Welcome to July 12th on the National Day calendar. Today we're indulging in a crispy favorite and appreciating some classic wheels. National French Fry Day is a celebration of those golden, crispy and irresistible strips of potatoes. French fries have become a beloved side dish around the world. Did you know that in Belgium it's common to serve french fries with mayonnaise? The average American eats nearly 30 pounds of French fries each year. It's insane whether you prefer them skinny, curly or loaded with toppings. French fries are a universal favorite. Definitely one of my favorites. So I know you like them all different ways but you must have a favorite topping on french fries or something to dip them in. Probably like truffle, garlic and parsley. Oh my goodness, let's get all fancy here. From tasty treats to classic machines, it's also a national collector car appreciation day. This day honors the beauty, history and craftsmanship of classic and collector cars. The four bottle tea introduced in 1908 is often regarded as the first affordable automobile, making car ownership accessible to the masses. Today car enthusiasts celebrate by showcasing their prized vehicles at car shows and cruises, keeping the legacy of these beauties alive. Did you see what I was rolling in? You know, on the show, you'll see these cars at La Toia was in. They were amazing. So cool. And I got to drive. I'm not going to lie. I'm a classic car lover now. Really? You were not before? You know, I drive a Tesla so it's kind of hard to get into it. But I see. Like, yes, I'm totally a classic car lover and eventually I think I'm going to be a collector. That's fantastic La Toia.
