We loved getting to know our newest model for Shocker Racing, Arinn Gustin. A four year nursing student from Ohio, Arinn filled us in on her exciting car adventures. She admits to having a "terrible" habit of buying and trading in cars. "I’ve owned 5 mustangs in 4 years... I know, I have a very expensive problem." Arinn explained, "When I was 16 I owned a 2002 V6, then bought a 2010 V6, then a 2014 V6 convertible, then bought myfourth Stang which was my favorite." Arinn picked up a brand new 2017 Mustang GT, Race Red with the blackout package. She picked it up in June of 2017, and in December Arinn continued the trend by trading it in for a brand new 2017 Mustang GT convertible, all blacked out, with the performance package!

Arinn completed this ShockerRacing Girls shoot with her favorite Stang shortly before she decision to trade it in on the Convertible. "Unfortunately, soon after purchasing the vert, I totaled it due to bad road conditions. After totaling it, I obviously had to get a new car. I graduate nursing school in May 2018, and Mustangs don’t go in the snow to get to work. So I gave up the Mustangs." Arinn informed us. She now drives a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. It's always hard to give up on sports cars but sometimes we have to make practical choices, and the Jeep is a nice happy medium!

Arinn found our popular instagram page(@ShockerRacing) and wanted in on the amazing opportunities Shocker Racing has to offer. Arinn had been in the car scene for years with all her trade ups. So why not add modeling to the list. She shot her first shoot for our page locally on a roof top parking garage. This was the perfect back drop for her Red 2017 GT Mustang. Arinn showed off her ShockerRacing T-Shirt with her Jean Shorts. Arinn told us she has done a little modeling for photographer friends in the past, however, this shoot by far was the most fun. She really enjoyed posing with her car, and we hope to see many more shoots from Arinn this year with her Jeep!
