Sorry for the belated comment. To start off, is this a panoramic view? Does look so, but I like that it has a wide canvas ratio. The first thing that I notice is that it feels to me, personally, as though the camera is slightly tilted. It cuts off the graffiti on the left, which I would have liked to see more, given it's urban photography, and the lower mirror is cropped. Either a bit wider ratio, or balancing the level to crop the lower mirror would have helped to.  The car's structure being darker and cutting it in the middle of the image, gives a duality to the image that I like. The overall look gives it a feeling as though it's some part of documentary shot, and something is about to happen, but it kind of falls short of that with how it's framed. Given you are showcasing rural town in Mexico city, the left side is justified. I would have liked a bit more focus on something in particular, either the graffiti, the mirror, or the alley in the front.

I really like the unconventional choice of the wide aspect ratio. Also the warm colors and the "dreamy" lighting work nicely together. The rear mirrors are very interesting - i really like that part of the image. Maybe put them more in the focus with cropping.
I have to say the left part is a little bit "boring" as there is such a big empty space there. I also feel the cut at the bottom is a little bit unfortunate since you have this very thin line visible from the car - I would either cut that off entirely or give it more space.
Don't know why you added these vertical lines across the picture - I don't think they add anyting. What was your intention?
And maybe think about not putting the watermark right in the middle of the picture (especially if you upload your picture in such a low resolution).
All in all a really creative and interesting idea with a lot of potential. Maybe make a series out of that where you have these wideangle shots out of your car in different areas.
Series help a lot to evolve as a photographer I think. They help you focus on a certain "theme" or aspect and find different photos that "help" each other to deliver a message.
Thats all for now Good luck!
