Sure is a race track. Its at the Bondurant school which was down the street from a meet up for a recent group drive. My car was #trackinspired when I selected my parts, then #occasionallytracked, and now its just #notoccasionallytracked.

I've loved your photos and car from the very beginning, love the tasteful mods and especially the wheels. I've just recently acquired a DSLR (Canon Rebel T5i) and would love to hear any tips you have for a beginner, especially when it comes to taking pictures of vehicles. I love photography but mostly have only had either my iPhone or point-shoot style cameras, so the world of lenses, apertures, exposures, and ISO levels is a little bit overwhelming. LOL

So money. Every time I see pictures of your car, I wish I had kept my S closer to stock/OEM.

I would be happy to help you get started with your DSLR. I would say first step is put the camera in manual mode and start taking lots and lots of pictures and adjust the shutter, aperture, and ISO. Take note of the difference in the image and start learning how these adjustments change your image. As you are doing this, its good to have a book or online resource (photography for dummies if you will) and learn the basics. Learn how to use the camera because it is a tool. Once you understand how the camera works and how to make it do what you want, then its time to learn about composition and how to "see".
Please feel free to send me a PM with specific questions and I can go more in depth there.

Congrats on the new job! Maintenance only plans aren't a bad way to go either. Aside from my clear bra I have been in a maintenance only mode for the past year. Just driving, photographing, and enjoying the car.
I have the Jeep Grand Cherokee that is now the wife's car. So that is my "tank"
That is my plan, keep the CR as is, unless I find myself tracking again frequently in the next couple of years and modify the Audi just a little bit (intake, tune, rear swaybar).

Very nice pictures! I wish I had the time to take some nice shots of my car but I'll settle for looking at yours.
If your girl is 11 months old all I'll say is it only gets better. My daughter is just over 2 yrs old and she's a joy but also a ton of work. Maybe you're blessed with an easy first child and good eater (it makes all the difference in the world). We also have an 8 month old boy who's an easy and great kid, but I'll say 2 is exponentially more work so be careful.
