Jay hits the streets of California to figure out exactly what car culture means in the Golden State. He hangs with East L.A hot rodders, rides with one of the oldest motorcycle clubs in the country, visits forgotten hot spots along the Ridge Route, and gets an exclusive look at the Petersen Automotive Museum's secret vault.

Jay leaves the paved roads behind to meet some less traditional motorists and their eclectic rides. He finds his inner child in a giant Tonka Truck, explores harsh terrain with off-roading expert Amy Lerner, races comedian Jeff Dunham in an amphibious car, and cheats death with out of the box designer Baron Margo to discover how these unique vehicles fulfill their drivers' wildest dreams.
