Driving Wild

Mexican Lowriders (1x2)

Air date: Jun 13, 2016

In the 1950s, Californians began adapting cars to drive just inches off the ground. The aim? To look cool, of course. Now, it’s a scene loved by millions across the U.S. and Latin America. Elvis is in Mexicali with the guys of the Aztlan Car Club, bringing his F1 skills to hopping, a sub-genre of lowriding in which cars “hop” on their rear axle. One of Los Angeles’s top teams is in town, and to see whose car can go highest they’ve challenged the Aztlan Car Club to a hop-off. Elvis has one week to turn an ordinary car into a hopper, and beat the Americans at their own game.
