Yeah, a cars not the best thing to model on your first MAX hours, or even days/weeks/months/years :p I know I didn't try to start modelling a car for about 3 years, but I'm slow at the learning of the modelling process :(

To edit it like that, its pretty basic stuff, which is why you should definietly get to learning other types of modelling first.

Basically, in the subselection method, since its been turned into an Editable Polygon, they've gone into Edge mode (or poly mode), highlighted the edge (since its flat), and then extruded outwards to create more verteses.

You then just keep doing that, correcting in the Sub vertex mode as you go, and edit from different views, while chamfering/smoothing to get the desired results.
