As Ed would say “the hospital was a shrewd negotiator”
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Lmaoooo
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, best comment, exactly what he´d say...
“After shrewd negotiating on a letter, they dropped my charges of $48,000”
Omg i cantt😂😂
"Everyone was real nice, including the emergency room lady's daughter" 😂 Of course you did.
man his voice is deep that my speakers are getting a workout
So deep put her @$$ to sleep.
He's a smoker, that's mostly why he sounds like that
I got high grade razor headphones. the bass was rattling my fucken skull
Probably turn it down if its clipping. If that happens enough, it'll affect the speakers like that even at low volume. Its gradual, like death by 1000 cuts. Nobody likes roasted speakers.
Smokers for ya
That was not the surprise I was expecting at the end. Good stuff! That would have been quite a hole to climb out of. Maybe Ed called the hospital and negotiated on your behalf over the weekend.
Well the hospital representative was a shrewd negotiator...
Romeo Red that joke is never going to get old
Dang it! You beat me to it!
Damn you stole my joke.
Romeo Red 😂😂😂😂
Be a squid that drops his sport bike in like week 3. Disobey doctor's orders. Chat up some nurses. Write a nice letter... Free leg reconstruction...
I'm really wondering about my life decisions now.
+Dont believe everything you hear
Fugg Attahere I don't know what to believe anymore 😞
He is gay
He actually paid nothing, when I shattered my shoulder in NC on the ridges they hospital billed me at $53,000, i ended up pahing 0 because my boss at the time got one of the charities to pay it off, considering I was 21 with a child onthey way they saw it as putting me in finacial distress. Their are charities that will automatically cover anything under $70,000 if it is considered a major surgery
Lucky lol... had to pay mine 8k took me four years when I was 19
I love the way his stories come together. So many details and connections. Well told.
Gus Kipper I was gona say the same you beat me to it
666 likes...
I like rabbit the best. Ed is 2nd lol
STOP! You have violated the law, pay your fine or serve your sentence.
@rabbit is the best story teller ever!!!
Ed Bolian called this hospital and the management being a schrewd negotiator in the end agreed to his price
"I'm not shy and I'm always puttin' on a show" Words to live by. Amazing.
Russell Ullyatt i
Wow. How about that Corvette transformation?
Brett Bilger yeah this guy ruined it new owner made it sexy af
David Stevenson there’s also 12 years between those two vette pics. That was one the first cars much less corvettes tuckin’ 20” wheels all around.
here full video of restoration i think nits the same car th-cam.com/video/FKgoqwPQTI8/w-d-xo.html
So yeah...where's the corvette story...
what model corvette was it?
These comments are by far the most positive I have ever seen on any channel throughout the videos.
Rob and Ed are great story tellers
great story fabricators*
Lol do you honestly believe a nurse would give someone her daughter's number because he has a big dong? Also used car salesman are known to be the most truthful members of society:,D
Fuert Neigt he said he was out of there by monday, if hes willing to make up something so dumb the whole thing might as well be considered fake, neve trust someone who drives an automatic corvette😂😂😂😂😂
They are by far the best storytellers in this channel
one of the best stories in this channel this far ;)
zediogopg Right up there with Kimmy's Lambo
Ed Bolian Fan club true true i forgot about that one
Rob is such a good story teller!!!!
"I'd never stretched my ass across a motorcycle all my life"
That just cracked me up😂😂😂😂😂
$48,000 to $0...someone definitely pulled his credit
Nah, Ed called em up and they were SHREWD negotiators...
Or it’s not true lol. I tend to go with the simplest explanation.
@@DoggoWillink you do know stuff like this happens right? It's poor form to call bullshit without any supporting evidence of said bullshit beyond "you find it hard to believe."
Over 3 years, I negotiated from $150,000 to $800. I only paid the hospital that figured out what the actual problem was (Mayo Clinic). Since the biggest bill was from the hospital who gave me a staph infection while I was there looking for treatment for my actual problem (then wanted to be paid to treat the thing they caused), that one was rather easy to get written off. Throw in a few very weird negative comments from a couple other doctors & I only ended up paying what I felt like I should have. Yes I did have insurance.
Negotiations with hospitals are necessary. Insurance companies do it all the time. I'm not sure why more people don't do so.
@@DoggoWillink my brother burned himself and had to get skin grafts on a large portion of his side and back. His hospital bill was around half a million dollars. A large portion of it was paid by state health insurance because he was a minor, but my dad still ended up oweing about 230,000 dollars, he ended up paying around 75,000 in a payment plan and the rest was waived
Rob is up there with Ed for sure
Ed yesterday now Rob...Its a vinwiki christmas!
This one hit close to home.....1997 I laid a nearly new Harley down on a Friday evening and shattered my left leg. That leg is a better weather forecaster than Jim Cantore now.
I did something similar in 1994 on my Yamaha RD400. Now, I didn't break anything. My side bags saved my legs. They didn't save my jeans. And the leg was very bloody. It also has a tendency to forecast weather ever since.
Rob thank you for this story. November of last year (2017) I lost part of my left foot due to rolling my ankle while installing a hardtop on my jeep. I spent a week in a hospital and 8 weeks home hooked up to an IV for Antibiotics.
You hit the nail on the head when you said a little praise goes a long way. Like you, I was cracking jokes with nurses and doctors. But I was also a smartass(better than being a dumbass). After 8 weeks and healed up I started getting bills sent in. I noticed that insurance paid their part, but I only had small amounts. Each envelope I opened there was a little letter that said, "thank you for being a breath of fresh air".
I always tell people I'm an asshole but a nice asshole, and politeness and humor usually does the trick for me to get people to smile.
I like this guy and he tells good stories, but I don't think he gets that his looks are closer to Guy Fieri than James Bond
Jacob Kiser That's the secret, confidence not looks
You’d think it was Brad Pitt if you didn’t look at the video.
That's exactly why he is THE MAN !! :D
weatherman 37 Confidence. Not cockiness. His confidence in himself is attractive. 🤷🏼♀️
When the wallet is fatter than a size 52 belt you’ll find out it doesn’t matter
I have a simple rule I live by: “Don’t be a jerk”. It’s surprising how far this will get one in life... Corollary: “Always be nice to the food service personnel... remember, they are handling your food.” 😁
I've dated many woman in the food service industry....... The words you speak are so true.
How true that is we all need to think of what is good about the situation not what is bad and it seems like the positive thinking fixes negative every time.
Great video
It was nice of Rob to wear the pants from that day to make the story more vivid.
El Cheapo hahaha
lol
Damn you really got on his life.
I am sick of calling these videos "one of best stories". Channel name should be, best stories of the world
I know, I can't stop watching them. All these guys are great speakers as well.
Some people are just born with the gift of gab. I could listen to rob and Ed talk about nothing all day and still be entertained
Haven't started the video yet but god damn I know this is gunna be a good one. I could listen to this man tell the same story every day for the rest of my life and Ill still be excited to hear the ending every time. Yall need him on the show twice a week minimum lol.
No shit. I would like to hang out with this guy he seems cool as hell
Rob is a cool guy. Him and Ed tell the best stories. Ed's always got a very funny way of telling stories with a sort of way of implying things and leading the listener through, and Rob's got that deep, low, smoker's voice that's so laid back and he's got the funniest expressions and metaphors. Awesome story, Rob.
"I got things to do, let's put a cast on this thing and make it happen"
Rob, you are my idol
I've broken my tibia and fibula and had to get the same rod and screws in my leg. I remember feeling the same wheelchair bump pain, and they cut off my pants as well. Wasn't the funnest time in my life.
This guys charisma off the charts, much to learn from this man and not just cars.
Great story! I live in the same town and he is right, there are very compassionate and professional folks work in our hospital system here in Greenville SC. Guys, the golden rule still exists. Treat people right and it comes back. If I eat at a restaurant and I had good food and good service, I leave a great tip and track down the manager and tell them about it. Rob, you are a great example to young'ns. Thank you!
Dude I wrecked my 06 1000RR on July 4th, 2007. I wasn't a newbie but I ate it hard. Glad to see a fellow survivor
NJGhost34 lmfao my 94CBR600F2 blew a carburetor hose and started spraying me with gasoline while simultaneously smoking at 55 mph. I killed it dropped it at 30mph. Didn’t ignite no injuries lmfao.
He needs his own TH-cam channel. Holy cow, great story
Gotta love a squid story! Huge props for giving people the praise they deserve!
Can not lie I enjoy this guy and his stories. He’s up there with Ed on my favorites
Rob, your positivity and a good nature generated a good result. Being a character doesn't hurt either. Now I'm sure the good folks at the hospital are used to your Southern accent but in this video and with that voice of yours you make a dang good story teller, son. You are one charming rogue and I could listen to you tell stories all night. Glad it all worked out all right.
P.S.: Don't take the "son" part too personal. I'm a week away from 73 years so I've got a few on you. And I ride a '99 1100cc Yammie cruiser (460 lbs dry weight) on a set of stickies and they earn their keep. All in good fun....
Keep it sticky side down, and thanks for sharing.
Best regards from a Canadian. The part a couple of hundred miles east of northern Michigan. I'm 45 minutes from the Seaway if the right people are looking in the correct direction, namely away.
I had the hospital do that for me after I broke my neck and without it I would still be paying off over 140k in bills... It was a lifesaver that is for sure. And good nurses and doctors are hard to come by but when you have and need one its a great experience... My ICU Nurse was a savior...
Rabbit has returned!
I once had a doctor that was not that well liked by a lot of people. He was considered gruff, had bad bedside manor and so on... Psh, he was one of my favorite doctors, because even as a kid, he didn't dumb things down and gave things straight and to the point, and he did his job VERY well. It also helped being smart enough to understand and keep up with what he talked about and he did a great job of explaining anything I may not have understood right away. And, as you said, praise goes a long way.
I dig robs whole outlook on life. Such a happy go lucky kind of guy.........i'd never let him date my sister or drive my car, but he's an ok bloke.
We need more of ole rabbit
There's just something about the way Rob tells one of his stories. Just draws you in. Funny as hell too.
You're absolutely right! I've unfortunately spent a good deal of time in hospitals, and I'm hear to tell ya, a please, and especially thank you, goes a long towards a good experience!
I usually wake up on the wrong side of the bed and stressed out about work. Sometimes taking it out on people and feeling anxious, but stories like these make me reevaluate how I approach people. Thank you
This guy is awesome! The ending was truly touching!
I like this guy! he has some stories!
I'm a nurse (or a "murse" as some would call it) and those little thank yous make it all worth it. I go in see people in their worst time with 8-10 patient load (med-surg/ortho floor like the one Rob was probably on) I try to take my time with each patient, going out of the way to even grab a coffee or ginger ale will make someones day. We take those small things for granted at times. In all great story Rob!
Thanks for all you do !
He is a great story teller, love how he puts it all together. Way to go!
Hands down the best youtube channel!
They had just developed the nail procedure, and I was one of the first people that they used it on. Suzuki versus Toyota, Nov '84. But it was my right leg, top and bottom. Back then it was 6 weeks in the hospital. A real mixed bag. Some amazing staff, some incredibly incompetent. You definitely lucked out in your situation.
So true a little praise and kindness goes a long way
This guy is always on point . He has probably the best stories of all. Keep em coming!
Ed is number 1,this man is a very close second! Love them videos keep it up!!!
That story had everything in it. Way cool. I love this channel.
Might be my favorite VINwiki video yet. There's some good ones, but this one has a great message. You go Rob!
This guy is a legend at telling stories. Please feature more of him. That surprise was so unexpected, but well worth the wait.
He is absolutely brilliant at telling stories.i want to see more.
Man, when he was talking about his surgery, it made my leg hurt.
Lol same here
Rob has to have the best stories on this channel. Love listening to them.
I very rarely comment on videos here on TH-cam, but tonight I've commented more time than I have fingers and toes. The stories here are fantastic and yours is yet another sensational account. And I'll say, what a gracious and smart guy you are, and so genuine with your praise for the hospital staff. That kind of thing doesn't happen nearly enough these days. My hat's off to you!
this channel is so under rated, its so great!
This is gold. Thanks Rob!
What. A. Story. This guy is the best! Each one of his stories top the previous.
So so true, people the last 10-15 years have gotten so trigger happy when it comes to complaining that they have completely forgotten how to be polite and pay someone a compliment when they go above and beyond. I'm not saying you have to write a thank you letter to the person that sells you a load of 2x4's at the lumber yard, but if that person goes and automatically helps you load them up, secure everything, and basically go above their basic job description, then you should take a moment to at least acknowledge that and to many people just think that it is automatic, and that they are entitled to that level of service. Anyway, good story and yes take the time to praise when its note worthy
Rabbit is a first ballot hall of famer. Can’t get enough.
Last time I was this early, I still thought trust fund kids were legitimate successes in the car industry.
Which ones are trust fund kids ?
don’t disrespect the lemonade stand hustle
Trust fund kids make up 90% of the industry, people who came from nothing and worked hard don't spend their money. They hoard and invest it because they know how much work each dollar represents. Like the kind of guy who pays off everything including mortgage, has a cool million in his vanguard account, 2.5 years of emergency fund but can't bring himself to spend more than $35k on a car (which he'll keep for a decade). I know a lot of rich people, and only the ones who grew up rich or became rich fast spend money.

fordrac1ng81 sounds like a bunch of poor guys crying.... i can almost taste the tears
Dude I don't care what higher power you do or don't believe in, but they freaking love you. Bravo
This is great! Shows that it actually pays to give credit where credit is due. Great story; gave me chills!
titanium headers, exhaust...and titanium leg...nice... wat happened to the gsxr????
BHARATH.V Kumar repaired and sold shortly afterward.
Damn, well I'm still deadest on NOT ever riding a motorcycle, and two, what a story. You were saved $48K just for being nice, wow. That is one hell of a thing to live by.
SuperSaiyan3985 been riding since I was a child, but gear on every time. Can't fix ego... lol
I knew where the story was going when he said GSXR.
aaaaand you have a anime picture, not really suprising huh
That was such an honest video and not the ending I expected! This is funny and heartwarming ❤️
Thank you, VINwiki for these amazing stories. And thank you Rob!
he just has that southern kind and friendliness that makes me mis living in America. and he's a hell of a story teller. Plz make a audiobook :P
He owned an automatic Corvette!?!? Smh 😂
You mean owns, it did show a current picture of the corvette.
Hey, I own an automatic '90. It's still a damn Corvette and it's still fun as fuck!
Better than what? Automatic is not a drivers car.
You wouldn't, you have to be a driver to understand. It may be enjoyable to you, but an automatic sports car has no point. It's your life, if you are happy with a sports car that's an automatic, you'll probably be a good candidate for a driverless car, which they will have soon.
FullSpectrum Survivalist or maybe people like to not have to shift manually? I haven’t owned a manual car I’m only 16 and I hope that my first car is a manual, I’d love to learn it and drive one, but I currently drive an automatic and it’s not a sports car but my friends at school have automatic cars like one of my friends has an awesome evo that’s an auto and my other friend has a mustang that’s an automatic. I never give them shit for it because I drive one myself but I don’t think you have to drive a manual for it to be a “drivers car” it’s just personal preference and what you learned and your parents are comfortable with you owning
This is the best story I have heard so far, man knows how to tell a story.
Definitely one of the best alongside you ED! Phenomenal story teller!
It was the janitor lady. She paid for it
Lmao blackberry and the grandma story was the best
I tried the same line when I was in the hospital after an accident Rob...I brought all the ladies to their knees...in laughter!
Great attitude, wonderful personality. Wish more people like you!
I have been in the hospital more times than I can count from numerous motorcycles and dirt bike crashes. From broken skull to broken back to every bone in both shoulders and about 10 more. My longest stay was 33 days and included 5 surgeries. I’m always the exact same way, I’m always laughing and joking and becoming the class clown of the floor. You get much better treatment, the nurses look forward to coming and seeing you, everyone wants to do everything they can to help you in anyway possible, and instead of it being a miserable experience like most people make it, it can actually be a great/fun experience that you walk away from with new friends you never had.
Great way to wake up! New video!!!
A great crash tale but.... the appropriate use simple words like "thank you very much" and the consequences make this possibly the best VinWiki story ever! Thanks for telling it and good for you!
I always love listening to his stories!! That corvette was gorgeous then and still is today!!!
This is like Ted Talks but for cars.
We heard that comparison for the first time this week, it is an interesting notion and might give us some guidance on ways to expand the format.
Rob is awesome. Love his stories
Dutch Mill - I feel a book coming on...
Mark, maaaaan I would buy that book
I can listen to your stories for hours keep them coming brother
Almost teared up at the end there Rob. what a wonderful story. when i got hit off my R6 by a minivan who ran a red light, the hospital staff was not nice like that. the EMTs were pretty cool though. im glad you thanked them. thats wonderful that they cleared your bill. wow.
Rabbit is the man! I always love your stories!
I had the same procedure 20 years ago. Missing a chunk of bone in my right tibia. I also got my bill paid for anonymously. Although it was a lot less.
I have told so many people, and still do, that a smile, a good behavor and being nice to those around you always pays off
this story actually made me cry a a little. I was also in a motorcycle accident and have a titanium rod in my leg. great story man
I could listen to this guy and Ed tell stories all damn day...lol 👍🏼👍🏼
I want to buy this man a pack of smokes, great story!
He's already got Marlboro Reds in his back pocket.
R. Hope it ain’t his back pocket. They’ll get crushed back there when he sits down.
I absolutely love watching this channel. I wish you guys the best in expanding your platform as best as possible. I'll do my part by asking my friends to watch it.
Man what an amazing and heart-warming story, actually gave me chills at the end!
I have not been a fan of his other stories, but this one is great!
Very good story. What a great guy
Being ah blessing to others, always seems to send one your way. Especially when your "HEARTS"in the right place. 😊
Its nice to see a nice comment net a nice thing. Not enough of that going around. I regularly throw out service tickets for the grandmas and the struggling care takers. Probably would not have thrown out yours, but you probably wont miss that hundred bucks. A few times I’ve had calls “you helped out my grand mother and i would have covered it. Would you like first ups on this strip mall or restaurant. “ the payback for a life of honest work is a life of honest work. I hope you never forget that gift and your gifted to return it where needed.
