It's a BS sector of the model business. Stay away from it. Get a real agent and have some good portfolio shots taken. I can suggest some people if you want for both.
The guys at DKN are all good guys, Donovan especially. But if you're serious about modelling, and actually making it, don't fall into the carshow circus.

If you want to become a car model, I hope you can one day be at Detroit Auto Show or Toyko or German ones, that to me, is car model. As much as I dislike car models, but I respect this profession nontheless.

I know very little about you, but I do know that beer companies etc are constantly looking for models by putting adds in college papers etc. If you want to get into this sort of thing, there is the place to look. After that, most major clubs will have model search competions. The maxim coors light model search was held at "LE Scratch" here in Oshawa a few times last year I beleave. It will likely happen again.
After that... why not just do it yourself? Seriously! There are a TON of hot honda's for you to choose from. Pick 12, ask the owners if they would be nice enough to allow you to drape yourself across the hood. Get somebody to take a bunch of pictures with each car. (I suggest using a decent digi-camera to save yourself film fees) Pick the best 12 pictures and have a calender made up. Have a few hundred of them printed up. I doubt it would cost you more than a couple dollars per calander if you look around. Sell them for $10 each. Go to the car show and rent a booth, put on a bikini and then charge $10 per calender or $15 with a signature. Why share the profits? Since most car show models are all amateur models by definition, they likely dont get paid much more than a $200 a day. But if that is what you really want to do, you can have 500 business cards made up for $15 at Office Depot. They aren't "super cool" but they work. When you are taking a break from signing calenders, walk around to the different vendors that you would like to work for and say hello and drop a card. Simple.
It costs hundreds to create a decent portfolio...sometimes thousands. This gets you money back for your investment instantly, and you can HONESTLY say you are already published which makes you worth more. Oh, and the BEST part of all this... if you are under 29, I beleave that the Canadian government will give you an interest free business loan to start your own business. I *THINK* the loan is around $5,000 but don't hold me to the numbers. You don't even have to go to major car shows. If you go to the smaller ones, or the regularly held ones, you will likely be the only model there. That pretty much guarentees that you will sell a few calenders. I'm guess you would sell a minimum of 30 a day at a small event. You do the math.
But that is what I would do if I was a hot chick. I have to admit, I am very curious to see what you look like. I do hope you post your pic.
