If your struggeling with both nurbs and Pollys I would suggest doing a tutorial that goes over both (theres a BMW Z4 tutorial using nurbs available for free) and a theres lots of poly car modeling tutorials available to find your feet first before going on to tackle such a big project.

For me I would use polys, just thats because I suck at nurbs.
