Become An Official Autopian Member!
Hello Autopians! It’s David Tracy responding to the many messages from you asking how to can support The Autopian. We don't want to use a paywall or limit features because we believe the site should be open to everyone, as Jason, Beau and I started this site with the understanding that the best car culture is one in which everyone can participate.
So we decided to go with a voluntary membership model where you get stuff! Do you want to talk to the writers or hang out with us on Zoom as we ask you impossible car questions? Become a member! Do you want an exclusive merch? We’ve got you covered. If you’re a bit of a nut-job and want a car show in your hometown, or for me to swing by and help you fix your project car — no problem, I’m there.
If every one of our commenters chooses to become a member we'd have enough money to hire more writers and continue to support this great community. The Autopian just started and we want to grow with you; thank you for supporting automotive weirdness!

David will spend at least three full days helping you wrench on your car. He will bring pizza and beverages, and it will be an epic wrenchfest, though one focused on fun. This is not a rent-a-mechanic service, it’s an experience with one of the internet’s foremost shitbox wrenching experts.
