This is our 2nd anniversary month and, in that spirit, we’re giving things away. First, you’re getting 20% off an annual membership or upgrade if you sign up for an annual plan in April (just click that link). Second, if 200 people upgrade/gift/buy a membership then David will buy a Pontiac Aztek and live in it for a week (we are 69 short). Third, and this is new, if you become a new member you’ll have a chance at a real Valterri Bottas speedo, towel, or air freshener. Sign up now!
As you may have seen, we planned to rent the Valtteri Bottas ute, and eventually ended up getting to do it. One of the surprises for Lewin, who did the renting, was that the ute had a bunch of swag. As is our policy, we like to share the swag we get with members!
And, oh boy, there’s a bunch of swag. Let’s start with the big stuff.
Put Your Budgy In A Bottas Budgy Smuggler
Uber Carshare Australia gave us the now infamous Valtteri Bottas swimming brief, known as a budgy smuggler in Australia. It has his face on it, because that’s the joke. We have three of these to give away and I’m going to give two to existing members and one to a member who signs up in April. Given the numbers, the odds are pretty good!
We cannot promise you will look this good, however.
Park Your Bottas On This Towel
I love this ute. What a ridiculous idea. The towels also have Valtteri’s face on them and the phrase “park your Bottas right here,” which is a good joke. Because his name sounds like boat-ass when pronounced by Americans. It’s the same deal as above, 2x towels are going to existing members and one towel to a new April sign-upee.
Make Your Car Smell Like Bottas
What does Valtteri Bottas smell like? I have no idea. I bet it’s great. I bet Bottas giffs off a freshly cut Finnish pine tree scent. Again, two of these mustachioed dudes are going to existing members, one of them is going to a new-as-of-April member.
That’s a total of 9 giveaways, with three going to people who become new members this month (that link is for Vinyl, if you want to gift a membership, or buy a different plan, you can use this link or code mustang2yearanniversary). You can also just become a monthly member and you’re in! There’s no discount, but it’s the cheapest/easiest way to do it.
What are you waiting for? Get your Bottas in gear.
You’d get more rich Corinthian leather subs if you raffled off a pair of Valtteri speedos as worn by DT during his weeklong camping trip in the Aztek just for RCL-tier members.
We’re not overly proud or anything but I think we’re above selling used swimsuits (for now).
Thank the oil soaked automotive gods for this small kindness. ew
Ohhh – I’d love to have that guy’s face on my bulge…
Does anyone ever proofread anything on this site? He is called Valtteri, not Valterri for goddammit’s sake.
Speaking for myself, took me three tries to see the difference on what you wrote, and up till now I could swear the guy’s name was Valtieri.
Well, this is now up for grabs, I guess!
I think I could rock the budgy smugglers.
From the waist up, no, but not gonna lie, I think my legs might be better.
How ’bout we *threaten* non-members about being sent these swag, unless they sign up?
The odds are good but the goods are odd.
I thought you *wanted* new members…
Maybe DT sees the new sign-up counter approaching 200 and becomes desperate.
You can’t fool me, that’s Brian Dennehy.
Rejected Bottas chachkies:
Sauber pit-timer/sundial
George Russell voodoo doll
Mullett wig once worn by Lewis Hamilton
Underappreciated comment. Sundial had me going.
