Wheelers Dealers is one of my favorite car shows. The don’t add needless drama, resist the temptation to spell the title as Wheelerz Dealerz, or make their restorations “bitchin’”. They have a good variety of cars and even when their project car isn’t something I’m interested in, I enjoy seeing the process.

Probably my favorite car show now that Top Gear/Grand Tour is done.
No fake deadlines or stupid made-up drama. I liked Edd and didnt think Ant would do a good job, but he's turned out to be really good to watch.
BTW, ant has another show on Velocity called "For the Love of Cars" that's pretty good, too. It's an older show but very similar format to Wheeler Dealers. There's more historical background on the cars.

Sure seems like a ticking timebomb for any 996. (I did manage to have it happen to my old 996 '98 Boxster at 55k miles). Porsche was sure tight-lipped about it... except for that one loose-lipped sales rep. Needless to say, after my lawyer of a wife caught wind of that, Porsche North America was ever so slightly more willing to cover the replacement engine under warranty even though it was 5k miles out at that point.
I wonder what changes exactly Porsche has made to my 2010 C2S in order to prevent this?

You need to come up to speed on the whole IMS issue..... just google it and you will get your answer. Good news: in 2009 Porsche came out with a redesigned block called the 9A1 engine. It has no intermediate shaft and no bearing to fail. They also upgraded many of the other failure modes of the M96/M97 engine (model years 1997-2008). BTW, Porsche appears to stagger changes in chassis with changes in engine.... that is why the 997 has two different engine platforms.
