I know you are going to get a lot of flack for this one, but keep trying. You are on the right track. First and foremost you needed a tripod for this pic. But say you are out and about and see the perfect pic that requires a longer exposure and do not have a tripod...you can set the camera ond ANY steady surface...car, curb, newspaper box, you get the idea. Once stable use the timer on you camera to release the shutter because doing it manually will also cause blur with a longer exposure. Try at least these two steps and you will see a vast inprovement in the next night photo.
This is fantastic comment, and stuff that am looking for on dpchallenge. This will help me alot next time I need to do this type of shot. Thanks for your comment.

It took me a minute to get the title - instinct made me look for a bobby somewhere in the shot. Having the car blurred is fine, but it would have been nice if the buildings were sharp. Try a tripod, or at least sit the camera on or against something solid to help you out maybe.
Nice try at nightscape. For the lighting you were dealing with it, I'd say a very good attempt! In night shots, a tripod is absolutly necasary!!! if nothing else, bring your tripod, and forget your camera at home, lol.
Motion blur can be very effective, but the idea is to have at least SOME of the photo in focus, and the object/creature that is moving is blurred. Try with a tripod next time, and use either a timer or a remote release.
I find a higher aperture value and sometimes a filter help to decrease blow-out & blur in night shots. I always use a tripod or set my camera down on something & use a timer to shoot.
