Ridemakerz - Giveaway

*this contest is closed. the winner is the Warner Family of Love grows more Love. Thanks to all who entered, I wish I had a red corvet for each and every one of you.

Every now and again I get the privilege and honor to do fun bloggy outings here in Indy. I jump at every chance I get; they are always SO much fun. This past weekend my family and I got to attend a really fun event at Ridemakerz. I had never been to Ridemakerz before, so I went into the event not knowing what to expect.

When we got there we were given the VIP grand tour of the store (which resembles an auto garage, in a shiny sort of way), and download on how the process worked. From the moment we were there I was blown away. The store is spectacular, the employees were beyond helpful and friendly, and all of our rides (yes I said rides, we go to make three) were amazing.

So what is Ridemakerz you ask? Well....think build-a-bear, but totally different (totally cooler in my opinion). Think street cars, monster trucks, sound effects, tricked out treads, decalz, spoilerz, tail pipez and so much chrome it will make your head spin!

Basically, what you do is visit a Ridemakerz store or go online, choose a car body (nearly 70 different bodies and paint styles to choose from), then choose ala carte how you want to customize your ride. Going from station to station, you decide what your car is going to look like. It's up to the creator how it's going to be motorized, sonicized, mobilized, customized and personalized (which in our case meant a mean orange paint job adorned with flower decals).

This store has totally outdone themselves when it comes to creating a interactive retail experience for the whole family. I can honestly say it was one of the first times where my husband and I were having just as much fun as my 4 year old daughter.

A word of warning when you go....pencil in a good chunk on time. It's truly a destination event, meaning you will want to spend some time designing your ride!

A gigantic monster truck hug goes to all the folks at Ridemakerz for hosting us, and to BSM Media for making it fantastic! Thanks guys!

Win it! Oh yes I do! I have a $75 dollar gift certificate to Ridemakerz for one lucky DesignHER Momma reader. To be entered, go to Ridemakers and start customizing your own ride. Come back here and leave me a comment letting me know what style and color you would choose.
