All language subtitles for Counting Cars 01E08 Boiling Point

On this episode of Counting Cards, Kevin
and I brave a tough neighborhood for a

quick flip.

Looks like she had a little hard night
last night, huh? Yeah, she got stolen

twice. Twice. A customer gets an
unexpected surprise. Hit it, let's get

It's not starting.

And I finally pushed someone over the
edge. You guys got a problem with

something? No, there's no problem.

Vegas is a gambling town.

Most people bet with chips.

I bet with rides.

Look at this. And I always go all in.
Wow. What would you take for this?

I'm Dan, a .k .a. The Count. And this is
my all -star team.

We find them, fix them, flip them.

Sometimes I eat them. This is 30G. I
can't help myself.

For my crew, every job's high stakes.

And we can't afford to lose.

This is Counting Cards.

Yeah. That should be your thing, man.
Yeah.

That should be a part of all the rest.

Absolutely, man.

Because I'm the best.

Man,

this is sweet.

How you doing, man? Nice bike.

I like that.

I like that.

You want to come over and talk to me
about your bike?

I got you. I got you.

It's going to be a tough one, man.

Oh, man. See, he's getting away from us.

People don't usually stop the first time
I try to pull them over. But my

business depends on the ability to find
cars and bikes to flip. So I can't take

no for an answer.

He's pulling us. Oh, maybe he's going to
pull over.

I don't know where he wants to pull
over. I don't know. Right here. Right

He's probably shooting at the plate.

I just want to talk to you about the
play.

I got you. I got no, I didn't want to. I
didn't want to. I'm sorry, too, man. I

didn't want to. No, all good. Just
nothing but love, man. Nothing but

compliments.

Absolutely.

I think we think I might have put this
guy over.

Yeah.

He was nervous.

That's what it was. But I understand
that. What are you guys looking for?

Absolutely. This is one of those
situations where I don't want you to get

Well, he didn't strike me as that kind
of guy. I know, dude, but you never

I have to talk to him. Oh, my God. I
have to talk to him.

Usually after a couple times we try and
get somebody to pull over, we bail.

Danny's so dead set on getting this guy
to pull over.

Had me worried a little bit.

Brother, I didn't mean to make you
nervous or anything like that. It's just

we're car guys and bike guys, and this
bike's got so much style. I had to stop

and say hi. I'm Danny, by the way.
Roger.

Roger. Kevin, come here a second, man.

I dig the look, man.

Nasty looking raw, but yet it's got so
much style.

This is my dream come true right here.
My first bike I ever built. You know, I

collect a few parts from here and there.
Sure, sure.

Hand -me -down Evo motor, 80 cubic
engine.

I love it. Man, they go all day long. In
1984, the Evolution engine was Harley

-Davidson's solution to save it from
bankruptcy.

It was smoother, quieter, and more
powerful than any other Harley engine

preceded it. It was an instant success.

You seem like the kind of guy that
should be building stuff because this is

cool. Awesome, man. I love the raw,
nasty look she's got. I believe I could

this bike for around 15 grand.

So if I can convince this guy to sell it
to me for 10 grand, it's an instant

score. I got to ask you, would you ever
want to sell this bike?

Oh, man, I never really thought about
it. I'd really like to buy this bike

you. Kick me an offer. Okay. I'll give
you $8 ,500 today.

Not a chance, Denny. For $8 ,500, I
can't let go.

It's a little rough looking, but... I
don't want to change a thing. I really

like the bike the way it is.

We got to start somewhere. What have you
got in your mind?

I'll go to slow at 11.

Roger, you're on, brother.

I look forward to seeing your next bike.
Absolutely, man. Next time I won't have

to chase you. Just ride it down to the
shop and show me what you got.

I'm extremely happy to have scored this
bike for $11 ,000 today.

This bike is cool, and I can't wait to
get it back to the shop.

You must be Paulette. I am.

This gal, Paulette, came in today with
the 1986 IROC Z28 Camaro.

Wow. Looks like she had a little hard
night last night, huh? Yeah, she did.

had a couple rough nights, actually.

Now, what happened to her? She got
stolen twice.

Twice? Twice. Two times. The second time
the car was stolen, they put a brick on

the gas pedal and tied the seatbelt up
around the steering wheel, and it was

going totally fast into a fence, just
sitting there. running burning rubber

nobody in it can we look inside yeah oh
yeah they did you some favors in there

yeah they did so we need a new dash new
carpet you know what we need a new

interior how's that in my opinion this
car deserves a little love and although

it's not as popular as some of the
collector cars that we normally get in

shop The IROC is still a popular car to
collect because there were less than 170

,000 of them made. Now, the IROC got its
name from the International Race of

Champions, which was a huge race that
many racing legends competed in, such as

Dale Earnhardt and Mario Andretti. I'm
thinking we're going to be right about

35. I still got to look up all the
parts. Plan on 40.

After I graduated college, my
grandfather bought me the car of my

has so much personal meaning to me, so
whatever it takes, I'm willing to pay.

We promise we'll take good care of her
for you.

Earlier in the week, a customer came to
the shop with a beat -up IROC that was

stolen and trashed by a bunch of
hooligans.

The guys have been burning the midnight
oil to give it a high -performance

overhaul, and we're adding a surprise
custom feature that will guarantee it'll

never get stolen again.

While they finish up, Kevin and I are
cruising one of the rougher

in Vegas looking for anything that
catches our eye.

Man, we ain't finding nothing. I know.
It's hot out. This neighborhood just has

nothing to offer.

What do you say we give it a few more
minutes?

Yeah. I'm with you.

Don't wait.

What's that?

It's like an old Dodge Dart.

Now,

that's something you don't see every
day. That thing's nice. I'm glad we saw

that, man.

This Dodge Dart got our attention from a
block away. You can't miss that engine

sticking out of the hood.

I'm not even sure of the year of this.
I'm going to guess 73.

Somebody put a lot of time and money
into this, and it showed.

Hey, how you doing?

Oh, we didn't want to bother anybody or
anything, but we just saw your car in

your driveway, man. You got any time to
chew your ear about it?

No?

He told us.

You never know what's going to happen
when you walk up to somebody's house and

knock on the door. But I got to say,
this is probably the first time that I

to turn around and look at Kevin. I
thought to myself, you know, we might

to just leave.

What do you think?

Do you want to take a stab at it?

I don't.

How you doing, man? What do you want?
Just kind of wanted to talk to you about

your car for a minute. It's a beautiful
car. What year is that?

72. 72? I was off, man. I said a 73. I
was off by a year. I'm sorry to bug you.

I'm sorry. You kind of woke me up. Don,
that's all right, man.

I'm Danny. This is Kevin, man. Thanks
for coming out, man. I appreciate it.

Don't mean to bug you, but wow.

You got a badass car, man.

The Dodge Dart came out in 1960, and it
was almost called the Zip.

Thankfully, Chrysler executives woke up
and decided not to use that name. The

compact car was so popular that they
decided to relaunch it in 2013.

Can we see under the hood?

Sure.

Oh, my gosh.

You don't even have a room for a
sandwich in there.

800 horses.

Oh, wow.

Man, you got to be having fun with this.
I have a problem with the overheating.

Oh, really? She running hot on you?
Yeah, and I put on three fans. That

seem to work. We can help you with that.
I've got a shop.

We'd take it up and down the street a
couple times and see what the

gauge says it's doing.

Sure. Want to drive it?

Dude.

Yes,

I do.

Car guys look out for each other. Well,
one of the things that you can do to

help another car guy out... Let's test
drive this vehicle to see if maybe you

can diagnose what's going on with it. I
hope you don't mind, but, you know,

we're going to push it a little bit to
check the temperature out. You know what

I'm saying? You break it, you buy it.

I'm just hoping that I can turn this
test drive into a quick flip.

You don't even have to do anything. It
just goes.

800 horses.

I'll tell you.

Have you been pulled over anything yet?
I play Santa Claus at Christmas time,

so. Yeah, nice.

I always look at her and say, you really
going to pull over Santa?

Try to get back before it gets any
warmer. Yeah.

It's starting to get up there a little
bit.

Man. Oh, man.

How was it?

Dude.

This car will kick some Kardashian
-sized ass. This thing is bad,

bad, bad.

Thank you for letting me take this thing
around the corner. But I'm curious as

to if you would ever consider selling
this car.

Well, you know, I have everything for
sale for the right price.

I've got a number in my head.

If you hit it, you know, the bells will
go off.

Would you look at a $15 ,000 offer? No.

Okay, all right. Is that number in your
head you've got, is that top secret?

It's 20 grand.

20 grand. 20.

I don't know that I'm ready to go 20
today.

I really wanted this car, but the
problem is I know that I couldn't sell

more than 20 grand. And with further
customization, I'd be in too deep to

any kind of money on it. But the good
news is, I think I picked up a new

customer. Maybe we can get it up to the
shop and...

Is that your turtle over there, man?
That's my desert tortoise. They're an

endangered species.

Look at him, dude. What's his name?
Turtle.

What's up, buddy?

Does he bite?

If he bites you, we're going to have to
cut his head off because they're like

snapping turtles. They don't let go.

Are you serious? Yeah. Oh, my God.

I love it. You never know what you're
going to find.

Well, let's do this, man. Let's get her
down to the shop and let us tinker with

this cooling system thing. See if we
can't get that leveled out for you.

a great idea.

Fair enough.

Thank you. Man, I appreciate you coming
out and taking us for a ride and talking

about your car. You missed the ride,
though. I know.

I'm okay with that.

I know how he drives.

Shannon, my brother, how you doing, my
man? What you working on, brother?

Remember that bike?

They had, like, pinstripes and an
eyeball.

Hand -painted artwork on it, like
Frankenstein hand, a bone, a straight

I don't want to change a thing. I really
like the bike the way it is.

Yep, that's the one.

I'm really confused right now because I
didn't want to change a thing on it. It

was cool.

How did this happen?

Scott had said we were changing some
things on it.

I got to call Kevin.

Sit tight, brother.

I've never had anything like this happen
before. I don't know who screwed up.

But I'm pretty sure it wasn't me. Who's
making the creative decisions on this?

Scott? He's the one saying do this and
do that?

So we were told.

We just assumed it was coming from you.

What's the matter with him? I don't get
this.

Just hold on on everything until we
figure out what's going on, okay?

Good deal. Thank you, guys. I appreciate
it.

I really like the way that bike was.

I mean, it was perfectly ratty. It had
my kind of dank all over it. That's the

whole reason why I tried to get that
bike so hard in the first place.

So if Scott went and made changes on it
without consulting me first, he better

have a good reason.

So, the rat bike.

Is that the crayon bike? Yeah.

Yeah, the whole reason I got that bike
was just because it was cool.

There's not even a work order on this
bike.

Explain that.

I have a work order. I had a customer
who contacted us about building a bike.

Oh, okay.

I sent some photos of it.

Okay. We went back and forth, and we
were going to be able to flip it for

$25. Okay. How much of a deposit did you
get out of this guy so we can pay for

these parts?

I didn't take it.

I built my own rule of all rules. So we
got no deposit money? Where's the guy,

though? Where's the guy? He's out of New
Jersey.

And is he still a player?

Dude, I started contacting him. I can't
get him to answer the phone, no email,

nothing.

Normally, we take deposits on projects.

We get money for parts, money for labor.

On this particular project, we got no
deposit.

So I'm a little scared right now because
this is one person's vision on how this

bike should be, and that limits your
buyers.

I tell you what, all I want is to just
give him a moment of that. Okay.

On this rat rod bike, I didn't know he
wanted to keep it just as is. Now I'm

deep in the bike. I'm hoping it doesn't
screw up my quarter.

I'll tell you, I really...

myself on this one.

I'll find a buyer.

I got fake.

I don't know if he's ever going to get
that money back.

While the guys are putting the finishing
touches on Paulette's eye rot, Scott is

trying to get his ass out of the
doghouse. He broke his own rules. He

take any customer's deposit and screwed
us in the process.

All the custom fabrication work is done
on this bike. The artwork is coming out

beautiful. I just know that Scott is
saying his prayers that that custom gold

leaf work that Ryan and Horny Mark are
doing on his bike is going to help sell

it.

Hi. There she is. Are you ready to go
out and cause some trouble on the

Oh, hell yes.

Yeah? Go ahead and check and make sure
it hasn't been stolen again. I know.

Come on, man. We've been working around
the clock on this IROC, and we finally

got it finished. Right, all right.

I can't wait for Paulette to see how she
came out.

Bring that baby out.

Come to mama.

There's my baby.

Your baby.

I love it.

Wow. I never imagined it to look this
good.

Better Tech TV.

Yeah, brother.

This is a wicked -looking car. Yeah.

We've gone through all the rubber, all
the trim, did the crazy blackout wheel

setup.

Your window's blacked out.

I always wanted the windows tinted.
Sweet. The body's as straight as an

and that black is deep.

We redid all the interior.

Yeah, check out the inside. I mean, it's
all back to what it was when you bought

it. Wow.

Everything that had been ripped out when
it had been stolen the last time, all

of that is brand new. Look at the
dashboard. It's one piece.

It's amazing to see it in one piece. All
the damage they've done before and to

see it look like this. I couldn't ask
for anything better.

I've got to lift the hood. I just have
to.

Wow.

Detail everything up underneath. It's
all brand new.

You're now looking at a 383 stroker
Chevy motor, aluminum heads.

This is a little over 450 horse now,
which should be about two of your other

engines. Wow.

Well, what do you say we take this
beautiful baby out for a putt? All

How's that? Yes.

Are you ready? I am.

Hit it. Let's get it.

Well.

It's not starting.

What's going on? What is going on? It
won't turn on.

Why not? I don't know.

I know. How many times did you say this
car was stolen? It's been stolen twice.

Twice? Yeah.

Not anymore. You know why?

Why? Put a hidden kill switch in it now.
A kill switch? Hidden kill switch.

Really? Yeah. What's that?

It's a switch that disables the whole
car like it is right now. Wow. And

can steal it because nobody knows where
the switch is except you.

I'm going to tell you where the switch
is. I bet you're dying to know. I do. I

want to drive this thing. I'm going to
show you right now. All right.

But nobody else gets to know. Okay.

All right.

You are ready to terrorize.

I need the title for the rat -rod bike.
I think I have somebody to buy the bike.

For that bike? Right now, he's on his
way. He should be here in less than five

minutes. Give him direction. Can you
make us some money on that? Well, here's

copy of it.

I need the original.

Don't lose the sale.

Well, don't jinx me before it happens.
I'm not. I'm throwing Mojo. Give me my

money back. Get Mojo on you. This rat
-rod bike, you know, I drove a project

our own dollar. I had a customer lined
up. Backed out.

So, I have a potential buyer for the
bike.

And, you know, I'm pretty nervous right
now.

Because I really need him to save my
ass.

Bring me out the rat rod, please.

Let's tune in.

Let's see how he does.

Scott's more of a numbers guy than a
great salesman, so this could be

interesting. What do you think, man?
What do you think?

I told you the pictures didn't do it
justice. No, not at all. No, it's a

beautiful bike.

All right, here we go, and we're off. We
did so much fabrication from scratch on

this.

We made a custom headlight mount right
here.

We also made the tank from scratch. We
put this custom piece of trim on it. We

pulled it off a car. I think it's from a
53 Chevy.

The paint job is just amazing.

I got a great leather guy. He made me a
cheap, put brand new brakes on it, front

and rear, brand new controls, lower,
brand new uppers. Slow down, slow down.

So did you make all this stuff? Did you
make it here in your shop? Yeah,

everything you see on here, we actually
fabbed here. He seemed a little

frazzled. Yeah. He seemed a little
frazzled. He was nervous.

Well, the good news is the buyer's still
standing there looking at it. Yeah. It

really is beautiful, and it runs like a
dream.

All right, so talk to me about the
engine. It's a RevTech.

It's an Evo. Evo, yeah. What size?

You've surpassed my technical skills.

I don't know what he's up to.

He's coming his way.

You guys look like little kids. I need
some help. What's going on? Going okay?

don't know the size of the motor, so I
need the big dog. It's very rare a

customer catches me wrong. Just one more
peg in my death coffin with this bike.

It's like I go get the count to save my
ass.

Sure is pretty.

Yeah, it is. What can I answer for you
on this?

Motor. 80 -inch Evo, it's fast because
it's light, and it's really dependable.

I've ridden this, and it is tight and
right and runs great.

What are you thinking?

Somewhere around 24.

When it comes for this bike, nah, it's a
little light. Honestly, I'm thinking a

little bit more around 29. Like I said,
I mean, we've got a ton of fabrication

into this. I mean, look at the seat
alone, the stitching on the seat.

I'm telling you, this bike fits you,
man. You look good on this.

What do you think, 28?

Let's go somewhere in the middle there.
You got cash?

Yep, cash.

26.

When Billy paused real hard, man, I was
like, just give me my money and get the

out.

Done.

Done. Okay. Good with that?

Absolutely. I'm glad you dig it, man.
I'm glad you did. A lot of bikes for the

money. I think 26 is a very fair price.
I think I got the better end of the

deal. It seemed like they needed to move
it. Any custom bike you're going to get

built, it's going to take months. So I'm
really excited I got a bike now that I

can take out that's ready to go.

Unbelievable.

What's up?

We made some money.

Oh, really? He just got his ass out of
the front.

I can't believe it.

Hold on. Hold on one second. Let me just
tell you how it goes.

You do the paperwork. I'm off to the
bar. Later.

Gladly. I could go broke buying him a
beer.
