  • Epic Podcast!

    I recently found this podcast (Auto Off Topic) through one of their guests funny enough and I couldn’t be more happy. These gentlemen are an absolute riot. The interaction, stories, guests, topics, their social media and everything is impressive. Thank you for making a podcast that is very enjoyable to listen to regardless of what I am doing that day.

    This has to be one of the best if not the best car podcasts out there. Funny, informative and I’m sad every time an episode ends. Feels like I’m hanging out with my buddies and that keeps me coming back for more. I don’t even remember how I stumbled across this podcast but I sure am glad I did! Thanks for the good times!!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Superlative Adventures
Q: What kind of research did you do for charging before the rally?
I started to put together a spreadsheet and tried to determine which charging companies would be needed while there.
Superlative Adventures
Q: Was there a special allowance because you did the rally in an electric vehicle?
In 2022, the rally started allowing zero-net carbon or EVs, which was a special exception.
Superlative Adventures
Q: What was the most grueling day for you on the rally?
There were moments where it almost didn't feel like it was doable, felt stuck behind a tractor going about 30 kilometers an hour on some fjord road in Norway, with still 500 kilometers to go that day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Off Topic

What is Auto Off Topic about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Auto Off Topic is a weekly automotive show hosted by two longtime friends who obsess over cars, project builds, and car culture. Episodes center on personal car projects, show coverage, local car events, and varied debates—from Mitsubishi lore to NASCAR chatter—often spiced with banter and humor.
