Tex Mex Motors (2023) s01e08 Episode Script

[drill whirs]
[engine revs]
[electronic music plays]
[Rabbit] So you're telling me
you want to pay $60,000
for this car in NFTs?
-NFTs?
-It's the money of the future.
Yeah, but we're in the present.
That's the problem.
And I know that's a great business,
and it's done you well.
Apparently, if you're
buying things like this.
But that's the business you're in.
We build hot rods and sell them.
So I need 60,000 in my hand today
that will still be 60,000 tomorrow.
We've dumped a ton of money in this car.
-A lot of money.
-We have not only just parts.
How about the countless hours
just to find it?
We only have a few weeks left of summer
to hit our $250,000 goal,
and we need cold hard cash.
I could be giving you $60,000 today
that might be $80,000 or 120 grand.
It might be nothing tomorrow too.
I'll be honest. There's a reason
this shop's not in Vegas.
We don't gamble.
And it's a gamble, and I'm selling you
a product that's ready to rock.
I need… something I could put my hands on.
Well…
I mean, I could…
I have 40 grand right now
on hand, easily and readily.
And I could make some moves happen,
probably get you, uh, 20 grand in cash
after I make those sales.
So that'd be 60 in cash.
I'll do it, but I want to put
a big logo on the side.
-What do you want on the side of it?
-Yeah, what?
It's a green car.
-I want it to say "Money Shaker."
-[Scooter] Money Shaker?
Turn them out like, "What? What?" ♪
Turn the crowd like, "What? What?" ♪
Make them bounce like, "What? What?" ♪
Put your hand out there.
-You just bought you a drag car, bud.
-Sounds good. Appreciate it, guys.
[Rabbit] We made $28,200 off this Rambler,
bringing our total profit to $210,900.
However, parts for the Porsche are going
to be at least 60 grand,
plus the money we owe Mike's buddies
for cleaning it up.
So we're gonna need to make some
serious money, well over $100k.
And we only have 16 days
to get it sold at the auction.
We've been through hell with the Rambler.
We should've made a movie about that.
The whole ordeal, right?
-I wouldn't watch it.
span style="style2"-I would span style="style2"en español.
[laughs]
[Rabbit] In Spanish,
know what it'd be called?
-span style="style1"[Scooter] El Ramblero.
span style="style1"-[Rabbit] No Bueno.
[Scooter] span style="style2"No Bueno Ramblero.
-Right? [laughs]
-Yeah, that's it.
All right!
Let's go do a little paperwork.
Let these guys get this thing finished up.
-[Damian] All right. Sounds good.
-[Rabbit] Follow me, bud.
[theme music plays]
[engine revs]
[Mike] With Damian, the Rambler buyer,
out of the country for a few weeks,
we have to test drive this car
before we sign off on it.
I'm a mover, mover ♪
I'm a shaker, shaker ♪
[Mike] It can't just look great.
It also has to perform.
And we found the absolute perfect place
to leave some rubber on the road.
[rock music plays]
We transformed the outside with
a show-stopping metal-green paint job.
We gave it new racing suspension
to support the giant drag tires
and keep the power on the ground.
Added a protective roll cage
to stiffen the chassis,
took out the Austin Powers interior,
and made it 700 pounds lighter for racing,
and powered it with an 800-horsepower
custom-built Chevy race engine
with a 671 blower.
But we also bottle-fed her
with a shot of nitrous,
which tops out this big green mean machine
with an obscene 1,200 horsepower.
Like they say, "Get gas or be last."
This Rambler isn't
your grandma's grocery grabber anymore.
This is a straight-up race car.
10.2 in the quarter mile. Pfft.
Not bad for a street car.
[mellow rock music plays]
You ready to tear into this, dude?
-Always ready.
-Are you nervous?
Never.
I'm nervous.
You know how uncomfortable that thing is
pulling it in?
You see his seat?
-[Jaime] No!
-[Mike] Uncomfortable.
I was like, "Why does this thing
hurt so bad to pull in?"
[laughing]
We're turning this race car
into a street car.
And now that we've got the Rambler sold,
we can finally focus
on our last car of the summer.
And our final push
to hit our $250,000 goal.
I know we can do it because this
is a team that I really believe in.
But we only have
two weeks before the auction.
There's a ton of stickers on this.
You know stickers add,
what, five horsepower?
I already got three stickers off already.
This is a satisfying TikTok moment.
[dance music plays]
Dang it. [laughs]
-[Mike] What you think, Jaime?
-These are some old-style lights here.
I'm excited to pull the engine on this
to see what's going on there.
It's been a heck of a grind this summer.
I'm sore, I'm sleep-deprived,
and I'm on the fence
whether I'm gonna stay at the shop.
Like every car so far,
it's gonna be a ton of work.
But it's rare I get to dive
into a Porsche, so I'm really excited.
I'm so nervous.
These windows are, like, expensive.
Everything on this car is expensive.
Careful. That bumper is probably worth
as much as Rabbit's Rolex.
[laughing]
-Let's take out the gas tank.
-[Wes] Take the lines loose.
-It can't be too heavy.
-Watch out.
Good job, guys.
-[Mike] Look at that.
-[Jenicio] This ain't even heavy.
[Wes] Now that we have
a lot of it tore down,
I'm gonna get a Sawzall and at least
cut this in a couple sections
just to get it out of our way.
-Don't need a roll cage for a street car.
-[Jaime] It depends on who's driving.
[laughing]
[Wes] There's one down.
We're gonna remove
everything from the rear hoop forward.
The front down bars, door bars.
It'll make it super easy
getting in and out of this thing
for somebody my size.
-[Jaime] You did it.
-[Wes] Done!
Cut like butter.
[Nacho groaning]
[Mike] Nacho, come here.
[upbeat music plays]
[Rabbit] I find it funny that we can't
do anything unless it involves food.
You always drag me to a restaurant.
We can't go visit somebody in an office?
They invented those so you don't have
to have a meal to do something.
Wanna work in an office
or in this great environment?
I don't want to buy your lunch.
That's what I wanna do.
[slurps]
-[man] Hey, Scooter.
-Hey, Arthur!
-What's up?
-Arthur.
[Scooter] I brought Rabbit here
to meet my good friend Arthur
who works at a TV station
so we can get a good deal on the TV spot.
[Rabbit] You can't just surprise pop up
an auction and expect a killer crowd.
So we set the last day of summer
as the date in stone,
which is now less than 12 days away.
[Scooter] This guy's a good guy.
He'll help us.
We went to college together.
We used to make movies.
-[Rabbit] What kind of movies?
-Tell him.
It was a lot of DIY stuff.
"Horror" movies.
I played a lot of monsters. Grr.
So I don't know what Scooter's told you.
We're having an auction
for a really high-end car.
[Arthur] Okay.
And we're looking for a commercial
to promote this auction.
What's it gonna cost
to get a time slot like this?
It depends what kind
of audience you're looking for.
It's cheaper the earlier you go.
Wanna do prime time? It's gonna be more.
You're looking probably
between eight and ten thousand.
What? Dollars or pesos?
Yeah, you wish it was pesos.
We don't have
that kind of budget for this.
I mean, I've got a number in my head,
and it's nowhere close
to eight to ten grand.
There's not a budget for things like this.
Yeah, this is not gonna fly.
But I'm a salesman. He's a salesman.
I think there's a way to level
with each other and work something out.
Now, this situation reminds me a lot
of my first wedding.
The caterer come to me
and says, "To have chicken,
it's gonna be
eight to ten dollars a head."
-[Scooter whistles]
-I got a lot of family. They eat a lot.
My saying to him was,
"Can we throw some more
beaks and claws in there?"
So can you throw some more
beaks and claws? Help us out.
Um, all right, well, let me see.
Um…
It's also good for you. If this picks up,
if we sell more cars, more money for you.
-[Rabbit] It's more business.
-So you've got more cars coming.
-Yes.
-Yes.
-What will three grand get?
-[Scooter] Come on.
Three grand. Give us a shot.
-I think I can swing three.
-Three? Thank you.
You're not gonna be on
during must-see TV or anything,
but at the beginning
or at the end of must-see TV.
I love it. Arthur, thank you, sir.
And for anything Scooter has done
in the past, I apologize.
-That's okay.
-And in the future.
[laughing]
[Rabbit] Scooter and I
have put fliers everywhere,
and we've contacted
every car collector we know.
But this commercial could be
what really pushes us over the edge.
So now that we got our airtime,
what's the budget for my commercial?
Zero.
What? Zero?
Zero. We spent it all on airtime.
All I heard about is community college.
"We make all kinds of movies."
A commercial will be a walk in the park
for a trained professional like yourself.
Time to call in more favors, man, I guess.
Thank you, Arthur. Cheers.
-TV time, boys.
-Yes, TV time. Ooh, hoo, hoo!
[rock music plays]
[Mike] We can put it here, and then…
-[Wes] Check our bumper?
-And then check our bumper.
-[Wes] I love the boots and shorts.
-[Mike] Yeah.
-[Wes] Don't stub your toe.
-[Mike] It's Texas.
[Wes laughs] Yeah.
[drill whirs]
[Wes] We're mocking up
this body kit for the Porsche.
This is gonna allow us to run a lot
bigger tires on the back and the front.
This'll help grip the road
for better performance,
handling, and drivability.
People love a mean
widebody look on these sports cars.
All of this is gonna help set it apart
and, hopefully, get us
more money at the auction.
Once everything's fitted good, I'll start
cutting them in and welding them up.
Let's see how our bumper fits.
[Mike] Ugh.
No bueno span style="style1"over here.
I think maybe our fenders
need to go forward some.
-You wanna redo it?
-Yeah, let's move it forward a little.
[Mike] Hey, guys, you want to come
help hold the bumper?
[Wes] This being
a super high-end Porsche,
this body kit really needs
to fit perfectly.
It's my job as a fabricator to make sure
that when I put this on there,
it looks original, and you won't
be able to tell it was actually modified.
-[Jaime] Is that centered?
-[Wes] Yeah. Y'all get the bumper up.
Kind of push back.
How's it look from back there?
Looks like it needs to go that way.
[Jaime] Mm-hmm.
-[Mike] It sticks out a little bit.
-[Wes] Yeah.
Mmm…
All right, let me check this side.
-Is it lined up now?
-[Jaime] Nope.
[Mike] Looks like I'm overhanging
about half an inch.
[Wes] Damn.
-Let's just take it back out.
-[sighs]
-[Wes] We're gonna need a replacement.
-Yeah.
[Wes] This'll set us back.
[Mike] This isn't good.
The bumper's not sitting straight
because of a warp on the right side.
Luckily, it's covered under warranty,
because it's defective.
The bad news is it's gonna be
a two to three-day wait
before we can get the new bumper.
And we need that piece
to line up everything else.
So we're gonna have to try
to make up time on the back end.
The auction is 11 days away,
so it's gonna be a photo finish.
You know…
[Jaime] I thought we were home free
as soon as we started it.
-And now we got this, so…
-Yeah.
[Mike groans]
[in Spanish] Are you sure?
Okay, but are you really sure?
Okay.
Sounds good, thank you very much. Bye.
[giggles] Whoo!
[in English] You got a date?
What's going on?
We got a date.
-We got a…
-We got a date, yes.
But not with each other.
-With a Ferrari Daytona.
-What?
-Ferrari Daytona.
-Where's this Ferrari Daytona?
Chihuahua City.
There's this rich retired guy.
He's got a garage full of classics,
and he's got a Ferrari Daytona
that he wants to part ways with
for 120 grand.
-A real Ferrari?
-That's what I was asking him.
If it was at the bottom of the lake,
it's worth 300,000.
-Exactly, that's what I'm telling you.
-Fully restored versions…
They're worth a lot of money.
We're getting seven-figure car.
Things may be up in the air in the shop,
but that doesn't mean
we are done chasing down leads.
A Ferrari Daytona is one of the most
famous sports cars from the '70s.
No joke, I've seen these things
at auction fetch three million dollars.
This is easily the biggest find
that Scooter's ever came in with,
as long as it's not too good to be true.
Chihuahua City is 230 miles
inside of Mexico.
That's a four-and-a-half-hour drive, easy.
And the thoughts of being
in the truck with Scooter that long,
and a bad lead, just gives me
anxiety thinking about it.
We need to keep this between us.
The guys need to focus on the Porsche.
It's not feasible to even go look at this.
We don't have anywhere close
to 120 grand to spend for another build.
But if we knock a home run on this Porsche
and that crazy commercial works…
I still can't believe you're doubtful.
It's gonna work.
It's gotta work because we need buyers
with deep pockets
that can actually afford
a car of this caliber.
Now that the word is out
on that auction date,
you focus on that commercial.
I'll focus on organizing the auction.
-All right?
-[Scooter] Yes.
-Make it happen, Captain.
-Making it happen, sir. Making it happen.
Hoo.
[slow rock music plays]
[Wes] There you go. Pretty cool.
Our replacement bumper finally came in.
And good thing is it fits like a glove.
So now I can get my measurements
to get this front body kit installed.
All right, now that I have the panel
marked and removed,
we're gonna cut out
all this original fender.
I normally don't get nervous
when I cut things,
but if I bomb this, we're not gonna
have time to fix it before the auction.
And a duct-taped together Porsche
is not likely to sell for top dollar.
[funky music plays]
[Rabbit] Come on, guys. Come over here.
We got to talk about something.
Now, I pulled you in for a reason.
We got to have a name for this shop.
We got the commercial coming up.
We've got to give them a place to go to.
Let's everybody spit out an idea.
Whatever you want.
Nacho's Garage.
-[Jaime] Oh my gosh, no.
-[Scooter laughs]
Got you, noted.
-Scooter, give me one.
-The Rabbit Hole.
-You're an idiot.
-[laughs] You're an idiot.
That's my name, and it weirds me out.
[Jaime] I know things
are up in the air, but…
I think the name should
reflect us as a group, as a team,
and our experience here
and what we're doing.
That's the important part
about a shop name.
And I agree with sis on that one.
I mean, you have to think about it.
This is formed together.
How about Borderline Customs, guys?
[Wes] That ain't bad. Borderline Customs?
[Rabbit] I like it.
-Yeah.
-Sounds good.
-Yeah, it does.
-I don't hate it, but…
It's got a good ring to it.
We're building all kinds of cars.
We're customizing cars.
-And we are in a border town.
-[Rabbit] That's the thing.
Everything we do is custom,
and we deal with customs on the reg, so…
-Yeah, you do.
-Yeah.
I could see that in some
Wild West letters on the sign
or something kind of cool. Yeah?
Not as great as Nacho's Garage,
but Borderline Customs will work.
-I love it.
-Yeah.
That's a damn win.
Everybody's in agreeance.
This has never happened before.
[Rabbit] Well, we got
a shop name picked out.
We still got a lot
of unknowns with this place.
So there's no sense
in celebrating just yet.
The auction's only seven days away,
and there's no guarantee
if we'll make enough profit
on this Porsche to hit our goal.
But, hey, at least the garage
has a name for our commercial.
It's hot, and we got to get back to work.
Everybody in agreeance?
Three, two, one. Borderline Customs.
-[Jenicio] Let's do it.
-[Mike] Let's get back to the Porsche.
[Rabbit] And we'll go
shoot this commercial.
[rock music plays]
[Wes] This was a race car,
so we're gonna change the suspension up
and give it a more comfortable ride.
Originally, this thing had torsion bars
and that's what gave
your suspension spring.
We're doing away with that
and going in with a coilover shock,
which is actually a shock
with a coil spring on it.
There's a lot more adjustability.
You can tune the suspension,
get the ride and feel you want
and get the power to the ground.
-We're gonna have to grind that more.
-[Jaime] Yeah.
So since we're going with coilovers,
we need to stiffen the structure up.
With the engine in the back, there's
a lot of weight and force going on.
So these are gonna tie them both together
and tie everything to the body
so when all that weight's on there,
there's no flex in the body.
-[Jaime] That takes a lot of elbow grease.
-[Mike] Yes, it does.
[Wes] This thing's
gonna drive like a dream.
It's really gonna hug the road.
I barely fit in here.
[laughs]
[percussion music plays]
All right, Rabbit.
With a lot of emotion, man,
look into that camera and sell that car.
-Diego, you have the shot?
-I got the shot.
-[Scooter] You got the shot? Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Diego's a college student I was connected
with through my alumni association.
-It was an online college or something?
-No, we didn't have internet back then.
But anyways, he's gonna get extra credit
and edit it for us for free.
You know what? I can't argue with free.
A ver. span style="style1"Let me go check it out.
span style="style1"I'm the director. I do what I want.
He's like the Spanish Spielberg.
-Hey, don't swing your arms.
-I'm gonna swing something here.
Do you want to sell the Porsche or not?
Come on now.
All right, action!
Come on down.
We're having the auction of all auctions.
Add feeling to it.
Come on, you can do this.
This event is gonna be fire!
Feel the fire!
-Do it again?
-You looked to the side. Why?
-I'm looking straight at the camera.
-No. I saw.
-I'm looking down the pipe.
-Which pipe?
[Rabbit] The directing
might have gone to his head.
You might win an Oscar.
I might win an Oscar for it.
Is there Oscars for commercials?
I don't care if we have to do
a thousand takes, okay?
I do.
-Give me that back. I got an idea.
-Action!
We've built a car,
and we have knocked it out of the park.
That works. Here, let me count you down.
Three, two, one, action!
Drive on down.
Grab your boots and get your loot.
Bring your wife. Bring your honey.
Bring your money and bid high.
-Are we done with this?
-Yeah, kind of.
-You know what? We need to do it again.
-Why?
We're not supposed to use green on green…
-[Scooter groans]
-Sorry.
One more time.
You're killing me.
That's right, kids, Porsche 911.
This Saturday. It's gonna be fire!
Gold! Whoo-hoo-hoo! We good!
¡Bellissimo!
[Scooter laughs] Good job, Rabbit.
Now count down ♪
You can make a million
If you're gonna do it, yeah ♪
You got a feeling
If you're gonna do it ♪
Said you'd make a millon
Now you gotta back it up ♪
Hey ♪
[Mike] Everything is riding on this car,
so I have to make sure it has mass appeal.
I'm a huge Porsche fan, so I know
when it comes to painting a Porsche,
you wanna stick to original Porsche colors
to appeal to all the other enthusiasts.
So, I went with a historic color
called Athena blue,
which dates all the way back to the 356,
which is one of the first cars
Porsche ever put out.
It is a sick color and I think it's going
to lend itself to a lot of buyers,
which is vital because we got to get
over six figures on this Porsche.
There's a lot at stake.
Count down ♪
And make a million
If you're gonna do it ♪
You got a feeling
If you're gonna do it ♪
All steel and sex appeal.
[mellow rock music plays]
[grunts]
[Jaime] The auction is three days away,
and we are cutting this so close.
The bodywork is done, and it's painted.
But we still have to do new coilovers
and finish up the suspension,
along with the cosmetic
and the finishing touches.
And on top of that,
I have a very important life decision
I have to make,
whether or not
I'm gonna stay on this team.
And that's really weighing on me.
Guys? Get over here!
Our commercial is about to air. Come on!
Have a seat so we can look at it. Mikey!
¡Ándale, güey!
[Jaime] This better be good.
-Okay.
-[Mike] What do we got?
-This makes me nervous.
-Brace yourselves, guys.
[Scooter] Check it out.
Come on down this Saturday
to Borderline Customs,
where I put together the best team
of builders from all around the country
that's built all these gorgeous cars.
But this one takes the cake.
That's right, kids, Porsche 911.
You've seen what we're capable of,
now see how we've made this Porsche
unmistakable but not unobtainable.
You bring your honey,
you bring your money,
and you get yourself a piece
of this Panamericana history.
Call this number below.
I'm telling you it would be criminal
not to get down here this Saturday.
It's gonna be fire!
Whoa.
-Yeah, nice.
-[Mike] That's pretty good.
Good job, partner. What do you guys think?
-It's pretty good.
-That was a good one.
-The camera does add ten pounds.
-Too bad it don't add hair.
Who came up with these lines?
[Jaime laughs]
Yours truly. Is it cheesy? Yes.
-Is it corny? Yes.
-A little.
Is it informative? Yes.
Does it get your attention?
I was gonna say.
It will get people's attention.
-[Rabbit] Does it show off the product?
-Yes!
That's the name of the game.
Get people down here. Get asses in seats.
-Reel them in.
-[Mike] We still have a car to finish.
But great job on the commercial.
Might have y'all do another one.
-Part two!
-[Mike] Yeah, we'll see.
-I'm telling you.
-[Jaime] Yep.
[rock music plays]
-[Mike] That's a whole lot of tire.
-[Wes] Yeah.
[Mike] It's a whole lot of car.
[Wes] Turning cars around quickly
is always a challenge,
and this one is no exception.
But it's getting easier with the way
the team's been coming together.
If the Porsche is successful,
I really hope Jaime decides to stay.
It'd be a shame to break this up
after we've come so far as a group.
Right to the top ♪
And we never stop ♪
[calm guitar music plays]
[vehicle approaching]
[hip-hop music plays]
[thunder rumbles]
[Mike] It's the morning of the auction,
and all that's left
is taking our Porsche 911 SC
for a final test drive
to see what it can do.
I'm turning it up, feeling it out ♪
Turn it around ♪
I'm ready to shine
Pace up and down, letting it out ♪
I'm turning it up ♪
[Mike] This is
our most expensive build to date,
and the pressure was on to get it right.
But I've never seen the team so passionate
about their detail and precision,
which has to be flawless if you want
to play in the high-end arena.
We added a wide body kit
to give it an intimidating stance
and better aerodynamics to hit top speed.
We gave it a smooth ride by updating
the suspension with adjustable coilovers.
Painted it a stunning Athena blue
as a tribute to the Porsche lineage.
Installed a whole new interior
and dash and added three-piece,
custom-made wheels
to make those tight turns.
[tires squeal]
One at a time, it's down and up ♪
[Mike] I consider all the vehicles
that we restore works of art.
But this Porsche, it's our showpiece,
and she's ready to take
center stage at our auction.
We need her to clear $110,000 today,
or this Porsche is gonna be
our team's final curtain call.
Turning it up ♪
-[mellow rock music plays]
-[engine revs]
[Scooter] Whoo-hoo!
[Rabbit] I'm usually
cooler than a cucumber during a sale.
But the future of our crew
rests on this Porsche sale.
So we got a little pressure
going on right now.
[Mike] Hey, where is everyone?
It's supposed to start in 30 minutes.
[Jaime] I don't know.
[Rabbit] Being able to work a crowd's
always been in my blood,
and I'm confident I can get us
to our number.
I just need a crowd.
I've been getting all kinds of calls
since this commercial came out,
and we have fliered
the hell out of this town.
But that's still no guarantee
that people will show up.
And just like that,
they're starting to trickle in.
[Scooter] Thank you for being here.
Thank you for coming out, bud.
[Wes] Y'all come look at this.
-[Scooter] You like?
-[woman] I just love it.
-Good turnout from the commercial, huh?
-Yes, sir.
I didn't think this commercial thing
was gonna work, but…
-I'm telling you.
-You know what? I'm wrong.
Beautiful.
[Scooter] Come on in.
Just like Thelma and Louise.
-Whoo-hoo!
-[laughing]
[Rabbit] This has been a sweetheart car.
It's a classic.
…reclining seats.
-The door panels, interior, all custom.
-The wheels are three-piece for this car.
[Mike] When you're doing a color,
the outside needs to stay true.
-I like it. I like it.
-Yeah. [chuckles]
-Think you're gonna take it home today?
-I want to take it home.
Everybody, take your seats.
Let's get this auction out of the way.
First, let's get
a few legalities out of the way.
This is the 1980 Porsche 911 SC
you're bidding on today.
It is sold as is, where is.
She's got a clean and clear title,
and she is ready to go.
And just think how she's gonna look
in your driveway.
Remember this, you got to pay to play.
To play, you got to bid.
All right, guys,
bidding starts at 70 grand.
A number that would have Ferdinand Porsche
himself turning in his grave.
[laughing]
Who's gonna start
the bidding off on this Porsche?
Anybody, come on.
Don't think long, it's hot.
Yes, sir?
-Seventy.
-[Rabbit] Seventy thousand.
You gonna make me work
for my money today. Who's got 75,000?
Seventy-five with them green glasses.
Who's got 80?
-80,000.
-[Rabbit] 80,000 right here in the front.
[man] Eighty-five.
[Rabbit] Guy in the hat says,
"You ain't taking this car."
We got 85.
You want to hit it one more time?
Why y'all wanna get quite all of a sudden?
Who's got 90,000?
It's only money.
You can't take it with you.
[tense music playing]
She's a beaut, guys. I tell you what.
This car raced in The Panamericana Race.
It's got that racing lineage.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime car.
What kind of money do you want to put
on this beautiful piece of machinery?
All right, come on.
Who's got 90?
Ninety on this sweet blue Porsche 911?
Eighty-five going once.
Eighty-five going twice.
-Ninety thousand, the cowboy hat.
-[man 2] Ninety-five.
Ninety-five thousand.
-[man 3] One hundred thousand.
-[Rabbit] $100,000.
-105.
-A hundred and five thousand.
I didn't ask, and you gave it to me.
Now you came in right behind him. You out?
Who's got 110?
110 to beat it.
Yes, sir?
110.
A hundred and ten thousand.
The silver fox himself.
You seen them boots?
That man ain't playing.
I feel like I need a cool drink and a nap.
-One hundred and ten thousand dollars.
-[woman] 115.
115. It's gonna take 120 to get it, kids.
-[woman 2] 120.
-120 back in the back.
-Yes, ma'am.
-125.
-125 to you.
-130.
[Rabbit] Man, I wish I had
three of these things.
Damn, this is wild.
I was hoping to get 110.
Let's keep this going.
[Rabbit] Man in the back.
-145 in the back.
-150.
[Rabbit] One hundred and fifty thousand.
One-fifty-five to take it.
Going once.
Going twice.
-What you got, sir?
-160.
[Rabbit] One hundred and sixty thousand.
-[all exclaim]
-[Rabbit] That's my new best friend.
One-sixty going once.
One-sixty going twice.
No, sir.
You bought it, sir.
-Congratulations, $160,000.
-[Scooter] Whoo-hoo!
[Scooter cheers]
[man] I'm just blown away.
I didn't know that much about the car,
other than it had some history.
And what I really like was this was once
a race car with Panamericana.
I have raced The Panamericana three times.
The first time I rolled down a cliff,
bounced off the top of a house.
So I was in the market for a car
that had that kind of history,
but I could drive it
on a day to day on the street.
-[Mike] You got it. Congratulations.
-Thanks.
So I can come drive it whenever I want?
-[man] Whenever you want.
-[Mike] All right.
I had a number in my head, probably 150.
But the bidding
got a little aggressive there.
That even made me want it more.
And I threw up that 160
just to see if I could calm the crowd
and keep them quiet,
and thankfully it did.
-Good job, Rabbit.
-I could kiss you, but no.
-Please don't.
-[Scooter laughs] No.
Your commercial worked.
-Digging it.
-[Scooter] Lobster for everybody!
One-sixty is absolutely amazing.
-Hey!
-[Scooter laughs]
If my numbers are right…
We surpassed and made our goal.
And that's how it's done, kids.
Over 300 grand in pure profit.
I want to thank everybody for coming out.
Have a safe trip home.
[cheering]
[Mike] Thank you, guys!
All right, guys, as y'all know,
we were shooting for 250 grand,
and we hit $300,000.
-Yeah.
-Yes.
-[Jenicio] Hell yeah.
-Three hundred.
-span style="style2"Chinga. Cheers.
-[Rabbit] I'm drinking some of that.
I know that, Jaime,
you were kind of on the fence.
But I believe that might have changed?
So I think it got discouraging
for a while.
But, you know, I think especially
with the extra money we made
we're able to bring
in other workers to help us
so we can get sleep at night. I think…
-I'm all-in.
-Yeah?
[Jaime] Definitely. 100%.
[Scooter] How do you say it, Rabbit?
A little greenery changes the scenery.
-[Mike] And you're exactly right.
-[Rabbit] You're learning.
[Scooter] We've been
doing this for a while,
but I knew we could make more money
if we join forces with the right team.
These guys at the shop are awesome.
It's good the team's sticking together,
'cause we couldn't have done it
with anybody else.
It's a good feeling, man.
-[Scooter] Cheers.
-[Mike] I'm gonna need another beer here.
-Yeah.
-I'm keeping mine.
I could not be more proud of this team
and what we've accomplished.
[engine revs]
We sourced, transported,
restored, and most importantly,
sold 12 cars in four months,
making $310,900 in profit.
It wasn't easy, but we overcame a lot
and created some beautiful works of art.
That is truly remarkable and a testament
to every member of this team.
Well, I guess we got
some new business to talk about.
So Scooter found a lead on a Ferrari 365.
-[Jenicio] What? A Ferrari?
-[Scooter] Ferrari 365?
Four and a half hours away from here.
Chihuahua City. Look.
Oh, convertible?
-That would be a huge hit.
-[Scooter] For that car, I would walk.
-[Rabbit] So we can buy it…
-[Scooter] Yes.
But that's gonna put us
going way into Mexico
with a lot of cash
on a car we don't know a lot about.
-How much is the car?
-120,000.
That's not bad.
-Unless it's a total basket case.
-[Jaime] Is that good?
That's cheap for that car,
but it's a lot for us, guys.
Um, so that's the thing,
we can take that Porsche money
and we can divvy it out,
or we can roll it back in
and have a bigger lick.
So what do you want to do?
[Western music plays]
[eagle screeches]
[Scooter] Whoo! Let's go get a Ferrari!
Scooter, we're out
in the middle of damn nowhere.
Yes, don't you love the desert?
Beautiful, huh?
[Rabbit] How could anybody love this?
This is literally my definition of hell.
It's just sand and nothing.
Sand and cacti
and look at all the prickly pears.
-Enjoy the sun, Rabbit. Enjoy the sun.
-[Rabbit] Yeah.
[Scooter] Four more hours, Rabbit.
Don't worry, man.
I know these roads
like the palm of my hand.
[Rabbit] Yeah,
that's what's got me concerned.
[laughing]
[Scooter] Whoo-hoo-hoo!
