Ed Bolian hey Ed, could you make a video explaining why your lambo took 10 months to paint. Yes it will be a video about paint drying but I think most people would be interested in the level of quality that exotic car paint is compared to a mass produced bmw for example.
he's like that one professor that is just the right amount of monotone to where everything he says just sounds correct and thought provoking, and the way he carries himself just makes people absorb every word
Was talking to my my camera guy yesterday about the collector cars in my collection. He looks at the inside of my 1969 Corvette and asks Hows the stereo? I replied I have no clue . Then I cranked it up listening to that engine rumble is the best damn tune I've ever heard. I look for comfort is in couches and mattresses . Fun is in cars that send you to the chiropractor for an adjustment on a weekly basis. lol . Great Vid as always Ed !
I came here to say that i'd daily the Bisimoto minivan before a Lambo. I can't drink a juice box and watch Peppa Pig in the back seat with my best friend in a Lambo
Chris Estill Does your best friend also take up the whole bench? Might be why you can’t daily drive with him around In my humble opinion, having the Bisimoto Odyssey and beating exotic cars in a straight line wouldn’t be as satisfying, but it would if the minivan was also track oriented.
Drove by one in the gym parking lot, first thing I noticed was its front rotors were the size of my wheels. And just looking at it for a second I thought, it's not good looking but at the same time it's amazing looking... yeah I would rock it.
Till the frist service Trust me I would to it like in high school doing burnout till your parents make you but the frist set those burnout don't last quite as long
While not the most exotic, I daily drove an NSX for over a year through LA traffic, nights out, and even getting groceries. The funny bits about friends asking if your car can make it into certain garages, or even making mundane commutes a bit more exciting, are all relatable. Life’s too short to avoid putting miles on a nice car. In the case of my Acura, that thing would probably outlive me if it continued to be well maintained.
The fastest honda motorcycle on the showroom floor will run 100,000 miles without major repair A comparable Ducati 20,000 miles its gonna need major surgery.
@@relate97 the old triumph 650 from the 60s 10 to 12 thousand miles done .crank rebuild . My point was . Ducati and Ferrari are gonna need more matinacence and sevice than Honda because of the way they're built your alot less likely to need a tow truck with an nsx than a laferrari if you drive it all the time.
I want someone to make a YTP that features Ed just answering yes or no questions using that clip “Hey Ed, do you think cancelling the Volkswagen Beetle was the right decision?” “No”
10:41 "McLaren notwithstanding". I know anecdotes are practically worthless, and even more so when they come from anon guys over the Internet but let me just say this for what it's worth. I bought my single previous owner McLaren 12C exactly 6 years old with about 10,000km (6000 miles) on the clock. The previous owner didn't drive it much, but it was trouble-free. I've driven it for 1 year and 5 months to the day and put another 15,000km (9000 miles) on it. It's daily driven (unfortunately stop-go traffic with short trips is the norm as I live in Singapore), and I also use it for driving up to Malaysia including highway blasts, B road drives and track days at the Sepang former F1 circuit. A big knock on wood moment here - but the car has been flawless. Completely trouble free. I've still maintained the warranty with McLaren Singapore (and it's very expensive) but the car has needed practically nothing other than routine oil and gearbox servicing and tyre changes. It's the best exotic I've ever owned and I love it. I've never had a Lambo (am considering an Aventador for my next car) but for what it's worth, here's my experience with other exotics. A Ferrari F430 with the paddles I had a few years back was also daily driven by I gave it up after only 3 months because it kept giving error codes (even though the PPI was fine and the car had been maintained). I also hated the gearbox in that car. Given the ridiculous policies in Singapore, I had to export the car after it reached ten years of age, so I cut my losses and did just that I actually made a bit of money on the trade for a new Merc AMG GT. Not sure if that would be considered an exotic, but it gave gearbox errors right out the box (needed a recode) and a fuel rail issue later (needed replacement under warranty). My 911 which I had a few years back gave non - stop issues with the soft top and the final straw came with a brake master cylinder failure. Long story short: my McLaren has been the most enjoyable and reliable exotic/supercar to date. Now let's hope I haven't jinxed anything! 😂
The minute he said "sort of" I immediately thought the previous owner died in the car. The emphasis on overly cleaned smell made me realize just how, though. But I don't mean to make light of it. Being someone who has dealt with suicidal ideology through out most of my adult life, I can say with certainty that it is no fun. Although, it was a funny story, I do have to admit.
Benson You caught on faster than I did! And as far suicidal ideals go I think we may share just a tad bit of that dark side humor as a aftertaste from those times. Glad to hear you’re doing better!
Ed this was beautiful. You really put into words what I have trouble explaining to the non “car” people in my life. Granted I dont drive something as amazing as a lambo but my E92 M3 is a blast. It comes with waaay more issues than a more practical car but the feeling of it is worth every penny.

The last line is the most important! Whatever car you drive make sure when you handover the keys you don’t regret a thing! Thank you Ed for your knowledge and experiences that we all hope to one day understand as well as you!
It's weird to hear someone say "drive as much as possible" about an exotic car, having grown up with a father who mourned the loss in value from every kilometer on a VW Sharan or Touran.....
I daily a 2010 E63 AMG and it is hands down one of the best daily drivers I think. You get all the pros that you think and the only cons really are minor. Parts are slightly more expensive, and preventive maintenance is always a good idea if you want it to be nearly Japanese reliable. If you do all the maintenance yourself you have nothing to worry about.
I drive a 70 challenger RT , gets about 7mpg and if am lucky I ll get to the destination without it braking on me , on my last drive the throttle cable broke and the car got stuck in full throttle in the heat of traffic , with all that said , it’s always a experience an adventure with I drive that car ..
Those are motorcycles tho. Easy to park. And it doesn't really have any disadvantage. Ya can't have more than 2 people in a Lambo, you can't park next to other cars, it's not as confortable, Gas is much more expensive, and if you're in my country you'd get a fine for driving over 120km/h
Ed Bolian , I feel like you were just standing in the pulpit preaching of automobile masochism. Is there a support group for this sort of thing? I have the mechanics version of this automotive disorder, as I still do retain my B5 S4. Admittedly, there may be a small, more reliable DD fleet to accompany it. Worthy to note it is the most reliable B5 in the nation. Only 1 engine out in 130,000mi. Call Guinness!
This is a great explanation of why we do what we do as car guys. Well done as always Ed. I got my 1986 Z31 back in November and just finished taking it on a 12,000 mile road trip around the country. It's about the adventure, the enjoyment of driving the car, the mystery of what will need fixed next, and just seeing if the old man can still jump in and run with the best. If i had taken my delivery car, my subaru, (5mt '08 impreza) sure it can be fun at times, but i would have been bored to death the first couple thousand miles and would just stop there. It's not about what's out there that's the most practical, it's about what is out there that's most enjoyable to drive.
It's an interesting experiment, but you're better off with something that was created as a daily driver with some power under the hood, like an Audi RS6 Avant.
Love these videos, Ed. They've really brought to life my thoughts about being a car guy that I've never been able to quite explain to my non-car guy friends.
This is the first time I've come across Ed's videos and after watching this it's clear that Ed is a naturally gifted speaker. I've picked up just as much on effective speaking structures from this video as what it's like to have a lambo as an everyday car.
For many years I rode a pretty uncompromising sports bike with enough noise to give me permanent tinnitus, hard suspension, sky high footpegs and a long reach to the handlebars like it was built for someone with a jockey's legs and a swimmer's arms. I also owned a rock solid, comfy Camry. Rain, hail or shine, I'd take the bike over the car whenever it was humanly possible, including a cross country road trip. I totally get the idea of motoring masochism.
Love the pics of the LP. I have done the same thing with a few of my other cars and put them in an album. It's great to look at them years later and say, "remember when we did...."
The joy in cars is driving them, not just owning them. I'll probably never own an AMG GT but if I did, I would daily it for sure...maybe even in the Canadian winter haha
I love this. I'm a rock crawler, Jeep, Yota, or big diesel pick up guy but appreciate every bit of anything automotive. All of my rigs are geared to crawl, sould axle, fuel guzzlers, etc. When Ed made the list of cons vs pros they were almost the same even though they couldn't be on further ends of the spectrum. But my love for them are the same and actually I'd like to have my fleet of 7 plus his. Love this channel
I like this guy, a proper fellow petrol head. And a fantastic explanation as to the whole reason I can not buy a normal everyday car. Almost envious of those people that can. you either get it or you don’t and most don’t haha.
Loved every single thing about this video and agree fully! I daily drove my MK4 Supra, obviously not even close to the same thing as an exotic but one of the cars that many people who own them tend not to drive, as it was one of my biggest dream accomplishments especially at my age, I couldn't imagine not driving it as much as possible, as of lately I've been daily driving my Evo 8 since it gets a little bit better gas mileage and is less likely to get pulled over here in southern California but when I get my first exotic I'll be sure to remember this video 🙏🏽
No, you can drive daily if you want, but it's hot made for that. Also, the guy doing the maintenance made some mistakes and we had to replace the wiring harness, which costs a ton.
Automotive-masochist is a person who derives gratification from being subjected to physical discomfort and the public exhibition of this discomfort. I am with you 100% Ed. Be happy, be safe
I daily drive an Autozam AZ-1... It's my FIRST car and it's my ONLY car. Raked up 19.000 kilometres in less than two years. I can relate to a lot of the things Ed says, except for the "is it easy to park" and "does it have good gas milage" questions - the AZ-1 fits everywhere and has better fuel economy than most modern cars. But most importantly - it gives me a huge smile EVERY time I drive it. So yes, daily drive your exotic car and do it NOW!
Start in Facebook marketplace. Buy something cheap, fix it, sell it for more than you bought and fixed it for, and keep doing it until you have Lambo money
Louis Subearth Flipping cars is harder then it sounds, cars are not fully predictable, one unaccounted for item can cost you all your profits. As well I’m from the rust belt of Canada, used cars here often need more then their value in parts alone to make them safe and reliable. (parts cost a lot more here too) I’ll stick to making youtube videos, maybe one day that’ll give me the chance to at least drive some of those exotics.
Appreciate the talk! As someone who tries to commute as much as possible by motorcycle, what you say about choosing the experience over convenience applies in spades.
I can appreciate this. You buy a car to drive it. I recently went back to a manual transmission because I got bored driving an automatic. If I had access to a supercar I would drive the wheels off it just for the excitement.
My name is Ed and I am an automotive masochist.

In my humble opinion, having the Bisimoto Odyssey and beating exotic cars in a straight line wouldn’t be as satisfying, but it would if the minivan was also track oriented.
And that's why the Lamborghini Urus exists.
More practical because of room but not because of gas mileage or price
Moce that’s not why at all

Dominic Vega it's already 4 pm in Europe, wake up Bro
CzarodziejEizenhaim ok? Shut the fuck up god damn.
I daily drove a Gallardo for almost all of 2018. 360 for all of 2017. Now on an r8, not nearly as bad as you’d think if you love cars.
The doug score is the only bit of automotive journalism i trust anymore.
Wow that red murcielago was really something else. Absolutely beautiful
Lambo and a Porsche in the garage. Sweet. Someday i hope
The joy in cars is driving them, not just owning them. I'll probably never own an AMG GT but if I did, I would daily it for sure...maybe even in the Canadian winter haha
I would sell a kidney if I could daily Ed's 993. An air-cooled 911 is my idea the perfect fun to drive daily.
Toss the nuts off for insurance.
This is an excellent essay on ‘why performance vehicles are interesting’. I should have this video ready next time someone asks why I do what I do
Didn't know about Autotempest. Will give it a try. Thanks
This guys salesmanship is through the roof !! Wow . Salute
This is why I love Audi RS Wagons - For me, it's as close as it gets to having your cake and eating it too.
Why not mercedes wagons?
I love this. I'm a rock crawler, Jeep, Yota, or big diesel pick up guy but appreciate every bit of anything automotive. All of my rigs are geared to crawl, sould axle, fuel guzzlers, etc. When Ed made the list of cons vs pros they were almost the same even though they couldn't be on further ends of the spectrum. But my love for them are the same and actually I'd like to have my fleet of 7 plus his. Love this channel
Thanks for this video. Needed to know this before buying myself my a lamborghini.
I like this guy, a proper fellow petrol head. And a fantastic explanation as to the whole reason I can not buy a normal everyday car. Almost envious of those people that can. you either get it or you don’t and most don’t haha.
There's a few guys here in Alberta Canada that drive their lambos year round. We have 6-7 months of winter each year.
We've got a few Porsche guys doing the same in SK. Love to see them.
That is amazing!
I see Canadians driving their damn winters tires all summer
I’m so excited for tomorrow’s video with Shmee
Morgan Freeman, David Attenborough, and now Ed Bolian.
Spotted my car at 9:42! Highest mileage GT3 Touring! Definitely agree with how you broke this down!
Ed back at it again with the lambro stories
Loved every single thing about this video and agree fully! I daily drove my MK4 Supra, obviously not even close to the same thing as an exotic but one of the cars that many people who own them tend not to drive, as it was one of my biggest dream accomplishments especially at my age, I couldn't imagine not driving it as much as possible, as of lately I've been daily driving my Evo 8 since it gets a little bit better gas mileage and is less likely to get pulled over here in southern California but when I get my first exotic I'll be sure to remember this video 🙏🏽
I daily drove an Aventador for 15 months. Had $40k in maintenance.
Fernando Weberich fuckkkk that, that’s whole new Benz
Aventador is basically a sports/ racing car only right?
No, you can drive daily if you want, but it's hot made for that. Also, the guy doing the maintenance made some mistakes and we had to replace the wiring harness, which costs a ton.
Fernando Weberich well damn that sucks 🤣 but which lambo do u think would be best to daily drive
@@BLTGVon Huracan.
Great perspective on ownership of any good. Love your channel thanks Ed and the rest of the team
In summary: “No, but Ed still does it bc it’s fun as hell”
Ed keep killing it with your story telling!!
300k mile Lambo on original engine and gearbox ;) Someones gotta do it but thats not me, I got a 300k mile Honda Accord with F18A engine :D
Automotive-masochist is a person who derives gratification from being subjected to physical discomfort and the public exhibition of this discomfort. I am with you 100% Ed. Be happy, be safe
Ed's string of "No"s needs to become a thing :)
I agree with you. I used my Lotus Esprit SE as my daily for 3 years and loved each moment even when bits broke and required the AA to get me home
Me: Is that a valid concern?
Ed: NO
I daily drive an Autozam AZ-1... It's my FIRST car and it's my ONLY car. Raked up 19.000 kilometres in less than two years. I can relate to a lot of the things Ed says, except for the "is it easy to park" and "does it have good gas milage" questions - the AZ-1 fits everywhere and has better fuel economy than most modern cars. But most importantly - it gives me a huge smile EVERY time I drive it. So yes, daily drive your exotic car and do it NOW!
Can someone make a video of everytime Ed has said "S H R E W D"
Probably more times than Jesse Pinkman said "bitch" in Breaking Bad, but not as much as Goofy saying "gorsh" anywhere he's featured
Most important thing I have watched his week. Thanks.
So you're saying I need to daily an exotic. Got it. Didn't hear a single bad word about it in this video.
Ed, you have impeccable vocabulary.
I like your outlook on this Ed... Now I just gotta figure out how to afford a Lambo lol!
Start in Facebook marketplace. Buy something cheap, fix it, sell it for more than you bought and fixed it for, and keep doing it until you have Lambo money
Louis Subearth Flipping cars is harder then it sounds, cars are not fully predictable, one unaccounted for item can cost you all your profits. As well I’m from the rust belt of Canada, used cars here often need more then their value in parts alone to make them safe and reliable. (parts cost a lot more here too) I’ll stick to making youtube videos, maybe one day that’ll give me the chance to at least drive some of those exotics.
@@CarswithNash It doesn't have to be cars. Any valuable item that may have cheap fixes could serve you as a starting point.
Daily drove carburated methonal powered semi peripheral port 83 rx7 for a month. Ratchet shifter and 2200 rpm idle made me smile like a look.
2 daily drivers went down only had drag car to commute from salt lake city, UT to lehi , UT.
Love watching vin wiki grow, been here since 10k subs :)
Thanks for coming along for the ride!
Love the video!
I daily drove my C7 Z06 manual for 3 years...loved it!
Appreciate the talk! As someone who tries to commute as much as possible by motorcycle, what you say about choosing the experience over convenience applies in spades.
I can appreciate this. You buy a car to drive it. I recently went back to a manual transmission because I got bored driving an automatic. If I had access to a supercar I would drive the wheels off it just for the excitement.
