00:40Tahoe. We converted the whole front end as you see, fenders. We added oversized
00:46wheels, 28-inch, fully engraved and painted. We added a nice mural on top of
00:52the hood, our caddy paint job, pearl paint job, and then some pinstriping.
01:00Money-wise, it's very hard to pinpoint it, but a rough estimate would probably be
01:06$90,000 to $100,000. I know it sounds like a lot to a lot of people, but
01:11also it's a build that has taken maybe four to four plus years.
01:18First started doing it for, you know, the girls. Why lie? But eventually you do it so long,
01:24you're overlooked at. That's not what you're building. You fall in love with the builds and,
01:27you know, the attention the builds get and everybody's reaction of something different.
01:32When they first see our rides on the street or anywhere we're setting them up,
01:36first thing that comes out of people's mouth is, you know, wow. Second thing is,
01:39why would you do that to a new car? Our car club is we try to go after the newest stuff and pretty
01:45much mess it up. The car is great. It's fantastic. It seems there's no part of this car that's not
01:52customized. The paint is extraordinary, definitely has show quality. This vehicle is definitely
02:03above the top. Unique. We ran out of ideas on cars, so why not build a golf cart, right?
02:10We put some 14-inch rims on the golf cart, LEDs all the way on the bottom, halo lights.
02:15It's got TVs everywhere. We have an iPad that goes on the dash, Xbox 360 in the back,
02:21and actually this damn golf cart weighs probably as much as a car. I'm sitting on a good 12
02:26batteries right now. You spend at least $5,000 just on these batteries. Despite the incredible
02:31amount of time and money involved in being a member of the club, it's grown exponentially
02:36since its inception in 2001. We started in Montebello, California. We've expanded to
02:4328 chapters, including Texas, Florida, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Arizona, Nevada, Utah,
02:52and now presently in Japan as well. Nocturnal as a club, I mean, now it's more like family.
02:59I've missed so many birthday parties, parties, and we've gone everywhere with these guys,
03:04with our members, you know, and sometimes they do more for you than your own family does.
03:09Everybody thinks I'm crazy in my family. They say I waste too much money on it,
03:14but my perks are different. My rewards are different. I grew up reading the Lowrider
03:19magazine here. Always aspired to maybe one day come out in the magazine, but successfully we've
03:26won, and I'm a three-time champ when it comes to Lowrider. They say I'm obsessed with all these
03:31vehicles, but I don't call it obsessed. It's just, you know, what you love doing.
