About the driver

Erick Rivas B8.5 rs5
  • What or who got you into Cars?
    Growing up in Santa Ana all my uncles and their friends were into cars. At that time it was low riders. Growing up with the car scene and working on cars gave me love and passion I share through social media and friends. My first car truly brought the love full circle (JDM Acura Teggy) but the. In 2003 I bought my first Audi and the rest is history!
    
  • Why this Car?
     My car is and has been a dream to own since 2010 (S5) and switching careers in 2020 allowed me to purchase my Rs5 the following year. I will not get rid it but keep it for my collection. I mean a naturally aspirated v8 with a growl…
    
  • Why did you build this Car?
    It all start with color and animal. I love the color teal (Tiffany Teal) and love Pandas 🐼 
    I knew the color would be tough to add as a modification but love how it is flowing together. The settle touch of the Panda shows off my good vibes.
    
  • What does it feel like owning and driving this car?
     - It’s nothing like I have ever driven and feels like when I need a race car BAM! When I need to chill and vibe bam it’s there. 
    
  • What do you think makes it unique? 
     I believe not one car is the same in our community weather it’s the same color, model etc. there are little touches that make it different. Mine is would be unique because of the accent color, Teal.
