AO Layer

My texturing leaves much to be desired I think I actually like the AO layer best of all the renders.

Pretty cool user added image

Some motion blur might have helped give it a bit more of an action feel.

Hey not bad at all, I'd like to know whats going on with creepy torso guy lol. And yeah some motion blur would have helped this along, maybe some dust, wheel track marks and the like. The lighting could show a little less and thus create a creepier feel.

Thanks for all the feedback I will have to keep those types of things in mind. Funny my brother also mentioned the need for wheel marks.

Should the motion blur be done post processing in photoshop?

Any other suggestions?
