Fan Friday: Shake and Bake






If you don't like the movie Talladega Nights then I'm afraid we have nothing in common, and you will not care for this blog post. The good news is that everyone in America liked this movie and it won the Academy Award. For what you ask? Best movie ever made. So you all should like this post.

The coolest company ever, Xperience Days, contacted me and asked me to review one of their "Xperiences." I could choose from their long list which included Xperiences that were safe and practical, like a photography class, or more romantic, like a gondola ride for two, or a night of partying country western style at Billy Bob's Texas, the world's largest honkey tonk.

And then I saw it.... A Full Throttle Stockcar Ride Along Xperience at Texas Motor Speedway. Shake and bake baby. Shake and then bake. My mother was less than thrilled to learn that I would be doing 3 laps in a real NASCAR car at 165 miles per hour.

So I get to the track on a chilly Saturday morning and they have me suit up. I love how I did my hair and makeup for the occasion, there ain't nothin' sexy about that suit I put on. I'm not sure how Danica manages to look hot, I certainly didn't! In my defense though, I think Danica has a slightly more tailored suit than I did. 

I feel like I should just warn you, I look like a super nerd that is totally geeking out in every single one of these pictures. Like a teenage super fanboy at his first Comic Con. 
Holy toledo would you look at that nerd? I can't look at that picture without involuntarily snorting my drink out of my nose. If anyone needs a good photo to catfish people with, there is your sexy shot right there. You have my permission to reel in all of the guys. 

Listen, Red light, Yellow light, Green Light, GO! {name the song....}
HAHAHAAHAA. Oh lord. This picture. That picture sums up the ride. I don't know what I'm doing in this picture, but I think I'm pulling up my pants so  I can run to the bar faster. I don't have anything to compare this to...

...Oh wait, yes I do. Have you ever been on the Crazy Mouse roller-coaster? The one where you are in that little car thinking, "Oh no Mr. Mouse coaster, you're running out of room to make that left turn, you should turn soon, TURN TURN TURN RIGHT NOW MOUSE OR WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!" Yeah, and somehow the mouse makes the turn, and you live. It was like that. 
And just as I feared. The bangs were in the pits. (Ba dump chhhh) 

I'm on fire! Help me Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft on me to get the fire off me! Ok, I'm done with Ricky Bobby quotes. But really, to say I would recommend Xperience Days is an understatement. One of the coolest things I've ever done.  I like blogging. 

*Xperience Days gave me a free stock car ride in exchange for this post, my thoughts and opinions are my own. Some may be the Geico pig's though. 

Linking up with Whitney with a festive song for the occasion!
