25 automotive people worth following on Twitter

Most people in the automotive world haven’t heard of Twitter. But those who have discovered it realize just how useful it can be. If you are one of the unfortunate souls that hasn’t, then I suggest carrying your happy little ass over to Twitter.com and get a free account. And when you do, go “follow” these 24 25 automotive based people who are worth following. Who knows, you might learn something from them. But if nothing else, you’ll be able to stay up to date with the industry faster than ever before. Oh…. and download a free desktop client. It makes tweeting much easier; trust me.  Ok, onward to the cool car-tweeting people……..
