i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

You have to manually focus.

Ok... well, not to simplify the process, but I'll be happy to share the technique.
First, yes... you must manually focus. You locate the area you're going to hit your mark and set the focus accordingly.
Now, to get the transparency, a couple of elements have to be right. There should be a reasonable opening among the branches and trees, you need to be positioned so that the trees are comfortably situated in the foreground between you and the subject... further away from you is preferable... and you MUST use an extremely slow shutter.
The key to the slow shutter is also that it is counter balanced by a small aperture. In this case f/18 - so you've got an increased depth-of-field that is a little bit more forgiving on the focus too.
You need to burst, also... probably 5 frames... the first and last are definitely throw-outs, but they start your rhythm and absorb the shutter punch going in and pan rate fall-off on follow through. The middle three frames are where you hope to get lucky... right hole in trees.. and sweet spot of where the car is dead parallel to film plane or lens face.
Lastly, shoot a lot.

But, yeah... you got a pan smooth... on target ... and kind of steady.
