Tex Mex Motors returned with its second season on November 22, 2024, showcasing the team’s expertise in transforming classic cars into profitable builds. Episode 7, titled Lowrider Showrider, focused on the team’s first custom lowrider project, a Cadillac designed to make a statement at the Lincoln Park lowrider show.

To boost its appeal and attract potential buyers, Jaime suggested involving Dazza, a well-known figure in the lowrider industry, to present the car at the event.

"Dazza is the lowrider model who's been on most of the covers of Lowrider Magazine. She’s iconic in the lowrider industry," Jaime explained.

This marked a strategic move to ensure the Cadillac stood out in a competitive market. The episode also explored the team’s efforts to secure a Lamborghini Diablo and negotiate the sale of a restored Mercedes 300D. These parallel projects highlighted the challenges and teamwork involved in meeting their financial goals for this season of Tex Mex Motors.

Jaime and Dazza go way back, and she mentioned that they have been friends for 25 years. They have worked together and have been involved with the Lowrider Magazine. Scooter said,

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

Her involvement was intended to draw more attention to the Cadillac, using her reputation and connections within the low-rider industry. Dazza agreed to participate and traveled from California to help showcase the car at the event.

Her presence added credibility to the team’s efforts, ensuring the Cadillac would stand out. At the Lincoln Show, the Cadillac attracted significant attention, and a potential buyer showed interest. After negotiations, the team successfully sold the car for $75,000, marking a key achievement for their first sale into the lowrider market.


Other highlights from episode 7 of Tex Mex Motors

While the Cadillac project took center stage, the team also worked on other important tasks. Rabbit and Scooter focused on selling a restored 1975 Mercedes 300D. They negotiated with David, a buyer looking for a safe and reliable car for his teenage daughter.

Initially asking for $40,000, Rabbit settled on a final price of $35,000 after negotiations, securing a $16,000 profit for the team. Meanwhile, Rabbit and Scooter pursued a lead on a Lamborghini Diablo in El Paso.

They negotiated with sellers Linda and Juan and purchased the car for $43,000. The team planned to restore it to its original factory color, but an inspection revealed damage beneath the paint, indicating a past fender bender.

This discovery hinted at additional challenges for the team, setting up potential storylines for upcoming episodes of Tex Mex Motors. The episode concluded with the team celebrating their successful sale of the Cadillac and preparing for the restoration of the Lamborghini.
