To get her to stop chasing cars, carry very delicious dog treats when you go on walks. Then teach her an attention command, like "here" or "watch me" or even just say her name, and when she looks at you, give her a treat. Practice doing this when there are no cars around (so she's not distracted) until she's really good at it. (Only practice for 5 minutes or so at a time, or else she will get bored.) Once she's really good at paying attention to you, practice doing the same thing when the cars are around. The idea is to teach her that you are more exciting than the cars, so she should pay attention to you, not them.
Your dog is very young - she is like a 2-year-old child. If you try to think of yourself like her "mother" instead of her "owner," it might be easier to not get upset when she doesn't listen. Dogs are like young kids - sometimes they do what you want them to, and sometimes they can be very frustrating! So you just have to be patient, and consistent, and creative enough to find ways to teach them :)
