Several places have used actual cars on T-shirts, and many of them have gotten in trouble for it. Look at what happened on TGO a while back. Car Domain is legal because it is just a webspace for people to show off their cars. If we used actual cars in a logo, that would be copyright infrigement because GM has copyrighted the likeness of every car it produces.

Basically:

Look at my pretty car = OK
Look at my car that has become a copyrighted logo for this website = not OK
