On this episode of The Knocking Rod podcast, I chat with my best friend Dave Russ - though he is known worldwide as Druss. We’ve had A LOT of car adventures together and that’s something that Dave rightly points out as something that really sticks with you.
Particularly the first car adventures when you and your friends are enjoying the first real taste of independence. For Dave, there was a pair of Honda Accords early on with sweet Sony XPLOD speakers and a 2-door Jeep Cherokee that ended up in my hands because of a broken elbow.
He also had a pair of Infiniti QX4s - affectionately known as the Q by 4. He and I cruised halfway across the country in a sweet Audi A3 TDI and today, Dave is rocking that minivan life - because kids. Stories about racing up to Cape Cod, breaking down in my Mitsubishi Starion, and running a Suburban all the way across the country abound. Good times in great cars!
