta try first...) a tighter crop?
8) Good shot! But it kind of looks as if horizon is a tad tilted (or car is tilted)
Those are my thoughts!
Hope you get a good grade!

Thanks you guys, and thanks PBO for the criticism. Looks like 3, 5 and 9 are winners so far. I have 3 more hours left until the photography class starts today.

No problem... Actually, 5 is the one where I said street light is growing from your front bumper You can probably get rid of that in PS, but seems like you have to show it to your prof. first.

I'd go with 1, 3, & 7.

1 is interesting with the star effect of the lights (a tigher crop might help this too)
3 let's you know what it is and the background helps the image
7 bo's right a little crop might help but this is the best one for me as it's all about lines and the car is placed in those lines very nicely.

OTOH
9 is sorta interesting but the bridges distract from the car and don't complement it. Normally a full on heads on view of a car is not that interesting, that's why veiws from the quarters are usually seen. 9 is not bad, it's just not as interesting.

Happy choosing.
