I drive a Hyundai. I’m not embarrassed by that fact – it’s practical, sturdy and affordable. But I do fantasize about the sports car and the Big Body Benz. So when RIDEMAKERZ contacted me for a giveaway I was in! And it didn’t hurt that I was familiar with the brand. Dev and I once tried to build a car at their Myrtle Beach store – think Build-A-Bear with pimped out rides – with no luck because the lines were crazy and the kids inside building were in a frenzy. The option to order online is a sweet alternative.
Below is the car we “built” at RIDEMAKERZ.com. It’s a Chevy Corvette C6RS in Piston Fire Red. An all-American sports car for the Fouth of July. You put the body on the chassiz (their spelling, not mine), the wheels and rims, and you can order spoilers, sounds, decals and a bunch of other stuff. It’s fun to put together with the kids, and even more fun to play with. We went with the remote controlled option.
To win the gift card Dev and I will choose from the best comment about why your kid loves cars more than anyone else. Be unique, and be honest. You also have to promise to email me a pic of the car you build so I can add it to this post at a later date. Entries/comments will close on this post on Monday, July 6th at 12 noon Eastern time.
Trust me, this is a VERY cool giveaway. And this is not just for the boys!
See you at the finish line…
My little one loves cars more than anyone else! When I told him to put his hot wheel cars down(because toys aren’t allowed at the table while eating) he dunked them in his cereal when my back was turned. Needless to say as we’re eating I start beginning to see the tops of small vehicles under his cheerios…I pretended I didn’t notice!
Love of cars? Oh man, TheMonk has it. He recognizes different makes and models when we are driving around. He can tell me which cars look like ours and which ones are hatchbacks and which ones have trunks.
He has a fascination with the tail pipes of cars and where they are positioned. That led to a discussion on how engines work and he will now tell you how engines work with gas, pistons, etc.
He recently found out that his Hot Wheels fit perfectly in his pockets and likes to bring at least two cars with him wherever we go.
Finally, he loves fast cars. It’s usually the first question he asks about a new car he sees and I know he’d want to pick out a really fast car if we win!
Well, since it’s just the two of you I let Dev make the decision. He’s a fantastic reader so he read both a couple of times. He thought Heather’s story was very funny, but he liked Matthew’s comment a little more. Congrats Matthew, you are the winner! Thank you Heather for playing!
So bummed we missed out on this. My boy loves cars like you wouldn’t believe, so I’ll have to keep this site in mind for his next birthday. Thanks for the tip.
