I know it's not straight, I didn't plan on having it thatway!!

The effect is a little heavy-handed, but it's reasonably good.
The alignment is indeed obvious.
The framing could also be better, incorporating the sides where the wheels are, and having the car isolated from the background (though I appreciate this may not have been possible).
Not a bad result overall.

I like it.

It's a good candidate for HDR and you've captured the spirit of the technique. Certainly it could have been framed better but you realise that and will no doubt take more care with composition next time. In the meantime, you might try selecting the back wal and applying a little Gaussian blur, just to make some of that horrible brickwork a little less intrusive.
As you'll have gathered, no doubt, not everyone likes HDR, but it has its place and its subjects and I think you've given it a good go here. Keep on!

I like the whole effect! First of all I love the way they did the car and secondly, I love the way that you have portrayed it. It's great, may not be natural, but you've made the car look really nice.
