Featuring your car in Car Magazines can have many advantages for any Car Owners.
First, it will give a good documentation of your modified car for your effort and secondly, it
will provide you with a good exposure for your car if you want to sell it.
However, since there are millions of automobiles out there on the road, how can one attract the attention of Car Magazine to feature your car?
Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose BMW M3 manual was featured in 3 Car Magazines.
1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)
Car magazines works like newspapers, they need news to sell their magazines, hence to make the magazines notice you, you need give them a reason (some kind of news) for them. If your car has the first new modifications from a car tuner, that would be ideal as it will create attention of readers.
2. BE UNIQUE: CREATE a whole extraordinary car:
Your best bet is to start off with your mind to create something really special to your own liking, of course according to your taste. You don’t want to create a unique car only to hate it after the modifications. People want to see something special. “Extra Ordinary” always attracts attention. But remember to do it tastefully otherwise it will only attract negative attention. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to accessories or products from just one car tuner, you may mix and match with products of other car tuners or even from other makes of car tuners.
3. CUSTOMISED MODIFICATIONS: ATTENTION TO DETAIL:
Custom modifications attracts attention, it shows creativity and uniqueness too, that nobody else’s has. Car Magazines want to show unique parts to the world and people will want to buy the magazines to read and to check out the new parts.
4. BRIGHT COLOURS:
Car magazines love BRIGHT colored car, so if your modified car is of that, you have a point ahead of other car owners. You may have noticed this in all other front cover of magazines too. So if you plan to repaint your car, catch attention and make it to the cover, choose bright! (important note: choose a bright color that you can live with!)
5. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MAGAZINES:
Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a unusual car for them to feature. Find the best magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a tuner, you may want to ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they should have contacts to the Magazine publishers.
If you have a special unique car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it. Just think of it this way, Car magazines need cars to feature in their magazines every month! (At least six feature cars per issue). How are they going to find these new cars? If you have one and feel like getting it featured, capture some good pictures now and email them. You will have to let Car Magazines publishers and editors know of the existence of your Unique Car. Good Luck!

Sports cars are performance vehicles that provide driving pleasure. They allow one to engage in the absolute driving experience and be in touch directly with the highway or road, as diametrically as possible.
In the automobile industry where economy vehicles, “family sedans” and SUV’s dominate the field, sports cars definitely stand out.
These types of cars, for the skilled drivers, can give optimum performance on the road. Not all drivers are equally skilled, but to individuals who are capable of feeling and understanding the faint messages of these vehicles, they can indulge in a rewarding and satisfying driving experience since sports cars are intended to be driven fairly fast.
Because of this driving pleasure, many people likes to own a sports car. This is just one of the many reasons why people like these vehicles. Other reasons include:
1. Appearance. The aerodynamic design of a sports car makes it attractive to car lovers. Although when you are making an automotive purchase, this should not be the principal or only reason to purchase that vehicle. Functionality should be the main consideration even though beauty will also enter into your decision.
2. Driving features. While other vehicles are mainly designed for affordability, sports cars gives emphasis on performance and execution. The trait and condition of driving a sports car is a pleasurble experience often unmatched.
Keeping in mind their very discriminating car drivers, sports cars easily out perform the road execution of other automobiles. Drivers can easily accelerate when required, hug turns, and have a certain driving management not provided by most vehicles.
3. Fun plus excitement. The driving qualities of a sports car can provide excitement and fun.
One can spend hours talking about pleasurable experiences such as curve hugging while not taking one’s foot off the accelerator or zooming past slow moving traffic yet remaining in full control or talk about the feeling of satisfaction , and knowing that one is driving a car with superb engineering.
4. Duration and resale value. Each new vehicle depreciates the very second it is driven. However, sports cars will become more valuable as time passes, because of their above-mentioned qualities and are expected to become potential classics that will retain their value.
One does not need to make their car choice a statement, although if one chooses, the opportunity is right there. Owning a sports vehicle will make a statement about the owner’s personality.
