Well, I liked the TexMex Show and I hope there will be a continuation. I always enjoyed custom Car Shows like this one. Carmasters, Rustvalley restorers, Drive hard, the Maloof way etc.
I love this show. It was definitely campy at times but the whole concept puts it ahead of other car shows. Everyone loves a restoration of something that someone forgot. Everyone wins. RIP Rabbit.
Kinda makes me wander if they will make a season 2 given that rabbit recently passed away, but they did state in a couple interviews after rabbits passing that he didn't want to do any treatments because it would interfere with the show and he wanted to make sure they finished the season but he only knew he had cancer for 6 months prior to his passing so it couldn't have been season 1 they were referring to
It's truly an awesome show. Hoping that it does continue to season 2. The cast is funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable with cars, not to mention extremely skillful. Can't wait to see what's next.
The Mexican cop scene was staged. The location was done in El Paso a place called Montana Vista the area where they took the dune buggy to test drive which is know as red sands!
I liked the show better than the others on Netflix. Although there could be more of the actual build, I like how they took the suburban (or was it the bronco) down to the frame. Other shows just do paint/bodywork, motors and rims and sell it.
They lied on the episode where they bought the suburban. That wasn't in Mexico. It was in Montana Vista in el paso. I know cuz my mother in law live next to them.
I like the show BUT scooter got a lil annoying asap.. some things were overboard and made to look scripted af like a lady wanting to hit them with a chancla because they got close to the suburban or the mustang parts being kept but the tow person from Mexico among other things..
Good show but when I saw a place down the street from my house and said Juarez mex, I knew it was fake.. unless I now live in little Juarez in New Mexico..
This is a great show, I am rewatching all the episodes now. I love the concept of buying a piece of crap in Mexico and rebuild it nicely to sell it at a great price. No forced drama amongst the people either
I watched entire in 2 days. Some of the builds are to fast to following through. And I dont like how some of the cast respond to Scooter. He gets all the cars, he puts the name to the shop into vote, and everybody likes it, and he gets to be treated like a dumb. I dont think thats fair. He is the soul of the team. He should gets more respect
It's all part of the show. Having said that, Scooter has done a couple of clumsy moves that has created setbacks to the team. But again, it's all fun and games!
While I do think Borderline Customs is an actual business that is being run, I have a feeling that what is going on with the show is completely different. I think they film the day to day operations until enough stuff happens that they can build a semi-true narrative around it and then film a lot of scripted scenes to fit that narrative. So, you get a very exaggerated version of what really happened in the shop. This interview between Mike Coy and Richard Rawlings, owner of Gas Monkey Garage, is very telling in many ways. From what they both say about the filming of the shows I got a strong impression that there are basically two worlds going on, the actual buying, restoring, and selling of classic cars and the one the production company has created and packaged in a way that they think will please their viewers and of course make them money. So i didn‘t like the Show
I don't watch much tv bc i am severely adhd and add ican not sit still long enough to watch a movie let alone a regular tv show but i watched the whole first season in 1 day bc i couldn't take my eyes away
I just finished watching the series and one of the main issues was that in order to make ends meet and remain on schedule they had to work 7 days a week, 12+ hours, and when they encountered an obstacle sometimes they would to pull all nighters. You can see the entire restoring process of each car, as well as a final test in order to spot anything that would need fixing before a sale, so I would not doubt their quality and dedication.
Seen it last night. Looks rehearsed, scripted and contrived. Arrest with the Beetle looked fake and convenient to find a 66 mustang shell. Fixed up a Opel GT. It had a badly dented bodywork. Then all of a sudden it had a perfect body. I'm guessing they filed it with fillers. And then got a very unconvincing woman to buy it after knocking 5k off the price.
Scooter forced himself to be funny or entertaining, clumsy and childish in negotiations with buyers. The Federales, lady with chancla said she came armed 😂, and guy with machete…obvious staged scenes. Going into Juarez, Chihuahua with a ton of cash repeatedly with a blond hair gringo driving is a recipe for being robbed unless Netflix got a hold of the cartels and gangs and paid them ahead of time to leave them be. (I was born in Chihuahua and my cousins live in Juarez). The business model is innovative but hard to scale without a shop owner with a paid for shop, several car bays, and multiple teams working on 3-4 cars at a time, plus an active pipeline of cars to restore which means leads, sales teams, transporters, etc. high overhead! It takes like 4 hours to cross the border back to the U.S. from Juarez so you’re losing all sorts of time. I give the show a 6 out of 10. I liked Rust Valley Restorers because it had interesting characters with real human problems: Mike (hoarder w/no business sense but a huge heart). Avery: mechanical genius but sloppy. Connor: The only son who’s living in his dad’s shadow still.
They way they depict the Mexico buys are so misrepresented, the acting is horrible but good for show I guess 😂 not Mexico at all but what’s to be expected
Anubus, Egytian god of the underworld was a Xolo. I guess they traveled to Mexico.... or maybe we haven't been told the truth. I like fast in loud better, before it got so dramatic.
