Society & Culture
In this episode I sit down with longtime friend and de-facto ECOA crew chief/mechanic Jim for a trip down memory lane. We talk about the fleet of vehicles we've owned, our evolution has shade tree mechanics, and some of our (mis)adventures along the way. Echoes of Adventure: Season 2, Episode 2 - What have Jim and I learned over 20+ years of vehicle ownership and friendship? Listen and we discuss the vehicles we've owned, what we learned, and how it influences us now. Make sure to check the show notes on the blog for a full list of vehicles we've owned.
