Maybe it's because you're shooting with a Nikon? Hahah, just kidding.
But I've noticed with Nikons that if you don't use a Nikor lens, it just doesn't look right. Was this lens a Nikor?
And instead of sacrificing your depth of field because of low light, try bumping up your ISO instead of your aperture. Nikon is famous for quality at really high ISOs, and it's not like you're putting any of your pictures on billboards, so you don't need a really high quality image, just one that'll look good at screen resolution. This way you can shoot at f/8 @ 1/125th with 1600 ISO maybe instead of f/1.8 @ 1/60th with 100 ISO? (Just guessing at what those numbers are XD)

haha. nahh. errbody know nikon is teh best!!!11!!1!! lmao..

but yeah it is a nikkor 50mm.
i wanted teh bokeh so i had to shoot wide open. lol

my numbers were sumthin like f/1.8 i cant remember shutter speed but it was pretty long.. i use a tripod and 200 ISO..
i rarely shoot at something higher then 200. id rather sacrifice shutter speed to get all the light then bump up the ISO. lol.. im kinda OCD about that.

the downfall of the 50mm in that situation was the user. me. lol.. i just couldnt focus.. it was pretty annoying. another thing is that in the pic with the blue miata there were flares like hard core. its as if light reflected between my uv filter and the actual lens. idk..

If you wanted the shallow depth of field like that, I would've used a large aperture, like f/4, but f/1.8 is a little too open for what you're shooting.
You used a tripod? It seems like you still have camera shake, which is odd. Try setting a 2 second timer, that way you're not creating camera shake when you press the shutter.
But for real, you can push Nikons way higher on ISO than just 200. Just sayin...
