How many of you have families?
There are a ton of nice cars on here. How many of you are married? Have kids? I just don't know how you all find the time for the modding, cleaning, etc. I am married and have a newborn and I have a hard enough time to get out and wash my car, let alone mod it.
I was just curious if you are all single or how you find the time if you have families. I need some pointers!
Thanks!

Family here, 1 kiddo. Its hard to do the chores, work, make time for kid and wife, as well as family and friends. How I fit time for the car is a mystery. Just takes time to get it all down, no instant remedy. I still learn every day.
As far as modding, that all comes down to what you make. If your banking, send it to a shop to get whatever done, if your not so much, teach your children to help you! hah

Depends on you how you want to manage your time. I usually do my modding/cleaning on Saturday in case I need to go to a shop they are usually open on Sat. Sun. would just be a back up day in case I don’t get to finish what I’m doing.
I try not to do any car stuff on Sun. as I want to spend that day with the fam.
Good luck man!

Glad to hear a lot of you are in the same position as me. Just had a baby, he is almost 4 weeks old and it's been a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I want to spend as much time as I can helping mom out and seeing him grow up, so it's really hard to balance out the chores, motorcycle, car, etc. I know it will get easier in the future, I guess I have too many hobbies as my car isn't the only one.
How do you guys fit car seats in these cars? I have one on the passenger side in the back and it causes the front seat to be push so far forward that my wife's knees are in the dash and her head is hitting the roof. We now take her BMW 325i because it gives her more leg room up front, which we both thought was a bit surprising. I believe the IS is a bigger overall car compared to the the 325, but the interior of the 325 must be bigger. I guess this way I get to save miles on my IS...

Wife and family always laugh at me doing mods... they are like, "good luck cruising for chicks with those car seats" haha
I have actually removed all the rear headrests to help the car seats fit better and provide more visibility for me, but this is basically how i roll.... infant seat snaps into the base on the passenger side.
