It’s Friday! It’s not always about exotics and million-dollar supercars—nope! Sometimes I like to mix things up with mermaids and a whole lot of Volkswagens!

One of my readers recently hit up a VW event down in Clearwater, Florida, and was kind enough to send over some photos to share with all of you. So dive into the VW goodness, and of course, don’t forget about Friday’s usual double babes & double jokes. Have a great weekend—I’ll catch you back here on Monday. Enjoy!

It’s Thursday. In this episode of MyClassicCarTV, the crew heads to New Jersey to visit John Sbrigato’s wild collection of TV and movie cars, highlighting a true blast from the past—The MonkeeMobile. Originally created in 1966 for The Monkees television show, this tribute build wasn’t just thrown together. John worked with the car’s original designer, Dean Jeffries, to get it right. The result? A groovy, over-the-top piece of rolling TV history that’s just as cool now as it was in the ‘60s.

It’s Wednesday. LEGO sets stopped being “just for kids” somewhere around the moment adults realized they could drop a weekend (and a small fortune) building a 7,000-piece spaceship and call it “self-care.” What started as simple bricks has evolved into intricate, display-worthy builds—from hyper-detailed cars and architectural landmarks to massive collector sets tied to movies and pop culture. These days, grown-ups proudly clear shelf space for their creations, swap building tips online, and even use LEGO as a way to unwind after work—kind of like puzzles, but cooler and with way more bragging rights. Turns out stepping on one still hurts the same, though—some things never change.

After getting completely sucked into the Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter like it was a plastic-brick gateway drug, I figured it was time for my second build. One totally innocent trip to the LEGO store later, I walked out with the 1966 Batmobile! This thing is way more complicated compared to the Starfighter, with more than double the pieces and about ten times the “what the hell have I gotten myself into” energy.

Stay tuned Bat-friends, I’ll be sure to post updates as the build progresses!
