Some Assembly Required


Q. How many LEGO bricks does it take to build a full-size SUV?
A. 201,425

Q. How bored do you have to be?
A. I DON’T KNOW, but if I ever reach this point, someone please take me out AND shoot me.


This is AN actual, NO-KIDDING, full-sized replica of a Volvo XC90 SUV constructed solely with the famous we-all-played-with-em-as-kids LEGO bricks. Yep, just regular old everyday Legos. AND it gets weirder. The DAMNED THING is parked at LEGOLAND.
What is LEGOLAND you ask? It’s a 128-acre theme park located in Carlsbad, California, just NORTH of SAN Diego, basically geared towards families with kids. The place has “family rides” (over 50 of them), "Hands-ON" attractions AND shows. I’m NOT EVEN GOING to guess what “shows” they have about Legos. I CAN surmise however, that a day at LEGOLAND with a couple of young kids would make ANYONE over 18 both VIOLENTLY despise Legos AND forego ANY PLANS to breed, ever.
The “Legocar” ( AND try NOT to laugh ) was “NOTED as ONE of the top-three most gratifying projects of its KIND for the Master Builders...members of AN elite team of talented artists who DESIGN, create and MAINTAIN the THOUSANDS of LEGO brick models at LEGOLAND California.”
I THINK the Master Model Builders NEED some VACTION time and GIRLFRIENDS.
However, if LEGOLAND sounds like your THING, AND you’re NOT around the NORTH America NEIGHBORHOOD, you’re IN luck. There are three other LEGOLAND parks in the world
1. LEGOLAND Billund in Denmark
2. LEGOLAND Windsor, outside of London
3. LEGOLAND Deutschland in Germany
So, try aNd show some restraint, but enjoy yourself.
ANd No, the Legocar isn’t drivable.
