It’s Wednesday. One of my readers spotted this wild C8 Corvette roaming around Arizona, and it’s anything but ordinary. From the looks of the interior, it started life as an early C8, but it’s since been completely reimagined—full ground effects and widebody package, Lambo-style doors, air ride suspension, custom wheels, and a full carbon fiber wrap. No question about it, whoever owns this thing is all-in. Builds like this take serious time and serious money… and the license plate pretty much sums it up: OVRKIL.

Thanks for taking the time to send it in, Randy!

Keep, you said your girlfriend was in Tempe this weekend. I live just south in Gilbert. Saw this Vette going to dinner Saturday night. Pretty bad ass, lots of carbon fiber. Can lower the car with his phone when he parks. Funny I’d need to raise it to not roll out. Love your site.

It’s Tuesday. One of my readers saw that I was building the LEGO 1966 Batmobile and sent in photos of one of his own builds—A 1963 Corvette Grand Sport by Mattel. I wasn’t aware that Mattel had its own Brick Shop, so I was very pleased to see these two kits. I briefly checked Amazon and eBay for them both, but was only able to find the white kit. Sadly, no one seems to carry the blue kit. So now, after I finish the Batmobile, and then the Ford Model T kit, I’ll definitely pick up the ’63 Grand Sport for my next project—at least the white one, anyway!

Keep, Looking forward to the Batmobile completion, I looked up the Model T, I didn’t know they made that. You might be interested in my build not Lego but very similar. Could be fun for you since you love corvettes.

It’s Monday. I had a wildly successful bachelor weekend—every objective was met with flying (and slightly greasy) colors. Junk food intake? Impressive. Gaming hours? Borderline heroic. Horror movie marathon? Let’s just say I may never sleep again. Meanwhile, the girlfriend had a great time visiting her son in Tempe, soaking up those glorious temps in the upper 80s and low 90s. I was only a little bitter while shivering back home, where we’re apparently negotiating with the sun just to crack 60. Damn.

Anyway, I’m working on the LEGO Batmobile while watching the NASCAR race in Texas and snacking on a bag of heavily salted butter braid pretzels. I love Sunday afternoons!
