The company’s story stretches back to 1976 when Larry Zinn’s father Warren opened his first car dealership. By the time the 21st Century rolls around, the company’s facilities were spread over 15 acres in Miami Gardens. There were just 28 service bays, the showroom wasn’t big enough, and the company’s customer base had shifted to a different part of town. In 2011, the idea of creating a new, mega dealership like the kind seen in New York City and Houston was introduced....

Michael Bradley was just as unhappy as his coach with how easy TFC was for opponents to play against, and he believed he could help address that problem. Feeling like his qualities were progressing in a direction to be able to thrive as a deeper-lying midfielder, Bradley made a position shift. “He wants to be one of the great sixes out there, and that’s where he feels he can make the most growth and have the most impact, and play at a really high, elite level,” Vanney told Goal USA....
