Auto Off Topic
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.

Andrew managed to bork the first 20 mins by not hitting record, so we did our best to recreate it. It's been one of those weeks. Brian Driggs of Gearbox Magazine and now Work Life Parallel. We talk about professional life and car life and how those two things are not mutually exclusive. Cars may be a serious hobby, but lots of professional and personal bonds have been developed over the years. Skills and work ethic have also been learned.
