In this thrilling episode of Donut, Agent Jimmy embarks on a daring mission to infiltrate the esteemed low rider scene. Armed with little knowledge but a heart full of determination, Jimmy delves into the rich history of low riders, tracing their roots back to the custom car culture of 1950s Southern California. With the evolution of elaborate paint jobs and innovative hydraulics, low riders became a symbol of defiance against legal restrictions on lowered cars, a true automotive rebellion.

As Jimmy immerses himself in the world of low riders, he encounters legendary figures like Jim Log and Ron Giri, pioneers who revolutionized the scene with their groundbreaking hydraulics installations. The quest for authenticity leads Jimmy to enlist the expertise of John John for hydraulics and a dynamic painting duo, Jacine Valenzuela and Mark Hok, to give the low rider Miata a unique and eye-catching design. Despite initial doubts, Jimmy's transformation of the Miata impresses even the most skeptical onlookers, showcasing the fusion of Japanese car aesthetics with the bold spirit of low riders.

However, a mishap threatens to derail Jimmy's mission when the back axle of the low rider Miata snaps, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the team's chances of success. Through perseverance and the timely intervention of Agent Heber, the issue is swiftly resolved, setting the stage for the ultimate test: cruising with a group of low riders to earn their respect and seal Jimmy's place in the hallowed halls of the low rider community. The tension mounts as Jimmy and his team prepare to showcase their creation, hoping to secure an invitation to join the ranks of the revered low rider enthusiasts.
