YDKF Episode 174: Cars

68 Firebird 1

The podcast’s engine is roaring back to life with another new episode! On this episode I tell a few stories about the cars I destroyed in my youth. If I sound hoarse, it’s because I recorded half the episode and then Audacity locked up so I had to start all over. Even if you’re not a car person, I’ll bet you’ll enjoy some of these stories of misspent youth!
