Juan Gamez proves that you really can ride around San Antonio in comfort. Gamez, owner of Tito's Auto Body Shop, is the star of a now viral video because of his unique ride.
"Estas bien loco," Elizabeth Peralez Garza is heard saying on the video after Gamez pulls into the parking lot of Elizabeth Hair & Co. on South Flores Street. Garza shared the video on her personal Facebook page last week.
Gamez added a go-kart motor and wheels to a recliner with four clown heads on the back. He even included a handbrake to slow down the insane-looking ride.
The chair scooter probably isn't the safest thing to take out on a San Antonio street, but you got to give a man credit for his comfortable-looking vehicle. It looks like a convenient way to get to H-E-B or do other quick errands.
Gamez has been compared to Nathan Apodaca because of how cool he looks driving around with a Mama Margie's cup in one hand, but Gamez isn't a TikTok knockoff. He's puro San Antonio.
Garza summed it up pretty well as Gamez gets back on the road: "Only on the South Side."
