But the team's favorite cars of all are lowriders--cars that hip and hop, dip and drop, go low and slow, bajito y suavecito. The stars align when a contest for the best car around offers a prize of a trunkful of cash--just what the team needs to open their own shop Ay chihuahua What will it take to transform a junker into the best car in the universe?

With a glossary at the back to provide definitions for Spanish and science terms, this delightful book will educate and entertain in equal measure.
