Buy cool stuff, sell cool stuff, tell other car guys about your cool business. In the very near future, Winding Road’s all-new Showroom will allow you to do those things, and a whole lot more.
Being an automotive journalist is a pretty cool job. We drive sweet cars, do a lot of traveling, and generally get to be car guys for 40 hours a week. That being said, if you asked any of the staffers at Winding Road if there’s another job they’d rather have, odds are racecar driver would be pretty high up on the list. That’s right, we’re all big race fans, and 2011 has been a great year for new race cars. Why list our favorites? Because racecar.
Since well before Carroll Shelby was plowing a huge, 427-cubic-inch Ford V-8 into an unsuspecting AC Ace, car guys have been dreaming about putting big motors into little cars. Of course, as satisfying as a good old-fashioned engine swap can be, we always appreciate it when the OEMs take care of business on their own, too, keeping warranties intact and reliability high.
