Car Fans Rejoice! Great List of Twitter Enthusiasts to Follow:


If you’re composing a tweet while finishing your morning oatmeal, you have an appreciation for getting an early start.  If you’re choosing a hashtag (community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets) to contribute to while crossing a busy street, you’re adventurous.  If you’re texting while in the mall and happen to fall into a strategically placed water fountain, you need help.  If your Twitter addiction needs to be tamed, we can’t help you, but if you have a love for the modern automotive industry, you’re in luck.  We’ve got a comprehensive list, from Joel Feder of Social Car News and the best car-related twitter feeds to follow.
