there was a thread on how to do it
ive never done but ive messed around a little
and ive found this method to be best

1. Make an alpha image from the picture of any given car.
2. Save that image as a .psd
3. Get a scenic image. One with alot of contrast between ground and sky is good.
4. Guassian blur scenic image without about at about 2%
5. Filter > Distort > Displace
6. Put in about 70-80 for the X and Y, you will have to place with these a little to get it right.
7. Select your alpha image when it prompts you.
8. Now set your displaced scenic image to soft light and place it over original photo.

There ya go, your car now reflects. The only thing left to do is adjust the color of the car to a greyish tone and possibly turn up the contrast.

also, the linear dodge is a layer mode, its located next to the opacity bit on the layers pallette
