Hoovie blew another 911
This time a 2002 Turbo. Looks like someone didn't pin their coolant pipes.

Normally I would feel bad, but he does pretty well for himself ...
As long as he doens't blow up his MacLaren

LOL @ Vincero watches. (Sorry, I'm a watch nerd)
Blown coolant pipes aren't so bad, it happens all the time. The only downside is you have to pull the engine to do it.

Just FYI - he prays for this to happen. His entire channel is built on it. I wouldn't be surprised if he UN-pinned the pipes.

I have no doubt. Like when he supercharged his Prius and it blew up. I particularly liked when he put on the spot his mechanic asking if he would honour his warranty work and he flat out said no.

He's a buffoon! Only does stoopid stuff because it draws viewers. After Apollo 911 I quit watching. I got suckered once...but not twice.

He didn't supercharge that Prius, he put a 50 shot of nitrous on it and didn't turn off traction control.

Yes, sorry, I had a brain fart. I do know the difference, I just didn't think through when I typed.

I am not interested in his content, but, man! He is living a cool life. Having fun with cars and getting paid for it! That's my dream!

Good for him, I guess.
On the flip side, we all get to drive Porsches, and we don't have to have to wear Vinceros or be that guy. I wouldn't trade places.

It's his shtick, it's entertainment and I am not sure why so many people take it so seriously.

As safety chair for my local region, he did so many things wrong in that video (the one that makes me the most mad is the garage door opener still on the visor since that should have been caught in the tech line). All that said, I still like his videos, and wouldn't mind being able to pull off a living doing what he does.
