On Sunday, my family and I were invited to a blogger event in Indianapolis at a store called Ridemakerz. It was FANTASTIC! Ridemakerz is kind of like Build-a-Bear, but with cars. And it is SO COOL.
From their website:
The RIDEMAKERZ experience invites guests, or “Customizers,” into the ultimate car-customizing shop where they can CHOOZE, SONICIZE, MOTORIZE, MOBILIZE, CUSTOMIZE, PERSONALIZE and CRUIZEâ„¢ one-of-a-kind RIDEZ.
You start by picking out (or choozing, if you will) the body of the car you’re going to build. They have everything from Mini Coopers to monster trucks, and in every color imaginable. I picked this sweet Corvette.
Then you “sonicize,” or pick the sounds you want your car to make, and then head over to the “motorize” section, where they will make your vehicle remote-controlled!
After that, you can mobilize the car with cool wheels, customize with sweet rims, and personalize it with any number of decals, spoilers, grills or lights. The possibilities are endless! You even actually put the car together. Do you see this, Bobby? Andy and I are working on cars!
The night before we went, I told Kate that we were going to go build a car the next day, and she said “That sounds kind of boyish.” (How I ended up with this girly-girl is beyond me.) She was a little skeptical, but she had a ball. And her car ended up being anything but boyish.
We all had a great time, even Sam, who hung out in a carrier on Daddy’s back (although apparently I failed to get a picture of that!).
One of the best things about Ridemakerz is that it can fit into any budget. The cars start at $12, and each car comes with standard sound and wheels – so you can get a really cool car for a really cool price. Also, you can bring your car back to the store at any time to add on more features.
Ridemakerz is a blast for the whole family. A huge thank you to Ridemakerz (and the staff members, who were tremendous) and BSM Media for letting us take part!
You can experience Ridemakerz too! Leave a comment on this post and enter to win a $75 gift certificate. If there’s not a store near you, don’t worry – you can purchase a car online! The contest will end on Friday, December 19th at 5:00 p.m. and a winner will be chosen using Random.org.
Good luck, and thanks again to Ridemakerz and BSM Media!
