Default XMAS gift idea . . . a calendar

So for my Dad for Christmas this year I've decided I wanted to make him a surprise customized Calendar of our vehicles. Each car will get 4 pages dedicated to it, with cool factoids about certain aspects of the car. For instance, one will feature a moving shot of his car from behind, and will detail exhaust and rear end work that was done to the car.

I am going to be doing another photo shoot this coming week, whether permitting, and would like your ideas for angles and whatnot. Here is an example of what I'm doing. This will potentially be the cover, though I will probably Photoshop in a different background and get rid of the light posts.

The Saleen, due to the color and color of other vehicles takes the spotlight somewhat. But since its technically more his car than mine now, I don't think he'll mind lol.

MODS, feel free to move this if it's not tech related enough, though I don't post much outside this forum area, hence why it's posted here.

Any input is appreciated . BTW my last name is Long, which is why I came up with the name Longshot Racing.

Do a close up of you just burning your tire and smoke and stuff. any inside shots yet? maybe even wet the ground and just do donuts?

Thank you .

Might try a burnout photo or two, but tires do get expensive, especially on 20" rims.
