Hello Steve:
Yes, you are cheap. But, I can work with that. BTW, your $150 limit is about the same price as what you used to pay to buy and process 10 rolls of film. Normally, you should expect to pay $350 for a nice advanced amateur camera.
Anyway, if your main topic is car photos, then you will NEED a camera with a wide angle lens. This keeps you close to the car and prevents people from walking in between you and the car at car shows. You want to see a camera with a lens that gets down to at least 28mm - i.e. equivalent in 35mm film cameras - 24mm would be even better.
Take a look at this Canon and it has 14 MP:

Advantage: you will always have it with you. You cannot save that special moment if you do not have any camera.
