Ginger, Spice, and Everything Bad Ass

It is no secret this Internationally Published Model is a bad ass. Mrs. Ginger Leigh Wicked is a Nashville based Alternative Model. She recently met up with Subaru WRX STI Owner Chris Hayes and photographer, Chris Auditore for her first Shocker Racing feature. The location for the shoot was at the Tullahoma Regional Airport. This location was a perfect fit to her background as she grew up a military brat. This airport was one of the largest U.S. airfields during WWII.

This Tennessee beauty is not shy to the automotive scene. Ginger has been published two nationally known custom car publications. She has worked with everything from custom cars, to motorcycles, and street rods. She has modeled for car parts and she currently owns a Sahara Jeep. When we asked her, "If ShockerRacing was going to pay for any mod to your Jeep, no matter what the cost, what mod would you choose," she replied "lifts, wheels, system, anything that turns heads and screams." Ginger's first car was a 1971 Chevelle SS, an extremely iconic piece of American Muscle. She tells ShockerRacing her dream car is a 2014 Icon Thriftmaster. This bad ass chick know a thing or two, "I always had cool cars growing up, still have them now, and enjoy driving them against their lazy routines... until I have to work on them myself," says Ginger. And sorry to be the bearer of bad news gentlemen, but this woman is taken!

You can find Ginger at any number of local custom car events she attends annually, as well as, the Detroit Auto Show. "SEMA would be an amazing event to attend, if I was ever given the opportunity," added Ginger. If she was given the chance to go anywhere in the world with her dream car, she would choose anywhere she can find an adventure. Ginger says, "Give me a sunny day, fun roads or off roads, good company, and maybe a picnic with ribs to eat, and I am golden!" Apparently she loves her slow cooked ribs!!!
