We roll out the week reminiscing of afternoons as kids: playing hard, fantasizing about life on the USS Enterprise and snacking on pizza that comes from a vending machine. And what about racing Hot Wheels around the track just like real race car drivers? These grownups are set on making childhood fantasies real.

We already knew the USS Enterprise was the superstar of the universe – real or fictional. Wes Holley (@wesholly), we appreciate your bringing intergalactic travel to our attention.

Fresh Pizza Vending Machines to Dish Pies in the U.S
No more digging under couch cushions for change to tip the delivery driver. Eileen Marable (@EileenMarable), thanks a million for turning us on to fresh, made-to-order pies at the push of a button.

Giant Hot Wheels Track with Double Vertical Loop and Real Race Car Drivers? Check.
As a child, you may have fantasized about a life-sized Hot Wheels track and being behind the wheel racing up the orange, double vertical loops. Now two crazy drivers are doing it for real. Ryan Petty (@rpetty), our inner children dream of racing this track right along with you.

Hugs can be refreshing.
