Give The Gift Every Car Enthusiast Wants This Christmas: An Autopian Membership

Do you have a car lover in your life? Someone for whom the firing order of a 302 Windsor V8, the winner of the 1997 Rally Argentina, or the names of all the non-Porsche branded cars produced in Zuffenhausen are important. For them we have the greatest gift of all to offer: An Autopian Membership.

(BTW, in case you were curious: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, Tommi Mäkinen, and Mercedes-Benz 500E and Audi RS2)

You could get them some plastic crap from a chain auto store, or you can give them the gift of warm, gooey content. It’s the holiday season, after all! At least, that’s what I keep telling people so they stop asking me why my breath smells like peppermint schnapps.

Membership here at The Autopian is a key part of what we do, so a big thank you to all of our members. Here’s a quick walkthrough reminder of our membership levels (you can see the cool seat graphics and full descriptions here):

• Cloth (GIFT LINK HERE)
  • Access to Member’s Only Posts (like this one about the grammar errors the Autopian staff is currently struggling with and this one about the very popular movie our EIC didn’t get).
  • Private access in our Autopian Discord, which has over 600 readers nerdily talking about cars daily
  • Discounts on events
• Vinyl (GIFT LINK HERE)
  • Everything in Cloth, plus…
  • A new, limited edition Members Only bumper sticker (See below)
  • A limited edition Members Only shirt

If you’re already a member our biggest ask, as always, is: Do nothing. A ton of you renewed your subscriptions and it helps a lot. If you don’t have an auto-renew set, please consider renewing by clicking here and following the process. If you do, we’re going to send you even more stuff you love. And if aren’t a current member and want to support a site you often read: Please consider joining!

And, as an added bonus, signed-in members see fewer ads. Specifically, the little pop-up video on mobile will go away!

So, if you don’t mind, consider becoming an Autopian member or gift a membership to someone else! Or yourself!
