2019 Audi Q3

I used to believe that competitors to Audi led the German luxury car market. That all changed when my boyfriend brought his Audi RS5 to the dealership for a routine service, and they provided him with a Q3 loaner vehicle. The moment I drove off in the Q3, I knew that this would be my next car. Two months later, I purchased the exact same model and became part of the Audi family. My 2019 Audi Q3 has everything I wanted: a huge panoramic sunroof, heated seats, and, best of all, wireless Apple CarPlay. I absolutely love my car, and I even named him “Turbo” because of his stunning “Turbo Blue” color and 45 TFSI turbocharged engine.

2019 Audi SQ5 Ibis White and a 2018 Audi TTRS Glacier White Metallic

VW and Audi vehicles have always been a part of my family, thanks to my father’s passion for these brands. My first car was a 2003 GTI, followed by a 2004 VW R32. When Audi introduced the 2015 S3 sedan in the USA, I knew I had to have one. I found a Daytona Grey Launch Edition and drove it for years. When the RS3 was released, I wanted to get one, but I was concerned it would be too similar to my S3, despite the five-cylinder engine. So, I opted for a 2018 TTRS in Glacier White instead—and it was an amazing upgrade! I’ve loved it ever since. Later, our family needed a larger vehicle, so we added a 2019 SQ5 for road trips across the country. Both cars are perfect for our lifestyle.

2005 Audi S4 Avant

I’ve owned my 2005 Audi S4 Avant for almost 10 years now, and I’ve tracked the car all over the Pacific Northwest since 2016. The engine was built by AM Tuned, and it’s equipped with a VF Engineering supercharger running 11 psi, delivering 530whp on pump gas. The car also features a water/meth system to keep the blower cooler during track days. I’ve competed in Global Time Attack and OnGrid time attack events, and it’s been an incredible experience to push the car to its limits.

2016 Audi S8 Plus

My 2016 Audi S8 Plus is my third Audi, but by far the best. It’s currently the fastest S8 in the world and holds the title of the fastest 4.0 in the U.S. for quarter-mile times. The car is single-turbo swapped with numerous custom upgrades, but it still retains the stock engine and transmission. With around 1,000 AWHP, I drive my three kids to school in it regularly, which is a unique experience every day!

2018 Audi RS3

I’ve been an Audi enthusiast my entire life, thanks to my family always owning Audis growing up. My first Audi was a 2009 S5, and my current car is a 2018 RS3. The car is tuned by Unitronic and is a regular at local drag strips and road courses. Additionally, I helped create and grow the Nashville Audi Club, and my wife, Brenda, drives a 2016 Q3, which has also been featured.

2019 Audi A6 Premium Plus 3.0

I started my Audi journey with a 2016 A6 Prestige 3.0 and recently upgraded to a 2019 A6 Premium Plus 3.0. I got my first Audi, a 2007 A6 3.2, when I was 18, and I was immediately impressed with how smooth and elegant the car rode, despite being a 2007. Since then, I’ve been hooked on Audi’s performance, which I believe is among the best on the market. My 2016 A6 was upgraded with a Unitronic Stage 1+ tune, 034 suspension, IE air intake, and S5 B9 exhaust tips with no resonators. My 2019 A6 is still a work in progress, but I’m planning to add an APR Stage 1 tune, a downpipe, exhaust, and other supporting mods soon.
