It’s Labor Day, which means the staff has the day off. I hope that you also have the day off and can enjoy a BBQ with your family, a little baseball, and catching up on your favorite automotive website. In order to make your leisure better, and to give you a chance to catch up on Tales From The Slack, we’re doing a special member discount. You can sample Autopian membership for just $5 for three months. That’s like 800 blogs, or less than $0.01 per blog!
Do you think our blogs are worth that much? I hope so. Not all of my blogs, but every other blog is worth it. Here’s how you get the deal, just follow this link or type in code LABORDAZE at checkout and you’ll get $5.34 off of Cloth Monthly for three months. If I did the math right, you’ll only have to pay $1.66 every month for three months, resulting in about $5 for three months. After that, you’ll get charged the full $7 per month (btw, I totally got this idea from our friends at Defector). Some taxes may apply depending on where you live.


Are you not interested in being a monthly member and have wanted a reason to become an annual member? Follow this link for 9.1% off of Cloth Annual or this link for 9.1% off of Viny Annual. The code LABORDAZEANNUAL works for all annual plans, including RCL.
All plans are now eligible for our newest perk, which is the member badge:
When you comment, you’ll get a fun little badge underneath letting everyone know you support independent journalism.
You might have also noticed that this screenshot was in dark mode, or what we call “NIGHT PANEL.” If you’re a member, then you know the code for how to trigger this. If you become a member, you can click here to find out how to start NIGHT PANEL. Also, we’ll eventually put a button so everyone can use it, but we don’t have it working yet, so here’s a fun little perk.
In addition to the warm, neon underglow you’ll feel in your heart for supporting a place that doesn’t shove ads or galleries/listicles down your throat constantly, you’ll also get the following with every level of membership:
- A special member-only newsletter with info/details/previews of events.
- Special access in The Autopian discord.
- No banner ads.
- No autoplay video/video pop-up.
- Member badge
Become a member at a higher level, and you’ll get more stuff.
Obviously, not everyone can afford membership, and we totally understand that. Our goal is to keep most of the website free for everyone, supported by as little advertising as we can get away with and membership. The membership is key, though, to allowing us to stay independent and continue to grow this place and produce more journalism you love.
If you’re already a member, thank you so much for your support! If you’re thinking about a member, you can try it now for very little money.
Now go enjoy a hot dog, you earned it!

Nice! A day to catch up on blogs. I’ll try not to get mustard on the screen.
