Here are a few words from pinup model Aime Crespo:
"My name is Aime Crespo. I'm 26 years old and have an amazing son named Axel. I am from beautiful sunny San Diego. In my spare time I love to do yoga, dancing and, obviously, pose for pictures! I'm extremely goofy and a big ball of energy.
"I first fell in love with classic cars by going to the cruises in Barrio Logan. I love the sense of community that surrounds the car culture; we're one big family! The thing that I love most about classic cars is that they never go out of style. It's like each car has its own personality and story. I love meeting the owners and hearing the stories behind how they got their cars and all the effort they put into them."
