A Word from Kristin Shaw

I’ve known I would be a writer since I was a kid, so marrying my love of words with my affection for cars is everything I ever dreamed about.

I convinced an exotic car rental company to let me drive a Ferrari F430 in exchange for some local coverage, and from there I started picking up reviews piece by piece. Ultimately, it led me to this awesome career.

My personal interests include baseball, cars, trucks, off-roading, hiking, music, and learning new things.
