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!

Oooooh Matt as a fellow person chained to screens, I would love the night mode button to come into play ASAP for mobile viewing!
Could we get a Paypal payment option? I’d like not to give my card info to a bunch of parties and it has held me back from joining twice at this point
+ 1 on this. I like to use PayPal for subscriptions
Thank you for adding the night panel mode. The color pallet ya’ll choose for it is quite cool.
I am an American now, I bought a half price mattress today!!!!!
Wow, at $5 for three months, you can hardly afford not to be a member! What’s a cup of coffee cost at that Seattle place, $7? Seriously though, this place is worth the price.
Holidays? What are those? When the assembly plant is down that is when we install equipment.
Ok, so I’m a dummy and I turned off the link colors by accident. I have asked our tech team to fix it. Don’t work on Labor Day like I did.
Does anyone know what the function of the recently added “Add To Glovebox” feature is?
If there is a lot of content you haven’t read, and you don’t have time to read it all right then, you can pick the articles you want to read later and store them in the Glovebox. You’re sort of creating your own curated list and time-shifting it.
Thank you! 🙂
I read or at least start to read every article. That’s how you get more bang for your dollar.
You didn’t even mention the glovebox!
Please tell me, what is the Glovebox feature? (Yes,I am serious)
It’s so you can store all of my articles for easy retrieval.
Wait, that would be a “Gothbox” 😉
We prefer the term coffin.
A Tisket, A Tasket
Adrian sleeps in a Casket! 😉
Apropos of nothing, I saw a guy earlier today with a sweatshirt that said “Waffle House Breakfast Violence” that looked so much like you I legitimately almost said “Adrian??” to a complete stranger in a World Market.
I am a Waffle House enjoyer but never wear branded merch, apart from when I film for this place.
Except for the Ssangyong branded undergarments, of course.
I found them in your knicker drawer.
I pay you to leave when we’re done, not raid my unmentionables.
I thought you might have some booze stashed in there.
No amount of liquor will wash away those sins. Or memories.
And when you’re ready to take them out for an Adrian marathon, it’s called a deglovebox.
Adrian’s exposure to the comment section probably has a similar feeling of being de-gloved, for him.
Nice! A day to catch up on blogs. I’ll try not to get mustard on the screen.
