Car Tweets That Inform & Entertain
Twitter yields a monstrous and relentless flow of information. For car enthusiasts, it can be a bit daunting to find Twitter car experts that offer good information or, at least, a little entertainment. If you’re curious, search Twitter and you’ll see the number of car tweets out there.
The Best Of The Best Five Car Experts On Twitter
At Big Bucks Auto, we’ve sorted through the mess for you and have come up with a list of Tweeters (Twitterers? Twits?) we think are worth following. They range from car junkies to car-free enthusiasts, but we consider each and all Twitter car experts.
Car Tricks – http://twitter.com/CarTricks: Chuck Gray doesn’t say much about himself in his Twitter profile. His name is Chuck. He lives in the USA. And he’s a car enthusiast. Works for us! Car Tricks on Twitter is a great resource for car news including general industry news; news specific to certain makes and models; technology developments; and a peppering of other topics. Most posts come with links to the source material, which is always good.
BikeBikeYYC – http://twitter.com/bikebikeYYC: BikeBikeYYC is the Twitter profile for a cycling shop in Calgary called BikeBike. According to their website, they “feature bicycles, services, and products that are specific to everyday cycling – car-free living, bike commuting, pathway exploring, running errands and city cycling of all kinds.” Despite being a Canadian cycle shop, BikeBike’s Twitter stream is a great place for information on car-free living. They also integrate some fun in there, too.
Car_Expert – http://twitter.com/car_expert: Car_Expert is the Twitter arm of 350.org – “an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis – the solutions that science and justice demand.” Needless to say, many of the Tweets on their stream have to do with fuel-efficient, electric, or otherwise alternatively fueled vehicles. Similar to Car Tricks, Car_Expert generally includes links with each tweet with source info.
FloorMatGuys – http://twitter.com/FloorMatGuys: Who knew that a custom automotive floor mat site would be a good source of car information? As the Twitter profile for FloorMatGuys.com, these guys have a pretty good blend of entertaining car information; industry news; and other tidbits of info. The best part about FloorMatGuys? They don’t flood you with marketing for their own products or site. In fact, we didn’t see very much actual marketing here at all.
BigBucksAuto – http://twitter.com/BigBucksAuto: Well, duh. Not only can you find the rest of this list from our profile, but we contribute to the car enthusiast and car conscious community, too. Check us out!
