Danny is excited to head to Detroit and hunt for vintage cars, something that he excels at.

The '71 Camaro needs a bit of refinishing touch-up and fixing of the transmission, which will be done by the skilled mechanics at Danny's shop, Counting Kustoms. Danny meets up with the proprietor of the showroom to make a deal and later visits the showroom again to collect his newly acquired car- the latest addition to his growing collection.

After seeing Danny's Detroit Special car collection, one can quickly tell he has his eye on the distinct vehicles that have played a significant role in automotive history.

He visits a local enthusiast who has worked on building a supercar titled “Mallen's Mad Maxxis.” Danny finds the car genuinely impressive, and it's unlike anything he's seen before.

The owner of the car mentions that the vehicle was partially made in the pit of his auto repair shop and utilizes engine parts from a submarine, jet boat parts, and one of a kind features such as the pilot seats and side-mounted cameras. Danny decides that he wants this vehicle to be a part of his collection, so he makes an offer to the proprietor, and they come to an agreement. The Malen's Mad Maxxis joins the Counting Kustoms line of prominent car collection.
