This little red riding Ford, appearing through the mist at last year's Caffeine & Carburetors in Waveny Park, is May's featured car for the 2016 Bearded Best calendar. 

It gives me great pleasure to introduce this month's cover car. Not only is it from an event that I recommend to anyone on planet Earth, the Lime Rock Historics, but Santo Spadaro is a name that should ring a bell in more than a few automotive households.

I first saw March's car a few years ago in early 2014 at a Cars & Croissants in Berkley Heights, NJ. Since then, Tony Esteban's 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 "Sinister" has been a staple at key C&Cs, as well as a usual suspect at his own gathering of pals, the Wednesday night North Jersey Mopar meet. Sinister has evolved over the years and is in the operating room as we speak. Please take a moment to get to know a little more about Tony and his SRT, and make sure to say hello at the next C&C you see him at.

We are already 1/12 of the way complete with 2016 and it's that time where the month's cover car is introduced by its proud owner. February showcases the 1968 Jaguar E-Type of George Sweeper, who's owned this Series 1.5 OTS (open two-seater) for just about 45 years. That's a mechanical companionship that not many of us can brag about and George shares his with such humbleness. Please enjoy the following Q&A regarding his relationship with one special Jag.

Please take a moment to allow January's cover car, a 2011 Tesla Roadster, to be introduced by its proud owner.
