digitalp1mp, there's plenty of tutorials out there for vehicles. It really depends of the type of vehicle you want to make. The best way is usually to get the blue prints and work off those.

Check out the tutorial section on http://www.3dtotal.com/ to get you started. I believe there is a car tute on there.

Well i'd guess many people here started by taking a look at help files and tutorials that come with the software, as well as looking out the web for resources on modeling, texturing and so on.
Take a look at other people's works for inspiration, make yourself a couple concept sketches and you're on your way !
