haha, yeah...so far I have conned 4 different people with 4 different cameras into the task. Unfortunately, we never seem to get the right lighting when they have free time. My friend with the 1D MKII was definitely the most experienced photographer (he took the first shot, as well as the warehouse shot)...but we were still fighting lighting conditions and a lack of interesting backgrounds.
If only I lived closer to Phuong or Chris...those guys know how to shoot them some cars :)
