I was contacted by PHR about a doing a feature on my car.
This happened thru contacts (thanks Steve!) made on this site.
I believe that often times they want to feature cars that will actually be driven. I was fortunate in that I was willing and able to take my car to a drag racing event for some track time and the feature shoot.

A word of caution:
If you are lucky enough to be picked for a feature be prepared to work your ass off
My cars shoot took 6 hours and me and my 2 buddies worked like borrowed mules the whole time... Moving the car,sometimes pushing the car while crouched behind the rear bumper for time lapse photos, picking up trash like cig butts that might be in the photo,adjusting light reflectors,holding a canopy over the car to dim the ambient lighting and even crawling under the car to hook-up camera mounting apparatus...
Oh and I almost forgot...fetching Johnny Hunkins Red Bulls whenever he snaps his fingers
Obviously no regrets but it is a lot of work!
