How it all got started Bee-stung lips, seductive eyes, and athletic yet sexy body shape are the attributes that Angelina Jolie and Audi S5 have in common. So, it was an easy decision for me to setup a date through the Audi Driver’s Day program (http://audi.com/driver) with an S5 for my spring driving vacation to Lake Como, Italy. Speaking with friends, Chris, Christiane, and Miriam, at Audi Forum, Ingolstadt, I learned that George Clooney has a villa on Lake Como. So, maybe, I would see Clooney, Pitt, Jolie, and Damon there. Maybe, they would be there planning for the Ocean 14. Over the years coming to Germany, I had met many Audi Club International members. Like in the previous visits, I connected with the Audi enthusiasts on this side of the pond to exchange stories about driving vacations over delicious Königliches Gemüse. This king of vegetable, albino asparagus takes approximately 36 months to cultivate. Barbara and Marcus from Nurnberg chapter met me in Ingolstadt. It had been two years since we saw each other. But like meeting my best friends from high school, regardless how much time had passed, we were able to reconnect instantly and had fabulous time as if no time had had passed. It was because our shared passion for the enjoyment of Audi driving over the most beautiful roads in the world. First Impression After dinner, I settled into the S5 cockpit. The beetle inspired red leather sport seat, the driver centric interior, the white and red glowing instrument panels, the piano black trims, and the silk-soft ceiling material created a very calming ambiance. The sport seat hugged me like a mother holding a newborn. The consistent touch and feel of the dashboard, the buttons, the steering wheel, the door panels, and the middle console demonstrated the non-compromising craftsmanship. This interior was so soothing and perfect-fit. I felt as comfortable being in this car as staying at the Starwood W hotel room! With the key was still in my pocket, I pressed down the clutch and the brake, and then pushed the Start/Stop button in the middle console. The deep sonorous burble of the 354 hp V8 FSI engine transcended this soothing interior into a jet fighter cockpit. The white and red glows of the instrument that created the contemporary hotel-room ambiance when the engine was off, now radiated the F22 Raptor jet fighter cockpit feel. I admitted I had never been in an F22 cockpit, but I had seen pictures of it and I could only imagine. I dimmed the glow to simulate the stealth mode. What I was missing was the night vision and target tracking equipped helmet and the anti-G suit. http://audi.com/driver) with an S5 for my spring driving vacation to Lake Como, Italy.
