The story

I met an amazing man who happens to be a Auto Body Tech. And specifically works mostly on Audis. I always loved German cars, but never thought of owning one because I come from a small town that pretty much only knows how to fix Chevy and Ford trucks and if you got anything else they're gonna charge ya an arm and a leg lol. So my husband decided to get an A3 (@jus.a.a3) and I was driving an Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (puke.). I desperately wanted to trade it in for something else. Either a Q3 or a Tiguan. I drove around to all the dealerships looking for one with decent miles and in the price range I needed. But then while at one of the dealerships, I walk past this beautiful 2017 GLI. My husband tried convincing me not to get it because we "needed" an SUV. But I had to test drive it! And after that there was no going back. So yeah, that's the story of how I ended up with this car 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
