02x07 - Lowrider Showrider

[bunniefuu]

[tools whir]

[engine revs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Rabbit] I think we need to step it up.

We need a big-money build.

Lamborghini, maybe a Porsche, a Ferrari.

That's the only way
we're gonna meet our goal.

I mean, exotics are big money,
but they cost a lot of money.

I just wanna point out
we all have a lot of equal risk in here

between our business, our families,
lookin' at houses down here.

I mean…

I didn't come all the way out here
to strike out.

You didn't have Carlos
and you lookin' at houses out here

just so we can, "Eh. Make it work."

I mean, we set a goal, damn it.
Let's hit it.

You know, parts aren't gonna be cheap.

[Rabbit] We gotta buy it right.

-That's it.
-[Rabbit] And we've gotta buy it smart.

But if we do those things,
that's gonna slingshot us to our goal.

[Jaime] I'm startin' to understand
where Rabbit's coming from.

If we wanna jump in the ring
in a different weight class,

we gotta step it up,
or we're gonna end up limping home.

[Wes] You know, hittin' our goal's
what we're here to do.

I… I mean, it's risky.

You know, we could put
all of our eggs in one basket.

But I'm a risk-taker.
I'm down to go for it.

Same here. It's scary,
but that's why we're talking about it.

So you both are in?

-I'm in.
-I'm in.

So are we doing this?

I trust you. Let's do it.

It's the kiss of death
whenever a female tells me that.

-[all laugh]
-We're goin' exotic car shoppin', kids.

-Vámonos.
-[clapping]

-Bring us back something great.
-After you, Conejo.

[Rabbit] When you get done
with your union break,

let's try to get some cars turned out.

[Scooter] Yeah.

[Wes] If we're doin' a lowrider,
we gotta do hydraulics.

We're adding a lotta guts to this Caddy,
with a lotta hydraulics and tubing,

and everything else
that'll get this car to hoppin' around.

So I have to make sure
there's space for everything.

We don't want any of our hoses
gettin' caught in the suspension,

causin' fluid to go everywhere.

Not only could it ruin the paint job
and the interior,

but it'll make you look like a fool
in front of everyone you show off to.

[Wes] All right. I've gotta meet Rabbit
about the Mercedes.

[rock music playing]

Rabbit, where the hell
are you takin' me, man?

We are in New Mexico.

[Rabbit] Son, we've gotta expand
our horizons just a little bit.

You know, we had to step outta El Paso.

We got a guy who wants to come look
at this thing right here in Las Cruces.

So, hell, we'll just come to him.

-Hopefully, this deal will go through.
-Hopefully, I'll be ridin' back with you.

-This is it.
-[Wes] Finally.

I'll hang back in the truck.

-David!
-[David] What's goin' on, brother?

[Rabbit] Drug me out
in the middle of nowhere!

We appreciate you coming out here.
We were just on a family trip.

Need something for my daughter.

She just looked at it online and loved it.
She loves purple, so…

This is a beaut.

Well, it's cool. It's a classic.
You know what I mean? Like…

Makes you feel like
you're doing parenting right

when your kids are
naturally drawn to stuff like this.

You know, she's got me wrapped around
her finger. So, little daddy's girl.

-I love it. Check her out.
-Let me take a look. This is beautiful.

-Look at this custom paint job.
-[Rabbit] 1975.

Mercedes 300D.

-Diesel, baby.
-[Rabbit] That's right.

She ain't the fastest car on the block,
but it will run till the end of time.

I tell you,
these things are built like a tank.

[David] This is definitely
something that will keep her safe.

[Rabbit] A lot of custom work.
Obviously, the paint.

Shaved the bumpers on it.

The fender flares, of course, stanced out.

Four-wheel disc brakes,
independent rear suspension.

I mean, this little car's got everything.

It's ready to rock.
It'd be a great car for a teenager.

I'll be honest. My daddy said,
"Son, it ain't fast enough to k*ll you,

and that's one thing I like."

-Mind if I look inside?
-Knock yourself out.

[David] All right.

Looks really good.

The leather's really kept up great.

[Rabbit] It's gorgeous.
All original too, I'm telling you.

You know, right now,
we're askin' 40 grand for this.

Um…

I'm looking at close to around 30,000.

I don't know if you can swing it
and kind of work with me on those numbers.

You know, I can work with you,
but I can't work with you quite that much.

[sighs] I'm really needing to kind of
stay closer to my budget.

[Rabbit] Yeah, this is back
when they built cars.

This is German engineering at its best.

Imagine this thing,

your daughter's face
seeing a purple classic Mercedes.

I mean, you're gonna be,
like, the best dad in the world.



That's a little more
than I wanted to, but…

Um…

-It's your baby girl though.
-Yeah, she's my baby girl.

-Yeah, I think 35 will do.
-I love it.

-I appreciate your time to come out here.
-I get that.

She'll be a happy girl.

You do the deal?

Son, does a…
does a bear crap in the woods?

[Wes] All right.

-35,000.
-Wow.

The cost of the car
and the restorations were $19,200.

So it's a nice profit at almost 16 grand.

But spring is on its way,

and even solid builds like this
won't get us to that $500,000 goal.

This does go with Rabbit's point.

A big swing is the only way
we're gonna get there.

[upbeat salsa music playing]

["No You Cant" by KikBak
& Gerald Warbuxs playing]

[Andy] Our shop is new
to the lowrider scene,

so, in order to legitimize the build,

I've been working on the paint scheme
with painters from Drive Rodz and Restos,

who are famous here
in the El Paso lowrider community.

And this will increase the value
and give us more street cred.

A lowrider paint job,
you've gotta start with a flake.

So we had flake.
Gotta have a candy, so we had candies.

You won't have a lowrider
unless you've got fades and pinstripes.

-♪ No, you can't, no, you can't ♪
-♪ Sumtin' ain't sittin' right ♪

-♪ No, you can't, no, you can't ♪
-♪ Gotta keep my game tight ♪

-♪ No, you can't, no, you can't ♪
-♪ No, no, no, no… ♪

Too many layers on a lowrider
is like asking a person

if there's too much closet space
in a home.

There's no such thing.

You just go all out,
and there is no stopping point.

So, really, "less is more"
is not a term in the lowrider world.

It's like, "Get it on, man. Pour it on."

-♪ No, no, no, no ♪
-♪ No, you can't, no, you can't ♪

-♪ No, you can't, no, you can't ♪
-♪ No, no, no, no ♪

[upbeat salsa music playing]

[Rabbit] What is up?

-Conejo! Wesito! What's up, guys?
-[Wes] What's up?

You guys didn't bring
a Mercedes back with you, did you?

-[Rabbit] No, ma'am. She is gone.
-Nope. A pocket full of money.

You know, I had a soft spot for that car.

Can't get attached to 'em.

No, I know, but I just feel like that car
would really appeal to a young person.

Guy bought it for his daughter,
so that makes sense.

And I'm sure you gave him a good deal.



Got a soft spot for the family stuff.

That means he charged five grand more.

[all laughing]

[Scooter] So how's the Caddy?

-It's comin' along.
-[Rabbit] It's lookin' pretty.

There's gonna be a lowrider show
at Lincoln Park in seven days.

-We should take it there.
-Seven days?

-[Jaime] Okay.
-We don't wanna get lost in the crowd.

We need some pop.

Lowriding is such a big part
of El Paso's history and culture.

Lincoln Park is at the center of that.

Last time we took a car
to sell at Lincoln Park,

we didn't get the attention we wanted,
despite our super cool outfits.

-[Rabbit] Hmm. Tough crowd.
-Whew.

This is our first custom lowrider,
so we have to make a big impression

if we wanna get respect
from the lowriding community.

[Jaime] You know what?

I have a girlfriend that goes way back,

and she is, like, considered
pretty iconic, queen of lowriding.

She's been on the cover
of Lowrider Magazine

more than any other model.

-I think I know who it is. I'm not--
-On the count of three. See if we match.

One, two, three.

[in unison] Dazza.

-That's it.
-Oh! Dazza!

Oh no. You know Dazza?

We go back a long time.

We've done
Lowrider Magazine stuff together.

Wow.

[Jaime] Dazza is the lowrider model

who's been on the most covers
of Lowrider Magazine.

She is iconic in the lowrider industry.

I've been friends with Dazza for 25 years.

We've worked together,
done Lowrider Magazine stuff.

People know her from all over the world
for who she is.

An icon like Dazza like that,
people will flock to it, man.

-It'll be crazy!
-See if she's up for it.

-Okay.
-[Wes] It'd be awesome.

Let me know when she's here.
I'll give her a tour of El Paso.

-The Scooter Tour of El Paso.
-Oh no. No.

-[Wes] Calm down.
-Not the Scooter Tour.

-We're gonna leave the Dazza up to Jaime.
-[Scooter] All right.

What's goin' on with this exotic car
you guys were lookin' for?

Uh, right now,
we haven't turned up a whole lot yet.

I think we should call Chema,
my friend from Juárez.

-The one that had all the antique cars.
-The one with the cool yard.

-Yes. Maybe he can help us on that.
-[Jaime] Okay.

We gotta go
and let these guys get to work.

Get on your cell phone
and call her. Ándale. Do it.

-Ándale?
-[Scooter] Ándale, ándale!

-Oh my gosh.
-[Scooter] Let's go!

[Jaime laughs]

♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey, turn ♪

♪ Turn up a little bit ♪

[Scooter] There's our man right there.
Chema!

[speaking Spanish]

[Scooter] I've known Chema for years.
He's very well-connected in the car scene.

And he comes from
a very wealthy family in Juárez.

They're big car collectors,

and they have
a huge collection of holy grails.

[Rabbit] This is a 1954 Kaiser Darrin.

I'll be honest,
I've seen two in my entire life.

-This is the second?
-[Rabbit] This is the second.

Last year, we didn't have the budget
for any of the cars he had at the time.

But now that we're looking for
something more expensive,

maybe now he'll have something for us.

So we're looking to get
in the exotic market.

[translates]

Lamborghini, Ferrari,
Aston Martins, big-ticket cars.

[translates]

[Chema replying in Spanish]

[in Spanish] We don't have exotic cars.

But I have work contacts from Juárez
that live here, in El Paso.

[in English] He says he's got a couple of
friends he does business with in Juárez,

but they live here in El Paso.

[speaking Spanish]

-They own a Lamborghini Diablo 1997.
-[Rabbit] Really?

[in Spanish] So are you interested?
I can give you the information…

[conversing in Spanish]

[in English] I'm telling him to call them,
so we can check out the car.

[Rabbit] I love it.

[in Spanish] Linda, how are you?

This is Jose Maria, Chema.

Hey, do you remember the Lamborghini
you tried to sell me a few days ago?

I have some very good friends

that are interested in seeing
the Lamborghini, today.

Thank you, Linda.

I'll give you the office address,
her phone number,

so you can see her.

[in English] She has the car.

He's gonna send me the information
so we can check it out.

-Let's do it.
-[Chema] Okay.

[conversing in Spanish]

-[Rabbit] I hope this works out.
-[Scooter] I have a good feeling about it.

[Rabbit] Don't get too excited yet.

[upbeat rock music playing]

[Lucky] So we got lots of seats
in this huge body of a Cadillac.

And I want this interior to be
loud but classy.

So I'm doin'
ivory color seats with gold trim.

We just got our Cadillac Fleetwood wheels.

They are gold,
and then we have chrome on the outside,

so they match the car
with the gold and chrome.

We're gonna put these on.

Wire wheels are
an essential part of a lowrider,

especially hundred-spoke or more.

The ones I'm installing on the Cadillac
are gonna be triple gold

to give it the nice, flashy look
with the Whitewall tires.

I feel like Thor.

They look beautiful.

Bling, bling!

[upbeat music playing]

Tell you what, this is definitely
a lot different from Juárez.

[Scooter] Right?

-[Rabbit] It's a little highfalutin.
-[Scooter] Just a little.

[Rabbit] You know, there's
a lot of advantages to this Diablo.

We're buying it here, in El Paso,

so we don't have to deal with customs,
the border, any of that stuff.

[Scooter] True, but we may have
to deal with US prices,

which is the whole reason
why we go to Mexico in the first place.

You know.

-[Rabbit] Oh my God!
-[Scooter] Uh-oh.

-[Rabbit] This thing is hideous!
-Is that the…

Is that Pepto-Bismol pink?

-Oh man.
-[Rabbit] Ugh!

[Scooter] I feel I should have
worn darker glasses.

-Darker shades.
-[Rabbit] Ugh.

[Scooter] Chuco Gato?

I can understand we're Chucotown,
but that doesn't look like no cat.

That looks like a Chihuahua dog.

-What's with the triangles?
-I don't know. What's with everything?

It's like… literally like
it was vandalized by a third-grader.

[Scooter] It's got
a fluffy steering wheel too.

-Well, you gotta look past the pink.
-[Scooter] It's hard!

It's very hard.

This is a 1997 Diablo.

Just this past January,
one of these sold for a million bucks.

You know
what diablo means in Spanish, right?

-What's that?
-[Scooter] Devil.

The Pink Devil.

[Rabbit] When most people hear
the word Lamborghini,

there's usually one word
that comes to mind.

Rich.

The Diablo was first introduced in 1990.

Its futuristic body was an instant hit
with car enthusiasts around the globe.

[engine revving]

With its V12 engine,
the Diablo was Lamborghini's first model

capable of exceeding speeds
of 200 miles per hour.

Despite being in production for a decade,

Lamborghini only built
around 2,500 Diablos,

making them very rare and desirable today.

-Oh, hi, guys.
-[woman] Hi.

-We're the guys Chema told you about.
-[woman] Ah, Chema!

-Yes, I'm Scooter.
-[woman] Yes.

-[man] Hey.
-[Scooter] Hi.

-This is Rabbit.
-[woman] Hi there.

-[man] How are you?
-[Rabbit] Nice to meet you.

Chema mentioned the car,
but I wasn't expecting the color!

-Bam! It hits you when you see it. Whoa!
-Right? I know!

-[Rabbit] Tell us about your little Lambo.
-Yeah.

We got it
to attract attention for our business.

And we wanted to showcase the colors

and everything that was going
in the late '90s.

So we certainly got
a lot of attention with it.

-That definitely attracts attention.
-Right?

[Juan] I hate to say it,
but it did its job back then.

We're outgrowing it,
and it's time to move on.

-Mind if I open the door on it?
-[Juan] No, go for it.

What's with the… with the Chuco Gato?

-We're in El Chuco, right?
-Yeah.

-And I love cats, so…
-[Juan] Yeah.

-Oh!
-It's a Sphynx cat.

Have you seen those Sphynx cats?

-I used to own one.
-Yes. The hairless ones.

-Yes. Another part of the phase.
-But… that looks kinda like a Chihuahua.

Mind if I fire it up?

-[Juan] Go for it.
-Yeah. I hope you like the steering wheel.

-[Rabbit] Oof!
-[Juan chuckles]

[Rabbit] It is not made for six-footers,
that's for sure.

-[Scooter] Don't mess up the hair.
-[Linda] Right?

You look good in it.

[engine starts]

Rev it up a little.

[revving engine]

-[Scooter] Don't wake up the neighbors.
-This is a badass ride, dude.

But cosmetically, it's trash.

It's ugly, yes.

Buying a Lambo is a major risk.

In a lot of ways, yes.

There's a lotta expensive parts
in this car. It's been sittin'.

[Scooter] Yeah, and as we all know,
Lambos require a lot of maintenance.

Obviously, the name of the game is to
get these cars at the best prices you can.

What are you guys lookin'
to get outta this?

Well, make me an offer.

Would 40 buy it?

[Juan] Hmm.

No.



That's a lot of money.

I was ready for low six figures.



When Juan came
right out of the gate at 45 grand,

I'm like…

-Oh.
-Oh!

Tell you what.

You're at 45, I'm at 40.



-What do you think, Juan?
-Ah, sounds good to me.

-Let's just get rid of it.
-Yeah, we're done with this phase.

-[Juan] Okay.
-Got a deal.

-Awesome. Thank you so much.
-[Rabbit] I love it.

I've been around this a long time.

It's not a money thing.
It's more just kinda "let's move on."

The car did its job.
Apparently did it well.

These people live in a nice place.

-Yes.
-Got a nice business and…

When they're ready to sell, they're ready.
I've had clients like that.

$43,000.

We can go shopping now.

-Shopping money.
-[Rabbit] Don't spend it all in one spot!

I know this build's gonna take
a lot of time and a lot of money. Yes.

But I do know good money when I see it.

-Just enough to get me in trouble.
-[Scooter] Same here.

[Rabbit] But it's worth the gamble.

[upbeat pop music playing]

[Scooter] Whoo-hoo, whee! We're here.

We are here.

[Wes] A pink Lamborghini.

Bring it on in.

-Huh? Whew!
-[Jaime] What did you guys bring?

[Scooter] You like it? [laughs]

Isn't it good?

It sounds great, but it looks hideous.

-Yeah. It's terrible.
-Yes! I was thinking the same.

[Andy] Looks like it's been
to the eyelash clinic.

"Gimme that million-dollar look."

This thing is not built
for full-sized people.

It is a Lamborghini,
but I don't know what happened to it.

I dig it.

[Rabbit] This is a Lamborghini Diablo.

These things are sought after
everywhere around the world.

Right now, we all make fun of these big
plastic lashes and the stupid goofy wrap.

But we've got a supercar that's desirable,

that a Lamborghini collector
is gonna want.

-We peel off a crappy wrap, pretty paint.
-[Jaime] Mm-hmm.

[Rabbit] This car, I think, 200 grand.

-[Wes] Wow.
-[Jaime] Amazing.

-How's it runnin'?
-Decent.

-[Wes] Okay.
-[Scooter] Tell them how much.

$43,000.

-Wow.
-Something's gotta be wrong with it.

Being a Lamborghini,
it can be a blessing or a curse,

depending on what's wrong
mechanically with this.

Well, with it being wrapped,

it's one of the presents
we don't know exactly what we just got.

So we have to unwrap this thing
and see if we've got a body.

If it's in bad shape, we're in trouble.

-Yeah, parts alone are gonna be expensive.
-[Lucky] Yeah.

-You gotta spend money to make money.
-That's true.

[Jaime] We'll know more when we unwrap it.

But if we can keep this bill below 50,000,
it can make for some serious money.

-[Andy] Okay.
-What are we thinkin' about doin' to this?

I say bring it back 100% original.
Paint it a factory color.

Lamborghini original orange.

[Jaime] All right, but we should still
find a way to really make it stand out.

-[Wes] Yep.
-Whatever that is.

I have an idea. There's
an Indian culture in northern Mexico.

Not Chihuahua, the…
the state next to it, Sonora.

They're called Huichol Indians.

-[Jaime] The what?
-[Scooter] Huichol, yeah.

-And are you guys familiar with alebrijes?
-[all] No.

-Have you guys seen Coco, the movie?
-[all] No.

Oh. They're like, uh, spirits,

but it's like a… a dog spirit, a cat,

and, uh… it's very colorful.

Nothin' like this,
'cause this is too colorful.

But I'll show you guys some renderings
on the Internet.

Maybe you can pick a couple.
That could be cool.

It's a Southwest type of thing, also.

[Lucky] That could be pretty cool,
but it has to be super authentic.

[Jaime] All right, so here's the plan.

First, we're gonna unwrap this
and see what's going on with the body.

We have to make sure
the body is factory perfect.

[Lucky] Interior's in great shape,
which will save us a lot of money,

but I'll tell you what, I've gotta take
those ridiculous rhinestones off.

[Andy] Got an idea for an orange color
that can tie in with the Huichol art,

but will keep it really classy.

[Lucky] But I'll tell you somethin'.

Sorry, this [bleep] gotta go.

[laughing] See? You see?

[Andy] That's like a hair bun
is what that is.

[Jaime] We'll unwrap it and go from there.

Wes and I will check out the engine,
see if there's any other issues with it.

All right. Y'all guys check it out,
and we button up the Cadillac.

-You know--
-We got stuff to do too.

-We gotta make phone calls.
-Love it.

-[Wes] Let's see what's under the hood.
-[Jaime] Yeah.

-Or is it called the bonnet?
-[Jaime] Or is that the boot?

[Wes] Oh, the boot.

That is a large engine.

[Wes] Oh, I love it.

[Jaime] Imagine if we have
to pull this thing out.

-Don't even say that.
-Well, I'm just… You know.

-I always put the worst case scenario out.
-I know.

And I know these hands
aren't gonna fit in there.

Hmm. Oh, you're not leaving me alone
on this one.

[Wes] You have to take this car apart
to get that engine out.

[Jaime] Yeah.

This is all money.

I have to give it to Rabbit and Scooter.
They did awesome scoring this Lamborghini.

If we can pull this off,
hitting our goal is definitely possible.

But it is scary.

Every little screw on this thing
is gonna be expensive.

Any big replacements won't just k*ll us
on trying to reach our goal,

but it could cost us
all of our profits from the winter.

Everything on this thing
is gonna be really expensive.

Then you know what?

Get off the spoiler.
I think this thing moves.

-Oh, my bad.
-[both laugh]

[Wes] I can't wait
to pull the wrap off this thing.

-I wanna see what's under here.
-Yeah.

Before you dive into this,
we gotta finish the Cadillac.

[jaunty rock music playing]

[Jaime] Damn, Lucky did a great job
on this interior.

[Wes] You're damn right he did.

["Gozando" by Alex Wilson
& MC Magico playing]

[Jaime] Our Cadillac Fleetwood
had hit a low point in its life.

But we were able to bounce it back
to new heights as a lowrider.

This car is low and slow.

We gave it
a one-of-a-kind candy and lace paint job

and gave the interior
a classic ivory and gold makeover.

And we installed
an all-new two-pump hydraulic setup

with hundred-spoke
gold wire 13-inch wheels,

perfect for flexing at a lowrider meetup.

This car is ready for Lincoln Park,

and I'm feeling pretty good
about selling it for top dollar.

["La Voz" by KikBak

[horn beeps]

[Scooter and man 1 speaking Spanish]

[Scooter] Ay, cabrón!

Should have told me
you were gonna do that.

-Look at all these beauties.
-That's how I like to make an entrance.

[Scooter] Today isn't just
about selling our Fleetwood.

It's about getting respect
from the lowriding community.

It's a huge deal here in El Paso.
We want the buyers to come to us.

-What's goin' on?
-[Scooter] What's up?

[man 2] What's goin' on, brother?

[Rabbit] What's up, man?

Guys, check her out. She's for sale.

So far so good. We're already
getting more attention than last time.

And we don't even have
our secret weapon yet, Dazza.

-[man 3] Hydros?
-[Scooter] Sí, sí.

[all commenting approvingly]

-Hey, guys.
-[Rabbit] What's goin' on, sis?

-I brought my girlfriend, Dazza.
-[Scooter] Hi, Dazza.

-Hola!
-[Scooter] Big fan of yours.

-[Dazza] Thanks.
-Nice to meet you.

Scooter's the one I was telling you about.

-[Scooter] Uh-oh.
-[Dazza] I hear you're a big lowrider fan.

-[Scooter] Oh…
-This is for you. It's my Homie.

-So I'm next to you all the time.
-Ándale.

-[Jaime] She has her own Homie.
-Thank you, Dazza. Thank you.

-A lowrider icon here.
-[Scooter] Oh man.

Dazza flew in from California
to come and check out the car we built.

We've supported each other
as ladies of lowriding

for a couple decades.

What I want is for her
to take pictures in front of the car.

-Let's get some attention on it.
-[Rabbit] Love it.

[Jaime] This is
our '95 Cadillac Fleetwood.

-This is a lot of work.
-[Jaime] Yeah.

-[Dazza] I love this lace here.
-[Jaime] Mm-hmm.

Let's get on this side.

[Jaime] You know she's done more covers
for Lowrider than any other model?

-[Dazza] Flip the switches, girl.
-Yeah, right?

Now that is a lowrider.

Dazza's seen
tens of thousands of these cars.

She's signing off on it
that it's a great build,

especially for our first lowrider.

That's a big deal for us.

-[Jaime] We're still taking pictures?
-[Dazza] Yeah, I'm not leaving.

[Jaime] And by the looks of it,
people love the fact she's here.

-Hey. Long time no see.
-Hey, Kim!

How are you doing?
This is my friend Rabbit.

-[Kim and Rabbit] Nice to meet you.
-[Scooter] I know her.

She's a bar girl
at the Paso Del Norte Hotel.

Artists, musicians, and all kinds
of famous people stayed there.

[Kim] We've been there since 1912.
You should come.

[Scooter] I called her. Her uncle is
in the market for a new lowrider.

He would be interested in this definitely.

He's been looking for an OG Caddy
for a while.

He's gonna love
that paint job and that lace.

[Rabbit] I love it.

I'm gonna go get him.
I'll be right back, okay?

-[speaks Spanish] Thank you.
-I love it.

-Come see us.
-[Kim] See you guys.

-Not bad, dude.
-[Rabbit] I like how this is goin'.

Got a lot of attention on the car.
We've got Dazza here and one on the hook.

[Scooter] What more could we ask for?

-[Rabbit] All in-house.
-Yeah, it's in-house, man.

-Yeah.
-Sí, sí.

[Rabbit] You'd look good in this.

-[Kim] Hey!
-[man] How y'all doin'?

-[Kim] My uncle.
-[Scooter] Rabbit.

-Scooter. Good to meet you.
-What's up?

[Scooter] So you're interested
in a lowrider.

I've been looking for a Cadillac.

-[Scooter] Go ahead.
-Check it out, tío.

-[Rabbit] Check her out.
-Be our guest.

[in Spanish] The rims look very shiny.

-[in English] That's real nice.
-El dorado.

[Rabbit] Check out the lacework.

-Raindrops, stripe work, panel work.
-[Charlie] Very nice.

-That's a lot of detail.
-[Rabbit] A lot of candy.

Custom interior, Luxor wires,
Hoppo hydraulics all the way around.

We've got the best of the lowrider scene
in a '95 Cadillac,

which is the last of
the full-frame big Caddies.

Does it have hydraulics or bags?

-Hydraulics. Bags are for groceries.
-[Charlie] There you go.

-Groceries!
-This is a lowrider.

-Can you lift it?
-[Rabbit] Of course.

[Scooter] Hang on.

There's some nice 'draulics.

So what do you think?

I like it. I've been lookin' for a while.
How much are you guys askin'?

We're askin' 80,000.

-Eighty?
-Yeah.

How about, uh, 60?

-[Rabbit] Can't do that.
-No.

We just finished this car.
It's not even online yet.

-[Scooter] Mm-hmm.
-Seventy.

[Rabbit] You're gettin' warmer.

-Warmer?
-[Scooter] Close.

-Getting close.
-[Rabbit] But…

Um…

[Rabbit] You know what? Hold that thought.

Check out the paint, man. It's…

[Rabbit] Hey, Dazza. Can you do us
a huge favor and just come stand by me?

Just a minute.

-[Charlie] …to do all the details?
-[Scooter] A couple of weeks.

Charlie, Dazza. Dazza, Charlie.

-[Charlie] Nice to meet you.
-Hola.

-The one and only.
-[Rabbit] The one and only.

You know, she's not modelin'
with anybody else's car.

-[Charlie] Is that right?
-She's here hangin' out with Jaime and us.

So you're at 70, I'm at 80.

Let's bump that number up.
Let's do 75, call it a day.

[Dazza] This car is perfect.

I love this color.

Oh my gosh.

This is El Paso's finest.

-All right, man, 75.
-It's done.

-I love it when a deal comes together.
-75.

-[Rabbit] We gotta do paperwork quick.
-Let's do it.

Make sure you sign that check.

-[Jaime] Let's get some drinks tonight.
-You did it.

[Jaime] Today was a great success.

We made $31,000 in profit
on this Fleetline

and almost $16,000 in profit
on the Mercedes sale.

But with the rental
of our new shop truck, trailer,

and the Lambo purchase,
we're back down to around 280,000.

With only four weeks left,

we're just a little more than halfway
to our goal.

But all hope is not lost,

because we still have
the Lamborghini in play.

-Well, we got rid of that one.
-[Rabbit] Another one down.

-[Scooter] Another one. Oh!
-[phone ringing]

Somebody's calling.
Oh, It's Chema. Hang on, guys.

-[in Spanish] Are you there?
-[Chema] Yes, I am here.

What is it, Chema? I put you on speaker.
Here's Jaime and Rabbit with me.

What's up?

Okay.

Hey, I've just been offered
a '68 Suburban.

I'm not interested,
but I don't know if you guys are.

Hold on, I'll tell my colleagues here.

[in English] So Chema's found
a '68 Suburban for us.

That could be a winner.

[in Spanish] Where?

In Ojinaga. The Suburban is in Ojinaga.

Órale, okay.

[in English] That's a couple of hours
away from here.

I mean, it might be worth it
if it's in good shape.

-What do you think?
-Oh yeah.

[in Spanish] Yes, send me the information,
and then I'll talk to them.

-I will send you the information.
-Thanks, Chema.

[in English] Sounds good.
I gotta get back to Dazza.

Looks like you have another lead.

We'll see ya.

[Spanish-language pop music playing]

I think it's in the back, he said.

[Rabbit] I don't know if we wanna go
all the way back there.

I like a… I like quick exits.

Yep, right here's fine.
Let's go check it out.

[groans]

[Scooter chuckles]
Got a good feeling about this.

[Rabbit] Typically,
I don't chew my cabbage twice.

-Mm-hmm.
-But we made good money with the last one.

[Scooter] Yeah, that Suburban
we fixed up last summer? Pretty cool.


of the best barbecue in downtown.

[Rabbit] Make it happen.

A '68 is pretty desirable.

The second gens
always seem to sell better to me.

[Scooter] Oh, there it is, look.

Rrrrrr! Ay-yi-yi!

-[Rabbit] You get way too turned on.
-Ooh!

Man! How you doing?

-He gets so excited about damn Suburbans.
-It's a three-door Suburban.

Only the passenger side had a back door,
so the mom could deal with the kids.

Yes, that's kind of sexist, but, you know,
that's the way they were made.

All my Chihuahuas could fit
back there, man. Look at that.

We did really good on our first Suburban.

This one's a cool truck. It really is.
It could be a great truck.

It needs a lotta work,
so you gotta buy it cheap.

Ah, that old car smell. I love that.

-[in Spanish] Good afternoon.
-Are you Lupe?

-Yes, I am. What do you need?
-Chema recommended you to me.

He told me you had a truck
that you might sell…

[in English] Nice to meet you.

[in Spanish] And we came to see it.

This is Rabbit, and I am Scooter.

Okay.

-How much do you want for it?
-I've had this car for a long time.

It has a lot of sentimental value
if you want it.

-[in English] It has sentimental value.
-I heard that.

It's one of the first,
uh… vehicles she bought.

-The kiss of death, when they say that.
-[Scooter] Yes. Uh-huh!

[speaking Spanish]

-She wants $13,000 for it.
-Oh sh**t. Yeah. Um…

-There's no way.
-That's too much.

Yeah, I'm wantin' to be,
you know, about a quarter of that.

-What's that over there?
-Uh…

[speaking Spanish]

[Lupe speaking Spanish]

She says it's not for sale,
but if we want it…

-Does it run and drive? Got a title?
-[translates]

-[speaking Spanish]
-[in Spanish] Shall we go see it?

[in English] Let's go look at it.

[Rabbit] Oh my God.

-[Scooter] What? What is it?
-[Rabbit] Squarebody, short-bed.

-[Scooter] What year is this?
-[Rabbit] Uh…

'84, '83.

[Lupe speaking Spanish]

[Scooter] She says it belonged to her son.
He left the truck here.

[speaking Spanish]

She says it's just taking up space here,
and she's willing to get rid of it.

This is one of
the hottest-selling trucks right now.

Squarebodies, '73 through '87.

This is a no-brainer.

Squarebodies are where it's at.

Short-bed, no serious rust issues.
This right here is a needle in a haystack.

I'll be honest. This is a way better buy
than the Suburban.

-Ask her if she'd take 1,500 bucks for it.
-Okay.

[speaking Spanish]

-You are interested? You want it?
-Yes.

-You like it?
-Yes.

$2,500 and take it away.

[in English] 2,500 for it. 2,500 bucks.

We'll take it.

[in Spanish] Sold, it's a deal.

Shake hands.

[in English] Thank you.

[in Spanish] Sold.

[both speaking Spanish]

-Okay. [speaks Spanish]
-[in English] Sold.

It's cash, yes.

-[Rabbit] Yes.
-Okay.

[Scooter and Lupe speaking Spanish]

She'll get the title right now, she says.

[Rabbit] There you go. That's for you.

[Scooter and Lupe speaking Spanish]

[Rabbit] Thank you.

The Suburban's cool, but even
if we coulda got it for that price,

that was a lot of work.

[Scooter] I had no idea these '80s trucks
are such a hot commodity right now.

Literally, they had one
run through the sale last week.

Brought over 100 grand.

-Really?
-Yes.

Yeah, okay. Right decision. Again.

I trust you, Rabbit.
You haven't led me astray yet.

Dinero fácil.

Easy money.

-Easy money, sí.
-Dinero fácil.

-There you go!
-I'm learning Spanish.

[Scooter] Yeah, you are! Yes, look at you.

We're going places. Yes, we are.

[Wes] I'm ready
to get this Lamborghini unwrapped.

I wanna see what's underneath.
I know Rabbit got a good deal on this.

It's kinda got me worried.
Hopefully, it's in good shape.

All right, it's red.

Well, at least now we know
the original color was red.

Not only was this thing wrapped in pink,
the pink was on top of a green wrap.

I'm not likin' what I see.

Jaime, you gotta see this.

[sighs heavily]

-Oh…
-[Wes] It's no longer pink, but damaged.

[Jaime] We got a gouge over here.

This is exactly
what we were all afraid of.

Looks like it's been in a fender bender.

Hopefully, it's just the bumper.

And that's already way expensive enough.

-[Wes] What's the deal with the bumper?
-[Jaime] Look at the holes back there!

Looks like somebody
put a license plate on eight times.

But who in their right mind would…

Drill into a Lamborghini?

Drill one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine holes

to put a license plate on?

-That's what I'm saying.
-In a Lamborghini.

[Jaime] I'm concerned.

[Wes] It looks like the paint
is actually separating from the base coat.

-[Jaime] I see that.
-[Wes] From the, uh, primer.

-You know, this is all dollar signs.
-I know.

This is gonna k*ll us on budget.

What I'm worried about
is the paint's not faded.

It's actually comin' loose
from the primer.

So it needs to be stripped entirely, then?

It's gonna have to be sanded
all the way down,

put in a sealer to make sure
the paint job we put on it

is actually gonna adhere to the primer.

I mean, that's completely flakin' off.

This car appears to have lived many lives.

Who knows what color it was before?

Lamborghini would never let this car
out of the factory

without sealin' the paint,

so it had to be an amateur
that painted this.

Between this, the damage to the bumper,

this is really gonna be
a massive hit to our budget.

We gotta disassemble this thing now
to sand it down, to paint it correctly.

You know, we're gonna have to be
super careful takin' everything apart,

you know, the lights out.

Anything we find that keeps breakin'
on this, it's just gonna be more money.

-Showin' its true colors.
-[Jaime] It is.

Literally.

[rock music playing]

-[Scooter] Man, I need to make a pit stop.
-You gotta take a scooter?

I gotta take a scooter, shake the rabbit.

[laughing]

Oh God!

-Ay.
-[Rabbit] Would you look at that?

That's Cisco.

[Scooter] Yeah, man.
The guy who sold us the Mercedes.

[Rabbit] Look at that damn Trans-Am.

-[Scooter] Are we gonna follow him?
-[Rabbit] You're damn right.

[Scooter] Like toilet paper
on a shoe. Ándale.

[Rabbit] Oh yeah. That's a Mexican plate.
We've got competition.

We're up on him. There we go. There we go.

-[Rabbit] I wanna see where he's goin'.
-[Scooter] No, we wanna see where.

-Hmm.
-It's a good-lookin' Trans-Am too.

-[Scooter] Yes, it is.
-I guarantee you it's not his aunt's car.

I think we'll stop that son of a b*tch
and make him lie.

Make him lie to us about it.

-[Scooter] He's turning left.
-[Rabbit] I think he's heading into town.

[Scooter] I wonder if he's picked up
that we're following him.

I hope so.

[dramatic music playing]

[Scooter] Damn,
he's turning into a body shop.

-[Rabbit] Am I paranoid now?
-[Scooter] No, you were right.

We need to find out
if that's the competition.

-What are you gonna do, man?
-I am gonna get out and talk to him.

-What are you gonna do?
-No, I'm getting…

I'm getting out with you too, man.
I got your back.

[Rabbit coughs]

Where'd you get the Trans-Am at?
