    Names Aaron Steinfeldt. I live in Winona, MN and drive a 2004 SRT4 that currently has a Stage 3 turbo fold with support mods. Plans have changed with the car from the beginning with me autocrossing.

    At first I just wanted a decently quick car that I could have fun with, which is what lead me to purchasing a Stage 3 setup. After acquiring it, I began purchasing the necessary mods to run it safely. While doing all of this, a couple of friends introduced me to auto crossing. After doing this for a while, I became interested in it more and more and have decided to demod my car to get out of SM (Street Modified) and go back to stock turbo so I can compete in DSP (Street Prepared). I'm doing so to be hopefully be competitive at a national level. I'm hoping after doing it nationally for a couple years I'll start placing at those events come seat time as well as legal mods.

    With that said, here are some photos of my car:

    After being in the scene for a while, I picked up on Photography (correlates with my major of a Graphic Designer). So after some reading on what would be a decent entry level camera I decided on picking up a Nikon D3000. I started taking pictures with the kit lens (18mm-55mm) with a friends SRT4 being a test subject. After taking some decent pictures, I submitted them on our national board for a 2012 calendar submission. One of my photos was chosen to be in it which motivated me more to pursue car photography. I then picked up a 50mm lens and have been progressively getting better (in my opinion).

    I'm only posting a few but will post a link to my accounts to my photos. These photos will be posted from oldest to most recent to show progression. Sorry if these photos are large and take a while to load.

    Side note: I can photoshop peoples cars if they want changes done and are curious as to what it would look like.

    With all of that said, the reason I joined the site was in hopes of spreading my name by getting more cars to photograph. Doesn't matter if the car is new, old, daily driver, garage queen, weekend warrior, or toy car. I'm just looking for some cars to shoot to expand my portfolio as further increase my experience on car photography. ;)

    Another car photographer, eh? I think that makes you our 100th caller! ;)

    Welcome to the site.. This is the place you want to be when you decide to preserve your srt-4 from the winters harsh abuse and get a winter bomber.

    Keep the good photos coming and we will allow you to hang around... For now :)

    Nice SRT...I bought an E-Blue in 04 brand new and beat the piss out of it for almost 4 years and that thing handled every amount of abuse I threw at it. I miss that car all the time. I like the AWD of my 13 WRX though :)
