In this episode of Hoovies Garage, the team dives headfirst into the world of a 2008 Shelby GT500, a beast with a staggering 210,000 miles on the clock. Despite its age, this car roars to life with nearly 600 horsepower at the wheels, leaving everyone in awe. As they take it to the car wizard for some much-needed TLC, issues like a persistent check engine light and a rattling mirror come to light, adding a touch of drama to the mix. The GT500 is compared to a Viper, with discussions veering into the realm of ambient lighting and unique features that make this car stand out from the crowd.

Delving under the hood, the team uncovers the secrets of the VMP supercharger and delves into potential belt problems, shedding light on the inner workings of this automotive marvel. A detour into the realm of data privacy with a message from Aura adds a modern twist to the proceedings, showcasing the importance of safeguarding personal information in today's digital age. The car wizard's inspection reveals front-end issues, battery discrepancies, and air filter concerns, painting a picture of a car that has seen its fair share of battles on the road.

As the team tackles the GT500's check engine light related to an EVAP system leak, they also provide glimpses into other ongoing projects in the garage, including a Ferrari engine rebuild and various car repairs. The challenges of working on older vehicles are discussed, highlighting the importance of passing down knowledge to future generations to keep these automotive legends alive. A deep dive into the GT500's carburetor woes due to leaded gasoline residue adds a nostalgic touch, while plans for brake and exhaust work on the car hint at a bright future ahead. Inspecting the GT500's suspension, the team identifies sway bar bushings as potential culprits for the rattling, promising a smooth ride once these issues are ironed out.
