what problems with air cooled engines? They were better than the water cooled ones. They moved to water cooling as tighter and tighter emissions, noise and fuel economy regulations were putting the pinch on air-cooling. That was the only reason they changed. Water cooling gives more power at high end, but that wasn't the reason to move to water.
Alan B'Stard M P Air cooling doesn’t do much if it’s 110 degrees outside. And air cooling doesn’t do a lot in rear engine cars either. Water cooling is the safest bet.
Rev up your horses 🐎😁
Drive like a sport, pay like a sport.

Last time I was this early, Scotty was still a young mechanic
Hahahahaha
Actually an apprentice.......at 14,and junior high school, you've come a long way Scotty, Happy birthday!
He still is
ibnu Çürük I mean RUclips wasn’t around back when he was a young mechanic so......
Touché 😉👌
Is he sure that “bump” wasn’t a body he just ran over while running through that Stop Sign 😂
Since when was following traffic laws a thing in Houston?
Yeah I noticed that Stop Scotty ran too! He saw it and said "screw it I can fix it!"
james liu Probably the car has brake failure!
LOL. I instantly scrolled to the comment section after I saw that!! I knew it was going to be at least a dozen people picking him apart for that. 😂😭🤣
If you watched the video the street was clear. Sorry.
Scotty Kilmer proposing to his wife:
Would you be my endless money pit? 😄

Before scotty motorboats his wife he screams

"Scotty, what do you think about mechanics?"
"They're endless money pits!"
Funny! But seriously,
good mechanics are worth their weight in gold.

Can’t wait for a race horse to be named “Endless Money Pit”
I'd be amazed if that hasn't happened already lol

Philosopher Scotty: “Life is a money pit”
Roberto Vargas 💀💀💀
Scottys favorite phrase endless money pits
And the pit is full of 💩👈...
But seriously though a lot of the luxury cars especially European ones
require some SERIOUS money for problems that occur a lot.
I know a person who owns a 2014 s-class brand new from the dealership
After about a year of light use and after a checkup, keep in mind that he regularly has it checked up in the dealership in the UAE.
They gave him a receipt of around $22K for different repairs that he had to make and the parts he had to change.
He then took that report and took it to a german specialized well reputable garage, and they fixed the issues for LESS THAN $2K!!!!!
That is mostly because the dealership tends to replace parts instead of fixing/repairing them, at least in the UAE.
I actually think 144.000 miles is really good for a mid-engined sports car, considering most owners beat the heck out them
There's a reason people don't put much miles on those babies. Scotty's car advice are FACTS.
Anton Zuykov it is had to say but typically new muscle cars like mustangs, camaros etc.. are driven very hard. Hard to say for a brand of car, you must check it out yourself to tell if it has been abused
If most owners beat the heck out of them, then 50,000 miles is already bad.
@@aliceshaw8265 you mean Toyotas. Porsche drivers usually drive their cars hard. Just like BMW
scotty: ONLY BUY TOYOTA!
also scotty: I JUST BOUGHT A PORSCHE
Few days later...
Scotty: Meh... as I said before it was an endless money pit so I traded it for a Toyota MR2.
Toyota Celica: Am I a joke to you?
I wonder what he usually drives. He’s put like a thousand miles on his Celica the last two years
Scotty says if you can afford to maintain a car or work on it , go and buy it end of story, you have to admit that not everyone is a car enthusiast or car mechanic simple is that
@@Eman1900O the matrix?
@@Eman1900O He has an old Lexus ES, his famous Celica, and a Toyota Matrix

The beauty of the old air-cooled porsche's is their ease to work on
I love how he's running stop signs in someone else's car! LOLOL
What a piece of junk 🐎😂
He does it all the time
Wait he didn’t buy it?
@@chukob5 obv no, havent u seen his previous videos? he would never recommend anyone to buy a porsche. why would he buy one if he doesnt recommend it to other people?
remember how he always says "endless money pits"?
DanielGeezFirst yeah it’s a money pit if your not a mechanic or know how to fix things like he says about a lot of cars but ummm he’s a mechanic
Last time I was this early I was watching him on VHS
@CR They crave that mineral
Funny because, I was listening to him on the old 8 tracks.
Luke Smith Rev up your VCRs!
"Never buy a PORSCHE"
Buys a Porsche..
Oh well....
LOLOLOL
Well his a mechanic and has a ton of money so who cares. Like he always say in his videos if you dont mind spending money go for it
Next series...how to maintain a porche on a budget or something
Mid life crisis ? Lol
@@mars9075 LOL truth, if you dont care money alot then go for it
Customer: **takes car to Scotty because of the check engine light**
Scotty: **makes a video about the car where he casually says he’s yet to check why the light is on**
Lol
Check engine light is not on, probably means the bulb needs to be replaced.
He fixes it by removing the bulb behind the dash and gives it back for a big payday. 😁 then makes a video on mechanic scams.
Bought an 01 boxster s with 65,000 MI 6 spd manual for my 40th this year! Went all in knowing that I would drive it and work on it. Mine has a borla Cat-Back exhaust and I removed the snorkel(restrictor to intake) she has kind of a daunting list of regular maintenance needs, but still pounds the pavement for a 20-year-old car. That German 6-speed gearbox is a joy to drive and it rides considerably smooth at speed. Love your videos Scotty!!
“Endless money pits”
Yeah, if you need a game, take a shot every time Scotty says "Endless money pit" you will be dead within an hour... :D Now, I am talking about Tequila, if they are shots of weaker alcohol, like whiskey, rum, or anything else around 40% alcohol, take another shot every time he compliments a Toyota...
Just like the wife.
Happy Birthday Scotty !!! Now 52 years been a Mechanic!!!! 🙂🙂🙂
thanks!
Scotty Kilmer Your very welcome Mr Scotty!! Keep the good work mixed with a lot of fun!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
At this point i realize if I see "did I just buy" means he really didn't buy it.
he bought it lol...
@@GamingAmbienceLive Did he really? I see the Scotty plates front and rear.
Everyone knows by now Scotty wouldn't do such a thing.
could the scotty plates be for customer protection?
Watch him swap his celica engine into the porche xD
He would really do this. Stop reminding him
Do it!
Porsce 911
*2jz swap*
Wow that Porsche doesn’t look like it was taken care of at all!
Guy On A Budget 144k I’m surprised it made it that far any car with that kinda of mileage will start looking it’s age
@@franklatin2411 I have an '03 C4S going on 150K still does 0-60 in 5secs which is the factory published time for that year model. They hold up well through the years as long as they're not abused. I use mine daily and work on it myself, they only reason why I can have something like that. Bought it for 32K with 50k miles in '13 and they're still listed for the same price on the classifieds.
I agree! My 82 911 SC is in way better condition with the same miles. He is so against Porsche or other makes. What he fails to realize is the guy that can afford to pay for parts n labor that cost $1500, to the average guy, wow that's a lot. To the guy that makes a good living that's like $150 to him. No biggie and he continues to enjoy the Porsche. If you are not well off then you need to do as much of the work yourself n save $
@@joejoe188 Yes that's true, a $5,000 trip to the shop is about the same as a normal person spending $10 bucks at McDonalds. I have to say the Porsche in this video is of very poor quality, the paint is no better than a Ford and the interior looks like a chrysler product... Just utter trash, did you see how they painted the plastic to look like Aluminium? What a joke, the old cars are probably far superior in the quality of materials used.
Someone abused the crap out of this one.
Most I’ve seen tend to be garage queens.
"in stop & go traffic, they weren't all that hot."
Actually, they got very hot! :P
I laughed!
I caught that irony too. LOL
My very thought
Was about to say the same.
Caught that too! LOL!
"And since it's Porsche Wednesday, I'm giving this one away". Said no mechanic/youtuber ever. :(
If the mechanic gave away the used Porches with a guarantee the receiver HAD to pay that mechanic to fix it, sure they would in a heartbeat!
@@ongbocau fair enough
Scotty: "Revving the engine is bad and you should let it warm up for awhile before you do anything."
Also Scotty: "Listen to this engine!" *Starts engine and immediately revs it*
CrimsonStang He mostly likely warmed it up before revving.
It’s funny; he doesn’t even follow his own advice!
Zachery Miller well he said don’t buy a used Porsche and then buys a used Porsche
SCOTTY: "They're like modern day go-karts."
MODERN DAY GO-KARTS: "Thanks for raising the bar."
I’ve had my 987S Boxster for over a year now. I’ve put 15k miles on it and do most all of the work myself. Yeah it has its trick for doing something like the spark plugs but it’s not difficult. It’s a great car and has been very reliable for me.
It's a great car, I put nearly 50,000 miles the first year with no issues. It's my DD and my out of state beast. Easily most reliable car ive ever had.
My friend had a porsche growing up in high school, some older model. It was such a beast..... I had a buick, that was basically a moving couch. Hahahah good times!
What kind of Buick
Benjamin Hancock was it a 944/924/914/968?
It was a Buick park avenue! 93 possibly since it wasn't a brick lol. I thiiiiink it was a 944, toss up between it and the 924.
@@benh2156 rich kids
Ah that's cool man my best friend in high school had a 92 93 Buick park Avenue. I had a 79 Regal. Talk about moving couches oml. They were tanks though.
Havent seen a headliner tacked up like that since the early 90s
I have the same custom headliner in my 02 Bonneville SSEI 😂
Same 05' accord 😂
trent ryan I was wondering what those were, thank you

Lmao , thought the same thing , when I seen all those thumb tacks
Did Scotty run through that stop sign🙊🙉🙈🤣
Nobody:
Scotty: This one just a giant Porsche Go-kart.
No way Scotty would buy a Porsche.
I think he liked watching how easy it was to put your alternator in yours 😂
I'm thinking that IS Scotty's Porsche!
So did he actually buy a Porsche?
Scotty can’t even pronounce Porsche correctly! It is pronounced as “por-shuh” not “porsh”!
Even I wouldn't buy a Porsche, except the electric Taycan Turbo S
I've had my 76 911 Carrara for 18 years love it.....
@Elliot Rodger no reply lol!!!!
No, in stop & go traffic the old air cooled 911 WAS quite hot. 😉
Pre-2009 Cayman...is that a new IMS bearing in your pocket, or are you just happy to see your mechanic?
I had the opportunity to buy a 2003 911. The ones that came out with the defective camshaft bearing. It had 30k miles and had a blown engine . They wanted $3,000 for it. The body was immaculate. It was a blue convertible. Gorgeous car.
Ended up walking out of the deal and a buddy of mine jumped on it.
He thought he could rebuild the engine himself.
When he opened the engine it was completely destroyed inside. The bearing broke Into a million pieces and they fell inside of the engine.
It turned out to be an endless money pit.
He sold the car after he pulled the engine out to another sucker for 6 grand.
At least he made 3k for his troubles.
Welcome to the dark side Scotty. I love my Porsche
This tale of "handles like a race car and costs like one, too" reminds of a 1960's VW commercial. Two houses are shown the on the screen. (The one on the right is a broken-down log cabin, the one on the left, a stylish mansion.) Voiceover: "The man who lives in the house on the right owns a sports car. The man who lives on the house on the left is a sports car mechanic. Karmann Ghia."
Of course! If I was a millionaire RUclipsr I would buy a Porsche too!
If you got that rich, drive a friend's Model 3 before you buy the Porsche. If you're not rich, then whatever you do, don't drive a Tesla!
Michael Ball Tesla’s are nice but the batteries have a reputation of exploding in the summer heat or in crashes. I’m going to wait a couple of years until they innovate the batteries :)
Jonathan Stewart Why would I get a Tesla that only lasts 100,000, when I can get a 1994 Toyota Celica that can last 1,000,000 miles?
The fact he got a used one goes to show he’s still very reasonable. Not that expensive the cars 12 years old and he can work on it
Not like he bought a new gt3
“Sugar daddy” 😂
Ahh the check engine light, a feature that appears on all VW group cars after around 3 years.
You mean appears on every car?
@@mladenbro8435 12 year old Honda Odyssey running great check engine, only intermittent AC. Par for the course for the age. Probably getting new one next winter.

VW, they're pretty dirty cars. VW is the biggest cheating emissions company
@@josephmarsh8235 Yes, one of the most unethical corporates in the world. They cheated on emissions to get a head of the competition, while knowing they would be killing thousands per year due to increased risk of lung cancer.

Porsche - JD Power/Consumer Reports TOP most-reliable car, better than every American make today.
@@MichaelJames-lz7ni Honestly, I don't care so much about JD powers since they did something shady and they are paid-reviews... BUT, as with everything in life, any cars can be reliable provided a certain driver and ownership.
Just because certain cars are 'expensive' to fix, it doesn't mean we can't have fun while it works, right?!
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if Scotty become's Hoovie's official mechanic. I think they will have the best chemistry.
Jann Chavez that would be funny!
@6:28 Check engine light is visible !!! O' OOOOH, there goes another thousand bucks lol !!!
That's just for the diagnosis.
7:03 Why does the headliner have nails to hold it in place (if my eyes are correct)? 🤣🤣
@Aaryesh G Lol its falling down. Common german fault.
@@louvendran7273 Oh I see. It reminds me of 1980s Range Rovers (1st gens) that had the same problem.
The Texas heat is hard on headliners. The backing breaks down practically turns to dust and they start sagging.
Staples! My buddy did that to his old Dodge when headliner started to Sag.
Hehe, mine is the same :D. The headliner, don't have a Porsche :)).
Scotty bought himself a Porsche CAYMAN S now he can do some Porsche videos on upkeep and maintenance. Nice!
You can DIY all basic maintenance on the Porsche Cayman. That cover in the back hatch area comes off and provides access to the top of the engine.
The panel behind the seats is removed to gain access to the front of the engine. Pull the rear wheels and a liner panel to gain access to the heads/coil packs and spark plugs. Changing the oil is not that different than most other cars. Very affordable. The clutch, the IMS Bearing or some major catastrophe would be the only reasons to "drop the engine". One of the best kept secret mid-engine cars ever built.
Laughs in reliability
6:36 Scotty slows down for stop sign (insert laughing donkey here)
Yikes. Your comment made me notice that. Lol yeah slowed down a little bit for a stop sign. Just a little bit but not too much. I got a ticket once for going through a stop sign and I was going way way way slower than that. It was just a cop parked out of sight and waiting for people to come up to the stop sign and not have their wheels come to a completely perfect stop.
0:44 "...there's not much work room on theses babies!" 😆
happy 200th scotty!!
6:40 Scotty blows through stop sign....horse laugh!!!
Im surprised you dont invest in a lift for vehicles
He said mechanics get fat using lifts! Crawling under keeps him in shape, according to him.
@@FredTheLutinoCocatiel maybe because you eat too much or a lot of junk food?🤔
Scotty doesn't need a lift for cars. He needs a lift for those hefty checks from RUclips!
I never clicked so fast on a video before
6:00 hits the nail on the head. Hahaha
I love to see what you diagnosed and or repaired on the car
That would be a video worth watching
I had an '07 Cayman S... Bought it at 60k miles... Had it for 2 years as my daily driver... Traded it in at 80k miles (for a GTI) when we had a Baby... In 2 years, maintenance cost me about $3,000... $1,100 of which was replacing the Starter and battery because I let it sit for a month while I was out of town and died on me... That was the only issue I ever had with it.. Traded in for $3,500 less than my purchase price... So $3,500, plus $3,000 plus like $2,500 in sales tax ... So Net $9,000 to drive 20k miles on an 07 Cayman S... Not too bad really. About the same cost as a moderate lease option on a new car
That's a fair assessment ... I did leave out the whole "every day is a gamble that the IMS doesn't explode" thing
They share the same platform and engine... So I would think they're on par with reliability
Great info. This is EXACTLY like owning an airplane. If you think you are going to justify the thing by looking at a spreadsheet you are out of your mind. You buy and own it because you WANT it. Nothing else. Great video and discussion...especially the example of a 12 foot radiator hose....classic.
Happy Birthday 🥂! Scotty .
Rev up your birthday cake 🎂 !!!
How u know it's his birthday?
Sharath Nair I was reading the comments below.
finally spending some of that RUclips moneyyyy
For real. His net worth Is a over a couple million and he's finally spending a tiny fraction of that money.
Scotty: im making so much money i can just give cars away lol.
I do my own regular maintenance on my Cayman. I’ve never had to drop the engine. If I had to replace the headlight it’s not much more than any other modern sealed headlight unit. Parts are relatively easy to get online and at foreign car retailers. All the crap wrong with that car is b/c it has 145k miles, not b/c it’s a Porsche. Yes, some things are way more expensive partly just b/c they are a low volume mfg. but that’s true of any low volume car, there’s less parts made for repair so it will cost you. In 4 years I’ve only had to do regular oil changes, plugs, wipers etc., however, high performance tires wear out quick. That’s true of any sports car. Couldn’t disagree more on ownership of a Cayman. Have not experienced any “money pit” issues.
I've tried a Carrera 911 on a track the other day.... OMG!!!
And look in the backseat
THERE IS NO BACKSEAT HAHAHAHA😂😂😂😂😂
Love Scotty 🖒🖒
I noticed you spent a lot more time “test driving" this car😂😂
Scotty you have workrd had your whole life you should enjoy it!! Buy a Porsche.
6:38 "Scotty, do you know why I pulled you over?"
Scotty: "because I let you but while we're here are you aware of the endless money pit of a cruiser you're driving?"
im calling the cops
Scotty is the kind of guy who stops for a stop sign while he’s in the middle of the intersection
Owned an ‘06 987s. The S is NOT prone to IMS issues. Something to check, but NOT a big issue “in the s”. They are NOT difficult to service. You can get to the plugs and coil packs through the rear wheels. Remove them. Remove the fender liner. You are in. Behind the Seat is access to the serpentine belt. Remove the top cover to access the air filter. Bleeding brakes and pads is no harder than ANY car. Oil change is VERY easy. Sump plug under in rear. Back up on ramps and it is right there. Filter (in housing) also RIGHT there. This car has a buck and a half in mileage and it is running. Headliner/handle and door card are not expensive or hard to refurb. ANY car can need a windshield. Glass repair is not any different on a Por-sha...THAT is how you pronounce the name. Scottie doesn’t know ‘em so he rips ‘em. Whatever...I now own a 997 GTS. Best car I have ever experienced. Haters gonna hate. Ignorance is bliss. Keep ‘em take care of ‘em and they appreciate over time. A timeless design with a racing history and engineering excellence. Por-she: There is NO substitute.
I tuned in to hear my favorite words. Endless money pit. Amusing to me I must say.
Scotty just low key said he's got lots of monies! 😂
7,000,000 net worth? Wow
Suhail Shuaib even before RUclips, I’m sure Scotty said he was a millionaire from his mechanic businesses.
Take a shot Everytime he says " endless money pits"
I’ve got one of these cars. No cracks in windscreen and an 07 with 82k miles. Most bang for your buck if you want luxury performance and cool factor
And the air is ice cold!
If you want a bargain sports car that’s perfect for track and daily driving and give you a solid cool factor, you can go wrong with a C5 Corvette. Bullet proof little motors that pack more power than a standard cayman (like the one Scotty showed) and the torque is healthy. Plus I’ve seen them get pretty good gas mileage on the highway. V8, RWD, and a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution that weighs close to 3,200 pounds is a bargain when you can pick one up for $15k or $8k for a higher mileage one
I've been seeing Porsche's so much more frequently nowadays.
Same here in Houston. Just give it 2 years 😂😂
Many SUV's but not many 911's even here in southern California. My '14 911 carrera S has 43,xxx mi on it and no problems. It's no different from any other car, just gotta know how to use the machine. Perform regular oil change and always warm up the engine oil by driving it below 3,000rpm until the oil warms up.
3:47 LMAO scotty goes into slow motion
Scotty's glasses are too dark lol, he didn't even see the stop sign 😂😂
I owned a 1978 911SC for 16 years and drove it as an every day car for 8 of those years. Bought for 19500 in 1979 and sold it in 1997 for 12500. Car always drove like a champ and it was one the best vehicles ever for me. It more than paid for itself.
my 156,000 miles Boxster, apart regular maintenance, I had to change, the idle control valve and air oil separator myself, that's all
And! Since it's Mechanic Wednesday, I'm giving away a free endless money pit!
If they are so cheap, I would buy a few donor cars
6:39 🛑
Scotty : rev up your engines!!
A few moments later:🚔
That cover over the top of the engine is removable for access to the top of the engine. The rear lid also lifts extra high if you push it up hard enough, allowing you to climb in comfortably And wrench on the top of the engine. I do agree on the “Porsche tax” on parts and service, making a CPO used car a deal even though they are more expensive to buy. This is quote was originally applied to Bentleys, but it’s relevant here: “ If you can’t afford an expensive Porsche, there’s no way you can afford a cheap one!”
There's a panel behind the seats that can be removed, which gives better access to the engine.
Hey Scotty, it sounds like blew a cylinder over-revving it!😂😂😂
6:39 did he just ran a stop sign.
Lol
You can see him slow down before it. He doesn't stop like you're supposed to, but who does that if you can see everything and nothing's coming?
Maybe it's a bit stricter in the USA, I don't know.
At least in some states the rules say you only have to sufficiently slow down to proceed safely.
And since it's mechanic monday I'm giving away one of these Porsches..
I know a person who owns a 2014 s-class brand new from the dealership

He then took that report and took it to a german specialized well reputable garage, and they fixed the issues for LESS THAN $2K!!!!!
That is mostly because the dealership tends to replace parts instead of fixing/repairing them, at least in the UAE.
My 1989 928 S4 is the Porsche equivalent of a couch. Fast, smooth, and it can handle very well in the right hands. It isn't cheap to maintain but it isn't hard or expensive to do most maintenance on the car. The engine can even stay in during a head gasket replacement. A timing belt job costs about the same in parts as my A3 TDI does for perspective. Still goes just fine with 215k miles on it with routine maintenance keeping it going. Just be sure to replace any pressurized rubber line over 15 years old. They are a liability and can set the car on fire if they burst like any old car.
He spent 7 minutes explaining why you shouldn't buy one, but yet, he bought it. He rolled the stop sign too.

6:57 Custom thumb tack headliner!??! 😂👍🏻
Jonny DIY good catch! that is absolutely horrible!
"I have a lot of spare money to play around with fixing my car." Said no Scotty Kilmer subscriber ever!
I rented one that also had the check engine light on and it also still ran like a champ. I hit like 125 mph on the freeway
Honestly Scotty, my Base Boxster is relatively simple compared to most modern cars. The engine and transmission were developed to be dropped more easily than any conventional design. Heck, my Z28 was a mid front engine and the windshield had to be removed to get the engine out. There are DIY YT channels that are able to pull the transmission out to replace the clutch on 911s and Boxsters. I wouldn't recommend any Porsche for areas with 90% straight roads, like Houston. But after three years of weekend driving my Boxster in the Smokies outside of DC, I've only changed fluids. Now it's no Corolla or Camry (had several of each) but many of the parts cost about the same online. And there's a reason for the parts that cost more, they're more expensive, as in higher quality parts. I actually don't recommend Porsches to anyone, hehehe. I tell them Miata is always the answer. I have an NA, It's zippy and fun, but it has a sporty economy car feel and build quality. People are always crowning the Miata as better than the Z3, maybe in the four cylinder version. But my 95 MX5 doesn't have most of the creature comforts OR performance of my 97 Z3 six cylinder: 203 ft/lbs, traction control, heated seats, nor the same feel, the Z3 is a premium car in comparison; and you know it when you drive it. I think all the newer cars are for the rich only: electric steering, computers and modules throughout, etc.! They're the money pits! I still prefer manual everything in a sports/sporty car.
"Not for the faint hearted"
Come on Scotty, we've all played gran torismo
So did Clarkson, and trying to do the REAL Laguna Seca on an NSX, trying to beat his best time on GT4, always shat his pants and would slow down when the corkscrew came.
Every single video: "this isn't a toyota so its expensive"
For real
Happy Birthday Scotty!🍨🎂
thanks!
Scotty You’re welcome
As a Porsche owner I agree with everything he said. Either buy new or only used if you have a lift at home.
