Interesting thread....
I was recently contacted by a photographer asking to shoot my car for submittal to some car magazines. He used a bikini model for some shots, and did a nice job. Lots of fun! He has been submitting the shoot to various US car mags and, so far, the feedback is that although they love the pictures, their demographic these days just doesn't respond to these cars like they used to....they want to see "tuner cars" and "retro-mods".

The interesting thing here is that the car mags in Europe love the car!! "V8 Magazine" in Finland will use it, as will one in Germany and France. Go figure.

I guess what has already been stated above may be somewhat true, although for us "old school" guys, it's hard to accept. Regardless, for most of us at least, you have something you wanted since the first time you saw one back in the day. You probably worked you ass off doing whatever you do to finally be able to swing it. I am reminded of the great piece by Dr Hal Copple ("Hal C", "Dr Hal") about owning a Cobra. In his final statement, he says:
"Remember, there will come a day when you have to hang up your car keys for the last time, and you can say "I did it"...
