Executive Transport – 2009 Audi S5 (A5) in Downey, CA

Posted on July 15, 2020July 20, 2020 by Cool Io

S5’s (and A5’s) are the ideal daily driver for the executive who has style, but who also makes rational decisions. Driving a refined, safe, and respectable Audi will assure any Board of Directors that you’re just the type of person they want running their global conglomerate.

Posted on July 6, 2020July 20, 2020 by Cool Io

This car is already a classic. One of Feeeman Thomas’ many iconic designs, the original TT was unlike any sports car that had come before. It had the potential to become as iconic and desirable as the Porsche 911.
