We easily surpassed the goal of having 200 orders/upgrades this month and, therefore, David will indeed be buying and living in a Pontiac Aztek. This is a treat for everyone. As this month is our 2nd anniversary we’re still offering 20% off of an annual membership (or upgrade) if you go to our membership page, select an annual plan, and enter code: mustang2yearanniversary. It’s that simple.
As a reminder, every Member at every plan level gets access to a (mostly) weekly email that give you a behind-the-scenes look at what’s going on with your favorite Autopian authors, as well as access to hidden posts like Tales from the Slack. In addition, as a Member you’ll see fewer ads. In particular, you won’t see the little video unit you have to X out of on mobile. It’s just one of those little things we want to do in order to make the page as easy to read as possible.
If you step up to Vinyl (that’s $80 with the discount), you’ll also get a t-shirt and a sticker. At the Velour level ($200 with the discount) you’ll get all that plus a sweet Member badge for your car and a drawing on your birthday. At Rich Corinthian Leather ($800 with the discount) we’ll randomly send you merch, invite you to some cool stuff, and send you a vial of rust from David’s car.
But you don’t have to do any of that! We’re happy to just have you as readers and we understand that it’s not financially viable (or wise) for everyone to be a contributor/Member. If you can contribute, that’s awesome, as it allows us to keep the ads here less obtrusive than other sites and focused on writing stuff you love.
Thanks to everyone who contributed! Our merch vendor was surprised to see how many new orders we got and is rapidly printing new shirts to meet the demand.
If you’re offering a 20% discount because it’s the second anniversary, does the mean it will be 30% for the third anniversary and so on up till 10 years, when membership becomes free with a 100% discount? And after that, you start paying us to be members? Not sure this is a sustainable business model.
i will renew in September at full price, but i think we need a ranked choice on which one he should buy. i have a feeling the Aztec is already in the Galpin lot
So when do we get to see this Aztek? What’s the timeline? Will DT be taking the Aztek on a North American tour? What cities will he be visiting? Do I need to clear my calendar?!?
Coming soon to a shower near you, David’s Shower Spaghetti Tour 2024.
I’d buy that tshirt
Oh man, that’d be a fantastic shirt. A stylized portrait, shower water spritzing around, Tupperware fulla spaghetti and dangling from the fork besides, a jug of what’s obviously Gojo in the background.
A raccoon in the back doing dishes…
I want him to buy it this weekend and, you know, I’m pretty supportive of a North American tour.
Oh yeah
