Default Camera Lens

What is the best lens or setting to take good pictures of cars? I just got my new Canon T3i and I'm still trying to get used to it.

There is no magic lens that's going to make your car photos better.

May I suggest you join us here:

Doesn't matter if you don't have a blog or a trendy water mark. Get those first, then point and click..Anyone can press a button, use photoshop, but the key element is BLOG, WATERMARK.

Also act like a complete fucking douche/spoiled brat/pussy when someone critiques your over processed photos.

Then my friend you're a professional.
