Would really need to see pictures..

Magazine cars arn't anything necessarily special.. they typically fall into two groups.

Cool cars
&
Cars with cool stories

The better the story behind the car the crappier it can be. Some cars, like the Ring Brother's Camaro are shot because they are like pieces of art. Other cars like Mary Pozzi's second get are shot because there's a great story behind the car.

I guess there's one more catagory.. cars that are driven hard. Although that could be considered having a "good story"

On thing that can kill getting a shoot is a bad stance or outdated wheels.

Another thing that matters is where the car is located since we can't shoot stuff that's far away and we only have so many freelancers.
