Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on March 30, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Richard Ray Rawlings! From revving up your first green '74 Mercury Comet at just 14 years old to building Gas Monkey Garage into a roaring success, you've always lived life in the fast lane. Your adventures on "Fast N' Loud" have shown us that grease stains and gasoline fumes can indeed be glamorous—especially when paired with your signature beard and endless enthusiasm.

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic burnouts, legendary builds, and plenty of cold beers shared among friends. May your engines run smooth, may rust never touch your chrome—and remember: age is only important if you're cheese or wine; luckily for you (and all of us), classic cars get better every year too!
