I’m not a fan of googled photo mash ups. They’re usually not done well and are more photo collage than anything else. The attempt to marry photos shoot in different light and perspective space always goes down the Photoshop destructive route of ending up too dark, too contrasty, too grainy or textured (to try to unify the varying resolution/grain of the multiple photos), capped off with an overall overkill tint, all done in the name of moodiness or edginess. Your image falls into that destructive Photoshopping category.

The car in your picture looks like it’s coming up out of the road as it’s perspective space doesn’t match that of the environment.
Note that the horizon in the car photo, you acquired, falls around the level of the ‘Cortina’ plaque on the hood:

If you like doing this kind of stuff, you should find photos (*with no copyright usage restrictions) that are more well matched in lighting, color grade, resolution and perspective space to manipulate.

What is your goal?
I’m sure if you if you continue your tutorial search you’ll find something for beginners. Look for some on the specific software websites as well.

What you need to learn, more than any 3D software or any software instruction, are the critical foundations of visual art. Without that knowledge, your work will always have glaring artistic weaknesses that no software tutorial can ever fix. I suggest you head on over to the Art Techniques & Theories forum (linked below in my signature) and read the sticky threads–they will make far more difference in your artistic development than any 3D tutorial ever will.
