It’s Wednesday and time for another segment of Cool Car News and Awesome Sites, where I link to some of the coolest car sites, news and blogs on the web! As always, there’s something for everyone, so I hope Cars for Girls readers find something interesting – and fun – in today’s round-up web rodeo.
