Glad to see you didn't sell the car, someone will respect the work you have put into your car and it will get a shoot.

It's not as easy as you think. You'll find out it's more of a "who knows who" game over all.

GEEEEEEEZZ Lilspark, don't rain on Sxxxt's parade before it even starts. Sxxxt-Go for it man, whether you get the magazine print or not at least you tried. Altho I feel pretty confident you will get it. I've went for quite a few things in my life, some I got , some I didn't, but I do not ever regret the times I didn't prevail. The only things I regret are the things I never went for. So Go For It Sxxxt.

Sorry for being honest dude.

Neon's just don't make it mags, often, sparingly, etc...

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:38 pm

Not raining on his parade at all I'm telling him what I have encountered throughout the years. I've had plenty of exposure, but getting a full feature like that is tough if you don't "know" the right people. Not only that you usually need a heavy amount of performance and looks. It's just how that industry goes. He may luck out, but I'm just telling him from experience.

I'm sure you have more to show for yourself than that.....I think you should change that to "It's my greatest accomplishment".

Eh. So we've got one person here who's truly got NEON magazine experience. Not much for collective knowledge.

Small-time dude outta Indiana, all the work himself, taken a few years...y'know, the same sob stories you hear in most magazines or whatever.

Stick with it man. Do what you wanna. Your work is very nice, and it will get the respect it deserves. If nothing, keep on doing things for your own sake, mang. Indiana FTW REPRESENT!

The bolded statement is 100% truth. Just keep at it, and don't fall into their bribes....I turned one down because they wanted me to put their stickers on my car, promote their magazine and attend two shows they were sponsoring. I'm not begging anyone for a feature....it's better when you earn it.

I'll be straight up, cars don't make mags with ebay specials. Or body kits for that matter. More of an OEM, clean looking automobile.

i think that itll make it to a feature...or something....hope it goes good for u zack...INDIANA REPRESENT

my buddy got into pas mag (not only was his car deserving of it, but it was political).

Sure it is nice to be in a mag but don't let it kill you. Do you have a big break kit? major engine work? ...your gonna need more agressive expensive wheels, retros?

You must pay attention to detail and the car must look just as good standing two feet away as it does 20 feet away.

pasmag is lame.

that company is falling apart.

from Toronto, and I'm pretty sure they ain't going to be around to much longer

(inside sources) so apply for another mag if I were you.

I know a photographer who works for pas.

My thoughts exactly.

And I also agree that PAS is FTL. More like POS.
