WHAT'S NEW @ MOTORAUSTIN

From MOTOR Austin to You, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hopefully MOTOR Austin has been useful and somewhat entertaining for you. But if not feel free to let me know what can be improved. As for me, this past year I have met some cool and very talented people in the Austin hot rod scene. I have also attended some great events that I have never been to and actually got a few decent pictures. All in all, it's been a good year!

Special thanks to our supporters:

A very special thanks to Kristin Gunn for allowing MOTOR Austin to use a photo from one of her recent shoots. Kristin is a mom, a model, an artist, a computer geek, a multiple business owner, a Mac lover and a gun enthusiast. Her core business is Black Cat Tattoo Aftercare products that are developed right here in Austin and sold worldwide. But that's not all, Kristin has recently started a baking business called Sugarstar that specializes in 'uncommon creations', and indeed they are uncommonly cool! "We bake in our South Austin bakery and crank out some of the coolest cakes and cupcakes around. We design each cupcake to match your personality and theme of your event. We do cupcakes for large corporate events and festivals such as the Trail of Lights, Lonestar Round Up, ROT Rally, The Grind, Batfest etc." Love thy cupcake!

So please visit Kristin's businesses and you gotta see the Cupcake gallery!
