Maricela Acosta is one of the newest members of the Clarksville Gearheads Car Club. The amount of female members in the club continually grows making the Gearheads one of the most diverse car clubs around. I asked her what she likes about the local car scene. She said, “I love the diversity of all the different cars and the fact that there is not just one type of car. I also love how everyone gets along and there is no drama.”
Maricela’s car, AOV (angle of violation) as she calls her, is a gorgeous 2019 Honda Civic SI. The name AOV was given to Maricela back in her racing days by her best friend. They had their own racing team HTX, many years ago out of Oceanside, California. She bought the car last year brand new. It is stock right now with 5% tint and it came with a turbo which is awesome. Future plans for the car include a tune, exhaust, lowering the springs, a carbon fiber hood and having it wrapped.
I asked Maricela if this is her dream car. She said, “My ultimate dream car is a Skyline right hand drive.” Where are her favorite places to drive? She said, “I love to drive her on the highway and back roads in the country in Kentucky or near LBL (Land between the Lakes).”
Maricela moved to the Clarksville area in 2002 as a military spouse. She makes some awesome Mexican food, which we will hopefully be able to try as soon as she gets her business up and running. Maricela is beautiful inside and out. She has an infectious smile that makes everyone feel welcome whenever they are around her. You will see her at many of the Gearhead events, so make sure you stop and say hello!
If you would like to follow Maricela and AOV on Instagram, their name is AOV_caligirl951. Thank you Maricela for participating in our Full Throttle Thursday blog!
