This always happens to me- I setup a feature shoot, take the photos, edit those photos the following day which is also usually the same week I’d like the article to go live. Taking the photos is always fun, especially when the owner and everyone else involved in the shoot all click well together and we just talk about whatever might be going on that week…hangovers, car scenes, and back to hangovers. Then comes the editing, which can be a very time consuming process but lately its been therapeutic in a way- I’ll open up Lightroom and Photoshop, put on my headphones, and spend hours on end choosing the best shots, figuring out color tones, then getting to work. So why am I barely writing this at 4am, just 7 hours away from this feature going live?

I was going to come up with some modernized version of “Twas The Night Before Christmas” with some kind underlining car theme, maybe be a bit cheesy and drop in a few Christmas Carol lines here and there throughout the article, but I’m basically a Scrooge/Grinch combo- although I don’t ruin the holiday for others, so there will be no more mentioning of any Christmas related things from here on out, Bah Humbug!
Except the title of the feature because who doesn’t like the movie “Elf”?!

Maybe I have a thing for Jennifer Love Hewitt, I mean who really doesn’t? But that’s not why I went with “Can’t Hardly Wait” for this feature title we have for you here. Rolando wasted no time getting to work on this amazing VW Golf R you see here, that and you know how serious a build is going to be when the car is already bagged while it’s still rocking those paper plates from the dealership.
