Hello Everyone,

My name is Dan Akinduro, but everyone calls me AK. I am a certified mechanic been building cars for over 10 years, been racing for 5 years.

I was in the Navy for 5 years til I got shot in Iraq and snapped my ankle during Physical Training, which I got medical discharged for.

I was a SWCC operator for the SEALs, couple tours with the Marines, my rate was an Religious Program Specialist 2nd Class.

I am currently a Civil Engineer for Illinois Department of Transportation, but I do Information Technology work as well for the state.

I just moved to Ottawa, IL (bout an hour southwest of Chicago) area in June from Jacksonville, FL. I have a car club called TRK Nation, with chapters all around the country.

I just bought a 2009 Jaguar XF Premium Luxury about a month and a half ago, already put a K&N Air Filter, smoked the taillights, tinted the windows, and HID bulbs.

I have plans to buy new wheels but waiting til winter season is over since I don't know how bad it gets here yet.

I also own a 2013 XJ 3.0SC AWD, but I gave that to my older brother as a gift for his 40th birthday.

Anyhow I will post pictures of my car soon. If you want to know more feel free to ask.
