The Right Combination
When it comes to selecting a model, you have to find a girl that fits the car. The car we used was a 2001 Camaro SS owned by Luis Montoya. Luis had always been a Ford guy since his entire family owned them. A cousin of Luis prompted him to test drive a ’94 LT1 Z28 and he instantly fell in love at age 18. As most young people do that own muscle cars, Luis ended up totaling the Camaro after four months in which he bought a ’96 Trans Am WS6 that was later turned into a Lemon Law car.
In March 2006 he then bought his current 2001 Camaro SS from a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, making it his third F-body. The Camaro was purchased completely stock with a decent interior. Over the next two years, Luis transformed his Camaro into a show-and-go daily driver with even more modifications to come in the future.

Probably one of the first words you said after you saw Briana was, “Whoah”, just like us. Though her appearance may label her as sassy, she is a down to earth girl – she doesn’t like to party or guys with big egos.

Briana was born and raised in Sacramento, California and now currently lives in Murrieta. She lived in St. Louis, Missouri during high school and jumped through a few different schools. Briana was spotted at a car show in Mississippi, and that’s how she got into modeling, little did she know it would blossom into something greater.
