In this exhilarating episode of Hoonigan, the legendary Scumbug goes head-to-head against Steph Papadakis and his sneaky-tuned Rav 4. The Scumbug, a beastly Baja Bug built by the Hoonigan team five years ago, boasts a mild suspension setup, a stroked engine, and trusty BFG tires. Meanwhile, Steph's Rav 4 surprises everyone with its stock engine, turbo, and custom suspension, complete with sleek black rhino wheels.

The race is a nail-biter from start to finish. In the first round, the Scumbug snatches victory by a mere fender, leaving the Rav 4 trailing behind. But Steph isn't one to back down easily. In the second round, he revs up his game and edges out the Scumbug, winning by a bumper. The competition is fierce, and both drivers showcase their skills and determination.

However, the Hoonigan team isn't ready to call it quits just yet. They decide to have one final race, purely for the thrill of it. And this time, the Scumbug truly shines. With Cody, the Hoonigan's new driver, behind the wheel, the Scumbug dominates the track, leaving the Rav 4 in its dust. It's a resounding victory for the Scumbug, proving its mettle and securing its place in the hearts of the Hoonigan fans.

Ultimately, it's a race filled with adrenaline, close finishes, and the sheer passion for speed. The Scumbug may have won the day, but both vehicles showcased their unique strengths and left everyone in awe. It's a testament to the spirit of racing and the thrill of pushing machines to their limits.
