Well, get a full frame camera. Get a 15 mm diagonal fisheye lens. As a little bonus, I enabled the in-camera HDR function (set to 'natural') and, *click*.

(Or rather, when you shoot HDR, *cli-cli-click*)

One of the last shots I took from my now-sold car. Here's a more artsy one, made with a Lensbaby:

What full frame camera do you use?
Also you don't need to get a full frame.. Easy to get good shots with m4/3 or APS-C even, though you will need a wider lens (sensor size equivalency). I say this because the cheapest full frame is $1450 body only (D600) and $1900 with the kit lens, and full frames are only substantially better on gigantic prints and low light.
(I'll take a shot with my NEX5T and post later today)

You're right, nowadays it doesn't have to be full frame. There are diagonal fisheyes for cropped sensor camera systems.

I use a Canon 5D mk. III with the Sigma 15 mm f/2.8 EX DG lens

Gorilla-pod or otherwise strap the camera to yourself, set the aperture so that you get a 10" exposure, and go for a drive at dusk.

Word. APS-C + 8mm fisheye would produce similar results :) (Though 8mm * 1.6x = 12.8mm 35mm Equivalent Field of View)
