Playboy Photographer Wants Your Car, He'll Bring The Girls

Playboy photographer Scott Hooper (of “Sex and the Automobile” fame) is planning a major oeuvre, a big coffee table book of sexy cars and sexy ladies, planned to be “the culmination of Hooper’s lifelong love of gorgeous women and exquisite cars.” Being in Las Vegas and being known in the business, Hooper has no shortage of gorgeous women. He has a shortage of sexy cars. And this is where you come in.

Hooper approached TTAC to help him locate America’s most sexy cars, to be paired with America’s most sexy ladies. Whether you have a 1937 Talbot Lago in your garage, or a super sexy electrifying Leaf, Hooper would love to drape his ladies over it. The car would be brought to Hooper’s secure studio in Las Vegas and would spend a few days there, before it will be immortalized in a book that sometimes is called “AutoErotica”, sometimes “The book of curves.” If you want your car to star in that book, check out this website. Producer Theresa Holmes’ email and phone number is at the bottom of the page.

Oh, and let us know how it worked out.

    Hmm, not sure what caliber of woman would go on the hood of the Land Cruiser. The Miata seems a natural fit to have Bridget the Midget draped over though.

    I'd pay good money for a book of women draped over some of the fine automobiles photographed in Murilee Martin's work though..."Here's Kim Kardashian draped over...what is that...ah yes, a well picked over Chrysler Cordoba".

  • SCE to AUX With these items under the pros:[list][*]It's quick, though it seems to take the powertrain a second to get sorted when you go from cruising to tromping on it.[/*][*]The powertrain transitions are mostly smooth, though occasionally harsh.[/*][/list]I'd much rather go electric or pure ICE I hate herky-jerky hybrid drivetrains.The list of cons is pretty damning for a new vehicle. Who is buying these things?
  • Jrhurren Nissan is in a sad state of affairs. Even the Z mentioned, nice though it is, will get passed over 3 times by better vehicles in the category. And that’s pretty much the story of Nissan right now. Zero of their vehicles are competitive in the segment. The only people I know who drive them are company cars that were “take it or leave it”.
  • Jrhurren I rented a RAV for a 12 day vacation with lots of driving. I walked away from the experience pretty unimpressed. Count me in with Team Honda. Never had a bad one yet
  • ToolGuy I don't deserve a vehicle like this.
  • SCE to AUX I see a new Murano to replace the low-volume Murano, and a new trim level for the Rogue. Yawn.
