Advice on getting a feature?

[MaxHarvard]

I was hoping you guys could give me some advice.

I really want to get my car as a feature somewhere, i was hoping for Chevy High performance, super chevy or car craft. How would someone like myself go about doing that? Is there something i can do to increase my chances?

Thanks again,

i was wondering this too..

is it like a see and be seen type thing where you go to shows and constantly show.. or

you send in photos to every mag and subscription and wear the mags tshirts at shows and do naked cartwheels with the mag in your hand?

just playin..

you have a nice ride btw

I just talked to Mike Harrington over at Super Chevy. He was a really nice guy.

Unfortunately, he said i'm too far away for them to do a feature, but they would put my car in the readers ride section.

Its a start!

It seems to be very tough, you have to have a car that is unlike any other. I tried to get in the Mags to share my build with all the other LS1 swappers in the country, but it seems I have failed. I think it's my wheels! Anybody have some 17x11 5 spokes they want to borrow me for a week or two??

Besides, who wants to know how to build a 1000hp 20 mpg daily driver for real cheap anyway!


Phew, now with that off my chest ....... Have you tried a Camaro Mag????

[MaxHarvard]

Nope... but thats a killer idea! thanks!

If you have the "right" car...the magazines will find you...

If your car was closer we would shoot it..

In actuallity that's the main problem in most cases.. accesability. The first step is to make the magazines aware of your existance. The second step is to either go to where they will be or have a cool enough ride that they will come to you.

Coming to you doesn't happen much since it costs so much money. The best bet is that you are shot at an even that they are also attending. If you have a Chevy then the Super Chevy shows are a great place. For PHR the TRUE STREET and SUPER CHEVY DRAG RACE events are good bets.

Also, I am always posting here for cars. We have a big clip of cars around the country that we can draw from when we travel.

If you live in SoCal or Vegas then it's MUCH MUCH easier to get in.

Keep in mind that the most expensive car is not picked. it's the most interesting car (look at Alcino's Mustang II)
