Finally got the car done and looking for some places for a photo op.

Can be industrial , scenic someones backyard . Just good background w/o distracting from the car too much. No people around is a must, at least in shots.

Sunrise mountain is an awesome place but unless you get the corner spot in the parking lot you wont see any of the view, Buttermilk falls would be cool but its a dirt road so the car may have to be towed down it to get the shot. Hawks nest would be cool but idk if you feel like going into new york for that. Graveyard shots have always been a personal favorite but idk how you feel about them.

Exit marked "Scenic Overlook" on I-80 West near exit 12. Can't be beaten.

Buttermilk is a good call, but yeah, the only way I know to get back there involves a gravel road. Sunrise Mountain: Maybe not the actual lookout, but if you come in from 206 and follow the seven mile one-way road, there's a portion of the road where the trees open up that would give the scenic lookout in the background without picnic tables in the way of the view. If you do come up to Sussex County, might be a good idea to wait until next month when the leaves change, depending on the color of the car and/or your tastes.

Sterling hill mine would be a sick shoot.

the mine would be cool.

Will but on the list to stop.

So far its,
Sunrise
Sterling mine
Friends property in Long Valley
Cemetery in Hacketsttown

Some nice small towns, but will be hard to stage w/o disturbing traffic

perhaps others as I find while enroute
