So, I was watching an episode of Fast N' Loud the other day, you know, just chillin', wrenching vicariously through my TV screen. Richard and the crew were working on this beat-up old Chevy, and who do you think rolls up to the Garage? None other than Thomas Weeks, the Misfit himself. Now, I've seen Thomas on the show before, but this time, something struck me. I mean, really struck me. The guy looks like he's been around the block a few times, and I couldn't help but wonder, "How old is Thomas Weeks, anyway?"
Let's Do Some Math
Alright, so I know what you're thinking. "Dude, why are you so curious about Thomas's age? It's not like he's gonna invite you to his birthday party." Well, hear me out. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but the guy's got this certain... je ne sais quoi, you know? He's got wisdom in his eyes, and I'm just curious about how much of that wisdom comes from experience.
Now, I'm not one to go snooping through public records or anything, but I did a little digging. And by "digging," I mean I Googled it. Turns out, Thomas Weeks was born on July 17, 1965. That's right, folks. He's a Cancer. I know, I know, that's not the kind of information you were looking for, but bear with me. We're getting there.
Must Read
So, How Old Is He?
As of 2022, Thomas Weeks is 56 years old. Yes, you read that right. The Misfit is in his mid-50s. Now, I don't know about you, but that's not what I expected. I mean, the guy looks like he's in his late 40s, early 50s, tops. But then again, I guess that's the magic of good genes and a life spent under the hood of cars.
But here's the thing, folks. Age is just a number, right? I mean, sure, Thomas has a few more years under his belt than some of the other guys at Gas Monkey Garage, but that doesn't make him any less of a badass. The guy's been building and restoring cars since who knows when. He's got skills, he's got experience, and he's got that certain something that makes him the Misfit we all know and love.

What's Age Got to Do With It?
You know, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Thomas's age doesn't really matter. Sure, it's interesting to know, but it doesn't change the fact that the guy is a legend in his own right. He's been around the block, he's seen the industry change, and he's still going strong. That's what's important.
So, next time you're watching Fast N' Loud, and you see Thomas Weeks strutting his stuff, remember that he's not just some guy with a few years on him. He's a walking, talking piece of automotive history. And that, my friends, is something to be respected.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some old Chevy parts to go sort through. Happy wrenching, everyone!
