Hey y’all! The folks at Avants are hosting a wagon-themed event at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles next Sunday, May 3rd, and they really want some strange stuff there. Knowing how strange we are, they asked if we could help provide some strangeness for Wagonfest this year. Even better, we have some free passes for people who have a wagon to bring.
If you’re in the SoCal area, or can get to the SoCal area, and have a wagon, shoot me an email at matt@theautopian.com and I can share the secret code to get you in for free. If you want to buy a wagon (check out this sweet Pug) and can prove to me that you bought it for this event, I’ll either spot you a free year of membership at your current level or give you a free membership.
And if you don’t have a wagon and just want to go see the event, here are the details:
Wagon lovers unite! We’re back for another awesome WagonFest SoCal on Sunday, May 3rd at Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
The largest gathering of station wagons in the universe! Tourings, Estates, Avants, Longroofs, Sport Turismos and more. Don’t miss your chance to see all of these epic grocery-getters gathered in one spot. Is this wagon heaven? Yes…yes it is!
It’s free to come check it out if you want to go and David will bring some merch.

Also, buy this sweet RWD manual wagon.









Not mine, but I just spotted this about ten minutes ago. Honda cvcc wagon.

Roadtripping my FF see you soon
I have a stock Prius V, does that count? It’s kind of weird these days
I had one of those, in fact the very last ’92 Peugeot SW8 imported into the US, and the ONLY manual transmission one. Mine was rather nicer though – here parked at the French Embassy in DC for a Peugeot Club gathering circa the turn of the century:

I’d take my also very rare 6spd RWD e91 BMW, but LA is a LONG drive from Maine.
