I think for first efforts they're not bad at all, however, you did ask for some feedback so here's mine:
Photo #1. The point of focus seems to be running down the middle of the car (the bonnet ornament seems to be the sharpest thing) and it takes the eye away from the signature on the door, which is where I'm guessing you want the eye to be drawn. I would have chosen a smaller aperture to increase the depth-of-field here so that the whole car was sharp. I do like the framing though!
Photo #2. I think the focus point is right here but this time it's the framing that I'm not so keen on. There's a lot of empty space on the right of the car and I think this would be better suited to a square crop in order to get rid of some of it.
Photos #3 & 4. Again, I think these would have benefitted from a smaller aperture to broaden the area in focus. Also there's quite a bit of empty space which doesn't really add anything to the pictures - a different angle when taking the photos would have helped.
Photo #5. The best of the lot! There's a little too much space around the top and the right (which you could easily crop out) and again I'd rather see a little more of the larger balls in focus, however, I can see the bullys / small kids story in there and it works well for me. A good photo.
Don't let any criticisms put you off; like I said at the start these are very good for first efforts so keep practising and soon you'll be quality photos time after time...
