Ep 4. Houston

As Supercar Blondie continues her tour of the United States, she arrives in Houston, Texas for the fourth episode of Car Crews With Supercar Blondie season 1. This episode focuses on the city's car scene, which is known for its unique blend of hot rods and lowriders.

In the opening scene, Supercar Blondie meets with local car enthusiast Big Hoss to explore his collection of classic cars. Big Hoss is the owner of a well-known pawn shop in Houston, and his collection includes a 1950 Mercury, a 1959 Ford Galaxie, and a 1969 Camaro. As they tour Big Hoss's collection, Supercar Blondie is particularly impressed with his 1959 Cadillac convertible.

Next, Supercar Blondie joins a group of lowriders for a cruise around Houston's East End. Lowriders are customized vehicles that have been modified to ride low to the ground and often feature hydraulics that allow the car to bounce and hop. The car club, known as the Majestics, is one of the oldest lowrider clubs in Houston and has been around since 1969.

During the cruise, Supercar Blondie gets a taste of Houston's nightlife as they pass by several iconic landmarks, including the Houston downtown skyline and the Buffalo Bayou. She is also introduced to the art of "switching," which is the term used when a lowrider driver bounces their car up and down using the hydraulic system. The Majestics demonstrate the impressive skill and control required to execute this maneuver.

Later in the episode, Supercar Blondie heads over to a local car auction where she meets with owner and auctioneer, Dan Kruse. The auction features a wide variety of cars, from classic Ford Broncos to modern Lamborghinis. As she peruses the auction lots, Supercar Blondie observes the bidding process and learns about the value of rare and collectible cars.

Finally, the episode concludes with Supercar Blondie meeting with Houston-based YouTuber, Alejandro Salomon, who runs the channel Salomondrin. Alejandro is an avid car collector and has an impressive collection of supercars, including a Bugatti Chiron, a Pagani Huayra, and a Porsche 918 Spyder. Supercar Blondie and Alejandro discuss the challenges of owning and maintaining such rare and expensive cars, and Alejandro shares some insider tips about the luxury car market.

Overall, the Houston episode of Car Crews With Supercar Blondie season 1 is a thrilling exploration of the city's car culture. From classic cars and lowriders to high-end supercars, there is something for everyone in Houston's car scene.
