      @Brad Kells: He purchased the McLaren with dealer warranty. I'm guessing that entails having all work done at the dealer and not in a third party shop like the Wizard's. So unless the Wizard is an authorized McLaren mechanic and can service the car under warranty (or Hoovie is planning some mods that would not be done under warranty anyway), he is probably not going to make much money on the McLaren. But I can't feel too bad for the Wizard, with all the other Hoopties that Hoovie has, he should be keeping busy enough XD

    3:30 My 1996 Ford Contour SE V6 had a similar issue. We called it 'Moosing'. I fixed it by changing the diameter of a rubber UIM hose. The OEM hose's diameter made it act like a trombone and 'resonated'.
    That car BTW, lasted 167,000 miles then the 2-4 band of that CD4 transmission went. It didn't make $ense to fix it, so we donated the car to the local fire department.

    LOL, this video helped me with my car and I don't even own a Porsche! But those problems could be pretty common in many other vehicles - in my case it was white/gray smoke in the morning (bad crankcase ventilation valve) and the smell of burnt oil (it's a turbo, so there's a one-way valve for the crankcase vent, and when it goes bad the turbo blows the oil through the valve cover seals and straight onto exhaust manifold).
    And it was just two years after major engine overhaul, so you've saved me from going through all of this again. :D

Last but not least the IMS bearing that needs to be replaced I can't count how many I've done and engines I've replaced bc they fail. CV boots also almost forgot those they are very common also. Not bad cars tho. I always replaced the tubes and seals when I did spark plugs its worth the time. Cracked coil packs are getting common now also.

    It's interesting that with all the IMS bearing hysteria, the Wizard only mentions a few common problems that seem fairly cheap and easy to fix. Wizard, what is your view based on actual experience of the Porsche IMS bearing failure problem on M96 and M97 engines?

    Good video. But I do have one small criticism. If it would be possible you should try to zoom in on the small details, like down by the latch and the handle.

    I got a 1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow not too long ago that needs to be restored. I thought since you have one that looks very similar next to the viper you could tell me, how do you open the hood? I tried but I couldn’t figure it out.

    A hooter, how cute. I think it´s based on the development of the Stuka-sirens in WW2. Even Porsche is cooking with water.

    Do a polish on that black Boxster, that would make a great video. Of course that thing is so bad you could make A LOT of videos. Also that brown 928 is totally dope, one of my favorite Porsches.

    Looks like the convertible top side cable is not seating correctly leaving it hanging out side of the frame when up. Also a common problem. It needs a new elastic strap to keep it inside the frame. Easy fix also.

    I'm looking at a 99 986 with 50K miles. Hasn't had IMS bearing done but is one of the earlier years. Other than that it's flawless - is owned by a retired guy. Good buy?
