I purchased my car March 11, 2017 from Audi Plano in Plano, TX. That day, I became an Audi fan for life. I was drawn to Audi because of their styling; the sleek lines and pronounced front grills were all it took. While I didn't know much about Audi to begin with, I really liked the way they looked.  Little did I know the levels of performance these cars actually achieve.  A quick test drive in Sport mode and I shook the salesmen's hand and said, "Take my money!" When I got the car, it w...

I always asked myself, why do I love German cars so much? What is so attractive about their culture and vehicles? To understand the reason behind it, let's go back to my early years. Before I was born my parents met in Munich, Germany. My father was in the military while my mother was studying for her bachelor’s degree. Then somehow  I was born on a beautiful island known as Puerto Rico. In my early years,  I grew up learning about German food, the Berlin wall (where my father owned a small ...

Born with a Hot Wheels car in my hand, my first real car came at age four, a shiny red AMF ’65 Mustang pedal car.  At age five, I was lulled to sleep by the sound of racing engines from the movie Le Mans playing at the drive-in theater late at night. Growing up, my brothers and I spent all our time making homemade go carts out of crates and wheel barrow tires, helping my dad work on the car, and watching the races on TV.  It was a great time to be a kid.  From James Hunt and Niki Lauda batt...

Well I'll start right here... My first Audi was a 2004 Audi A4 1.8T. I fell in love with that car. It drove and handled like a dream. Only problem was it was the CVT transmission that seemed to only give Audi problems. The car always had issues and was never happy. Well I ended up wrecking it into a ditch and it was totaled by the insurance company. In a way it was a blessing. The transmission was getting worse and I didn't care for a front wheel drive car. I wanted the real Audi Quattro expe...
