It may seem wasteful and irresponsible, but the roars of those engines, the screams of the crowd, and the great taste of a tallboy will make you forget all the world’s frivolous problems in no time. Dust off your favorite flannel shirt, and come celebrate a night of a good ol’ American excess, when Monster Jam: Summer Heat barrels through the Bank Atlantic Center (1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise) this Friday and Saturday. Tickets cost $20 or $10 for the kids. Visit www.bankatlanticcenter.com for show times.
