Sydney Sweeney’s Floridian vibes are “Immaculate.”
The “Euphoria” star has purchased a nearly $70,000 beach vehicle to go with her new $13.5 million oceanfront estate in the Florida Keys, TMZ reported early Friday.
Sweeney bought the Fiat 500 Jolly, which is a cross between a golf cart and a dune buggy, from Hampton Jollys in Greenwich, Conn., and dropped $68,500 on the ride. The cruiser comes in 10 different colors, but the “Anyone but You” actress opted for the sky blue, which will complement the ocean on which her house sits.

Reps for Hampton Jollys didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Page Six reported Thursday that Sweeney, 26, snagged the compound for $4.5 million less than its asking price. The 7,720-square-foot home, which is located about 30 minutes from Key West, features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a 520-bottle wine room, a 330-gallon aquarium, an elevator, a home gym, a game room and carport parking.

Photos obtained by Page Six show the manse also includes an infinity pool with a swim-up bar and a jacuzzi. Sweeney’s new property sits on a large piece of land, which will provide her and her guests plenty of privacy when they head to the Sunshine State.
It’s unclear whether Sweeney purchased the house on her own or if it’s a shared investment with her 40-year-old fiancé, Jonathan Davino.
Although she appears to be spending a lot of time in Florida, Sweeney will remain bi-coastal as she purchased her first property, a $3 million Tudor-style home in California, in 2021.

“I always thought that when I turned 18, I’d have all this money and I’d buy back my parents’ house and put them all back together again. And I never was able to, and I never did,” she told the Associated Press that December.
“So now being able to be in a house is such an incredible, humbling, amazing accomplishment that I still can’t believe I was able to pull off.”
Sweeney appears to have become a passionate real estate investor, as she also purchased a Bel-Air, Calif., fixer-upper for $6.2 million last year despite claiming she was cash poor.
“If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don’t have income to cover that,” the rising sex symbol told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022. “I don’t have someone supporting me, I don’t have anyone I can turn to, to pay my bills or call for help.”
Despite acquiring quite the real estate portfolio, the “Immaculate” star said a couple of years ago that she was cash poor and relied upon her extensive designer campaign deals for income. @sydney_sweeney“If I just acted, I wouldn’t be able to afford my life in LA,” she told the Hollywood Reporter. “I take deals because I have to.” @mollyddickson / Instagram
The “Madame Web” actress suggested her campaign deals with Miu Miu, Laneige and Armani beauty pay her more than her day job.

“The established stars still get paid, but I have to give five percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, three percent or something like that to my business manager,” the Emmy-nominated star explained.
“I have to pay my publicist every month, and that’s more than my mortgage,” Sweeney continued. “If I just acted, I wouldn’t be able to afford my life in LA. I take deals because I have to.”
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) -100 Black Men of Greater Florida Gainesville held their 6th annual Aviation Academy and participants say it did not disappoint.
“My favorite part was flying the planes,” Regan Hollinger, a student shared. “The experience of being able to fly over the Gator stadium and over people’s houses, over the interstate, over lakes, it was just an amazing experience and I love being in the air.”
Students started the two-day camp at the Kika Silva Planetarium at Santa Fe college and ended it with a visit to Gainesville Regional Airport’s University Flight School.
“We have individuals that are members of the 100 that are pilots,” Ray McKnight, the President of 100 Black Men Greater Florida Gainesville commented. “They’re taking the kids up in the aircraft some of the kids are even getting the opportunity to fly the plane.”

The future pilots learned about helicopters, military aircraft, drones, and more.
Myla Chilongo, a high school participant says though the name of the organization may be misleading, everyone is welcome to reap the benefits.
“Even though this is for the 100 black men I think that it’s important that this organization and aviation thing is co-ed because it allows black women to think outside the box,” she shared.
Students also enjoyed a catered lunch, a DJ, and a raffle contest.
Officials with University Flight School say in the future, they hope to see the kids enroll with them and take flight as professionals.
PANAMA CITY BEACH — Three Alabama men have died from likely drowning after becoming distressed while swimming at a Florida Panhandle beach, authorities said Saturday morning.
The young men had traveled to the Panama City Beach area Friday evening, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.
The sheriff’s office received an emergency call about the distressed swimmers shortly after 8 p.m., officials said. The U.S. Coast Guard and others began rescue efforts. The men, who were not immediately identified, were found separately and eventually pronounced dead at local hospitals.
Earlier this week, single red flags had been posted at the beach, indicating high-hazard surf and rip current conditions.

On Thursday, a Pennsylvania couple visiting Florida with their six children drowned after they were caught in a rip current while swimming. The man and woman were caught in the current on Hutchinson Island, along Florida’s southeast coast, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.
Brevard Space Coast launch sites rockets spaceX ULA NASA
A quick look at which rockets lift off from various Brevard launch sites.
After a back-to-back scrub, followed by a rare T-0 abort on June 14, Space X will try once again to launch the Starlink 10-2 mission.
SpaceX is aiming for a liftoff time of 1:15 p.m. EDT on Sunday, yet the launch window runs until 5:01 p.m. if needed.

SpaceX launch delay from Florida
This is the mission that resulted in an unusual scrub for SpaceX. After the Falcon 9 engines ignited on June 14, spectators watched as nothing happened with the rocket. The clock was at T-0, yet the rocket was still on the pad. There had been an abort − something of a rarity for SpaceX.
SpaceX did not give an official answer about what happened to this Starlink mission. However, the company’s VP of launch, Kiko Dontchev, took to X the following evening with a statement that the rocket had experienced a hardware issue. SpaceX decided to take the troubled Falcon 9 off Space Launch Complex 40 to get German TV satellite Astra 1P to the pad. But then weather got in the way of that launch.
Finally, on Thursday, Astra 1P rocketed off Space Launch Complex 40, ending an almost two-week launch drought on the Space Coast.

The launch drought wasn’t due to just weather and technical issues. With SpaceX only having access to Kennedy Space Center’s Pad 39A and Space Launch Complex 40, this made for a bit of a rocket traffic jam as teams were already preparing to raise a Falcon Heavy rocket on Pad 39A.
The payload of that triple-core Falcon Heavy is the GOES-U weather satellite, which is set to liftoff as soon as 5:16 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
SpaceX upcoming rocket launches from Florida
Before we see GOES-U carried to orbit on a Falcon Heavy, SpaceX has plans to get this Starlink 10-2 off from Launch Complex 40. If SpaceX cannot launch during Sunday’s window, a backup opportunity exists on Monday beginning at 1:00 p.m. EDT.
Being from the Starlink Group 10, this Falcon 9 will be launching into the northeast.
