Driving My Mind Podcast
"For all things the driving mind ponders" will relate to the complexities of what, I believe, is the last hoo-rah for the automotive enthusiast. I hope to connect with those who are drivers, car enthusiasts, and those who turn wrenches and capture a piece of why they involve themselves in this burdensome hobby.
As we transition to electrification, I want to leave a running record of what it was like to see the last golden age of the internal combustion engine. I will have my eccentric thoughts of what the modern car community has to offer. At times I will seem unreasonable, ill-informed, or perhaps even uncouth when it comes to my topics of discussion, but I hope it sparks those independent thinkers in "the scene" to challenge me or themselves to the "what" and "why."
Thank you to those who have followed my Youtube Channel @yourrideandi and I hope to offer you another outlet of pessimistic, yet appreciative enthusiasm for the automotive gear-heads.
