Description
Auto Off Topic is a weekly podcast where we talk cars, adventures with cars or anything that might be related to cars. We’ll even have the occasional guest.We’ll share the highs and lows of old car/project car ownership. We’ll tell cautionary tales about rusty bolts, blown head gaskets, snapped timing belts, spun bearings, janky wiring and how we fixed them. When not wrenching, we enjoy back road driving and our local Cars and Coffee. The hosts Brad DeSantis and Andrew Pascarella are two car enthusiasts who have been best friends for over 30 years. Auto Off Topic is based in Peabody Ma and Phoenix Az. Our closing song is part of ”Z/28” is graciously provided by the band Z/28.

Brad and Andrew spend the past weekend enjoying Japanese themed car shows on opposite sides of the country but the common them was that we enjoyed them with some great friends and their cool little cars.
We also get into some project car updates/downdates and we ramble on a bit about lost car magazines.

We're back after a little break because of a break in Brad's internet wires. Andrew also went on vacation. But we made good use of that time attending some cool events and working on Project cars. The Ram50 had some issues, and the Volvo gets a lot closer to running.

Well we are back after a bit of a break. This is a second crack at Andrew reporting on his Japan trip. Good news, this was probably better than the original anyway. If it sounds different, it's because we went old school AOT and recorded it directly into the old trusty H4N. After Andrew's Japan recap we touch on a few project car updates. Thanks for hanging in there folks.

Wooo, That's some gas fumes. Andrew accidentally stinks up his house with gas for this episode. We got some project car updates on the Volvo and Brad's Corolla. NASCAR makes it's return for the season to Bowman-Gray stadium for a super fun race and we discuss how Monster Energy livery cars bring big Kyle energy.
We are really pumped that motorsport season is back. We recap last weekend's Rolex 24 and Rally Monte Carlo. We discuss the upcoming NASCAR clash and the sort of odd broadcast choices for NASCAR this season. This is all after some quick project car updates and rant about expensive things in car culture. We are not fans of enthusiasts being priced out of the hobby.
