In this episode of Larry Chen's adventures, he takes us to a unique junkyard-turned-drifting haven known as Motorplex. Here, abandoned supercars and exotic vehicles lay in a state of decay, telling stories of neglect and faded glory. Larry explores the dusty relics, including a BMW once featured in a Russian singer's music video, showcasing the sad fate of these automotive treasures. Amidst the rust and rubble, the essence of past racing glory lingers, hinting at the vibrant history of the now desolate location.

Venturing further, Larry visits a local garage specializing in custom and classic cars, where Impalas and Lincolns undergo transformations into sand drag beasts. The garage's rally cars and drift vehicles attract international clients seeking unique automotive experiences. Larry delves into the world of drift training at the garage's school, equipped with an impressive fleet of Nissan 350Zs for students and corporate events. The school's comprehensive program offers 10 levels of training, culminating in tandem drifting sessions that push participants to master the art of controlled chaos on the track.

Amidst the roaring engines and screeching tires, Larry encounters Khalifa Alasi, a 16-year-old drift prodigy competing in the Middle Eastern championships. Witnessing Khalifa's skill and passion behind the wheel, Larry joins him for some thrilling laps on the track, marveling at the young driver's talent and composure. As the day unfolds, Larry immerses himself in the world of drifting, where tire wear tells tales of skill and precision, and the asphalt bears witness to the relentless pursuit of speed and control.
