DashTag: Behind the Story

On this episode of DashTag: Behind the Story, Josh Fields pulls up with his 2024 Audi RS3 and wastes no time getting into what makes it such a weapon. From performance mods to the unmistakable sound of Audi's legendary 5-cylinder engine, this one is built for people who understand that driving should feel like something. We also get into the kind of story every car enthusiast has at least one version of, the Cars & Coffee ticket. Equal parts painful and hilarious in hindsight. But like most great car stories, it doesn't start with the RS3. Josh traces it back to his roots, growing up around his dad and their Plymouth Satellite, where the foundation for his passion was built. That same energy carries through today, shaping not just what he drives, but why he drives it. If you're into cars with personality, stories with depth, and builds that actually mean something, this episode delivers.
