Urban Sketching Practice: Drawing Vehicles with Vibes Not Realism

I have been doing more en plein air sketching, what seems to be more commonly known now as Urban Sketching, even when it's not in an urban environment... this irritates me a bit, as the name change is driven by the algorithm not need or actual use. AS I sketched more locations I noticed that my drawings were okay except for an item ubiquitous in US urban and suburban locations- vehicles; specifically cars, SUVS and trucks.
Salt and Sand Plow
Bus
Pick Up
Work trucks
Xfinity Trucks
Salt and Sand Truck, Small
My cars, SUVS, and trucks sucked. Truly awful little gum drops.
HAtchback
Sedan
Beaten Up Mercedes
Honda Fit
Chevy of Some Sort
I did my usual thing and decided to dedicate some time to drawing them. Not with accuracy, because no, that's not going to be my thing. Like my portraits I decided to draw them with vibes and not realism. Thus far I'm feeling pretty happy with how they are coming out.
Jeep
Subaru
Nissan and a Truck
I'm using a combination of contour line drawing and looking at the tonal values- basically lines and shadows. I'm really digging faux ink wash combined with ink wash. REALLY digging using magenta ink on trucks.
