Become An Autopian Member Today And You Could Receive Random Car Swag Like This

Member Swag Ts
ADVERTISEMENT

As car journalists, we are offered lots of gifts from automakers and brands, and for years, I’ve been accepting those gifts for one reason: So I can give them to you, dear Autopian members. Here’s a look at what we’ve sent out to random members as a “thank you” for supporting this humble car website.

Beau, as a prominent dealer for various car brands including Ford, VW, Land Rover, Lotus, Honda, Porsche and a bunch of others tends to be on the receiving end of gifts from brands, probably more so than I do. So he’s volunteered to reach into his chest of swag to give Autopian members some cool car stuff.

I’m not entirely sure what’s in this Ford Bronco Off-Rodeo bag that Beau donated, but I see a nylon strap and what feels like a tarp material inside.

We’re giving away some towels and air fresheners from the Bottas-Uber partnership (if you’re allergic to cats … maybe wash that):

459555836 952650863573988 5928248066736962908 N

We’re also giving out some Bottas air fresheners, speedos (yes, speedos), and plenty of Autopian shirts:

We’re sending out this Porsche “Edith” hat commemorating Porsche’s recent altitude record in the 911:

460454501 883594477044412 4801171947523081021 N

All of this has been carefully inspected by one of our Jeep-cats, specifically Nutmeg. There’s a lot more not shown, like BB Porsche shirts and caps, and loads of the really good press swag that is somewhere at the bottom of a box. I’ll find it, and when I do, I’ll be shipping all sorts of cool car stuff, including posters (!) to members.

Here’s the official Ram DT launch swag, a beautiful, painted paperweight. I’ll be giving this to a random Autopian member who’s LA-local since this thing weighs too much for my cheap arse to ship:

I’ll also be shipping a few of these huge Lamborghini sun hats to readers:

Also, Nutmeg will be very disappointed if you give away that towel. It’s her towel, dammit!

Lamborghini sun hat FTW. Would love to wear that to the Revs Institute cars and coffee in November when I pull up in my Miata. Nothing like keeping people guessing.

The one thing that would truly entice me into becoming a member is a setting that would enable me to turn off auto-play videos. I don’t mind seeing adds. I just really hate the distraction of videos automatically running while I’m trying to read (even when it’s the cool Autopian videos).

One of my ad blockers blocks them. Which is good, when I hit the site without it I was not happy. (Signed, paying member)

On iPhone I use privacy pro, which users the vpn function but isn’t a true vpn. I also have used StoptheMadness which seems pretty good but I haven’t used it much.

On desktop I use Ghostery.

It’d be cool if members got some kind of small badge in the comment section, too.

I think it’s pretty cool that they are packaged up with a blurb thanking people for being at the event. It’s a nice touch.

And, yeah, there’s something fun about merch from a brand that a lot of people don’t even know existed.

And wow, that cat. That’s a good cat. 10/10 would pet.

Somehow Australia let me import a vial of David’s Jeep rust. Does that count as additional mileage for the sacrificial Jeep?

Pretty sure the Bronco bag is a portable hammock they sent out to anyone who had a pre-order in as an apology for production delays. As much as I had no intention of buying a whole Bronco, I might’ve sprung for that if they’d offered it with their normal merch, but seems to be swag-only.

Ooh, that toy VW would be awesome, and I’m curious what the tarp thing is.
There is absolutely some cool swag here and I would probably be happy to get anything. Even a speedo. Especially a speedo?

So this is like Sirius radio where you need to quit and then re-join to get the deal?

You should send random stuff to random existing members once in a while to say thanks.

I think they do, I believe the Random Number-Mo-Tron in Torch’s basement picks out some member numbers for that kind of thing. I’m still not 100% sure if I have all the swag I’m due for (Vinyl) but, eh.

I just got a second shipment notification so I’m assuming I’m getting some random swag. Excited but also a little worried to find out what I got.

Are you gonna wash that stuff first? You could only be allergic to Loch Ness Monsters and still break out in hives from all the cat dander.

That Chevy hat looks like you found it underneath a dumpster, adjacent to a bridge, floating in the L.A. River.

Don’t ever change, DT.

Don’t mind the used sweatshirt but Suburu? Actually a very good incentive for membership. I joined despite just dropping almost $4,000 on a rebuilt motor. But hey the $600 core refund might cover installation. Right? Maybe? Possibly? Please tell me it might.
