Did you know that there\u2019s now a unicorn-themed monster truck named Sparkle Smash? <\/p>\n<p>And did you know that it is on its fabulous way to the City Beautiful as part of the perennial truckasaurus battle that is Monster Jam? Well, now you know. Piloted by Jam veteran Kayla Blood, the whimsically hued and behorned automobile is a welcome relief to the testosterone fog in the air, and apparently inspiring to the younger grrrls in the audience to boot. <\/p>\n<p>You can also see Grave Digger, Megalodon and the usual suspects smashing it up in fine fashion, and copious automotive carnage. Start those engines. <\/p>\n<p>7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, Camping World Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place, <a href=\"http:\/\/campingworldstadium.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">campingworldstadium.com<\/a>, $36-$120.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando\u2019s daily dose of what matters.
