Tex Mex Motors

I started watching the series, my husband watches other car shows, however, those cars are made for specific people so there is no need to try and sell. After watching the episode of the Dr., where the price of the bronco went up, didn't set well with me! He is a true car sales person, need I say more? I lost interest in the show because of this, along with his side kick who was too goofy. I do however enjoy the others in the shop and loved how the cars were restored. It amazed me to see this. I really enjoy the woman who knows her stuff. As a woman pastor, my hat goes off to her because her skill has been recognized!

This show could use a little more time showing the automotive work but I do like the time spent on the hunt and purchase side. Most of these builds could be stretched out into two episodes each instead of cramming it all into one episode per build. Scooter and Rabbit are a bit energetic and enthusiastic but they grow on you quickly and are actually entertaining. Overall they have a good crew. Everyone seems likable even Rabbit and Scooter. It's like a spin-off of Car Masters Rust to Riches (Gotham Garage). If you like Car Masters or Rust valley Restorers you will probably enjoy watching Tex Mex Motors. I've already started watching it a second time.

I've watched other very obviously fake car shows on Netflix, but none so obviously fake as this. It's a shame as the show doesn't need the silly dramatisations.

People watched pimp my ride to see the car transform (as ridiculous and often dangerous and pointless as those transformations were). I don't know why these shows can't do the same format as pimp my ride but with the actual talent that these people obviously have.

The transformations look great, and though I know nothing about cars the general consensus seems to be that these guys actually know what they're doing. Such a shame they aren't just showcasing that talent in a real way without the bad acting and dumb setups.

I was enjoying this show, but something didn't seem right. Then the fourth episode they kept calling a white Z28 camaro an "IROC". Not all Z28s were given the label IROC. At the end when you see the before/after shots, pay attention to the rear bumper where the Z28 and IROC symbols are. Those symbols are not interchangeable witjout changing the bumper. Either they replaced the hood, front and rear bumpers with Z28 parts, or it is a different car. And as someone who has had a few IROCs, I put my money on the ending car being a different car. I'm not saying they couldn't have changes the parts, but if that's the case, he kept calling it an IROC BEFORE the parts swap when it wasn't one.

Most of the stuff you see on screen is not authentic, mosf ot the cars they say they buy in Juarez are not actually bought from the people on screen nor they are in Juarez when they are filming.

The whole "being pulled over" by the "Federales" is super staged and scripted, the agents aren't even Mexican and Federales do not use those models of trucks nor they take your papers and come back... they will either take them and not come back or something else will happen but trust me they will not be chicano spanglish speaking agents... not authentic.. at all.

Like I mentioned before, the locations are not Juarez, Mexico other than a few shots on the street or the actual bridge. This could have been a great show but they just scripted it all the way ...
