It’s Monday. April is basically birthday season for us. My sister, girlfriend, and I all have birthdays in April. So we all got together with family and went out for dinner over the weekend. We met at a swanky steakhouse and had a really nice dinner together. The food was fantastic and we all had a really good time.

On the flip side, Father Time is still undefeated. I mentioned last week that I messed up my rotator cuff, and trying not to use my left arm has been… a challenge. I managed to baby it for about a week and it was starting to feel better—until yesterday, when I tweaked it again and now it’s seriously aggravated—again. I’ve got an MRI scheduled for Thursday, so hopefully that’ll show exactly which tendon (or tendons) I managed to piss off and how bad it is.

Getting older sucks.

It’s Friday! It’s not always about exotics and million-dollar supercars—nope! Sometimes I like to mix things up with mermaids and a whole lot of Volkswagens!

One of my readers recently hit up a VW event down in Clearwater, Florida, and was kind enough to send over some photos to share with all of you. So dive into the VW goodness, and of course, don’t forget about Friday’s usual double babes & double jokes. Have a great weekend—I’ll catch you back here on Monday. Enjoy!

It’s Thursday. In this episode of MyClassicCarTV, the crew heads to New Jersey to visit John Sbrigato’s wild collection of TV and movie cars, highlighting a true blast from the past—The MonkeeMobile. Originally created in 1966 for The Monkees television show, this tribute build wasn’t just thrown together. John worked with the car’s original designer, Dean Jeffries, to get it right. The result? A groovy, over-the-top piece of rolling TV history that’s just as cool now as it was in the ‘60s.
