- Ed always dreamed of owning a Ruf car. When he finally got the chance, it didn't live up to the expectation.

"Got to about 186mph so I was disappointed" Best line ever.
lol Well, you get an expectation in your mind & it's disappointing when something falls short. Back in the late 80's my aunt had a Mercedes Hammer that was supposed to hit 185+. My cousin & I got it to a track & measured it at 171.72. That was still an amazing number for the 80's but we had our hearts set on 185 & it fell far short of that.
@@shananagans5 give it a performance exhaust and better tires.
@@shananagans5 you can hit those numbers with a stock car, but those advertised are best possible condition for the stock engine.
Yeah but when this car should've had a top speed of 228 mph, you are disappointed
Any time Ed says "shrewd negotiator" you know it's going to be good...
Yeah that has to be his two favorite words
If I had teachers that spoke the way Ed does I would’ve loved waking up and going to school for 8 hours a day
Should I be a professor?
Ed Bolian come teach economics or business practices haha
Amen..... Yes Ed. Please be a professor
Thing is, Ed's telling a story that actually happened, which makes for a much more linear flow... as opposed to the tripe those hacks were trying to feed us from the script.
I’m guilty of putting Ed on at night so he can talk me to sleep. I don’t care if it’s awkward.
This is the only channel where I never find myself clicking out of the videos before they are done. 11 minutes and totally satisfied.
P WrightisRight It’s like movie night for me
I even stick around for the ad jingle.
That's what she said!
It seems all my cars are my worst cars...and none of them profitable. I'm not sure I'm doing this right.
Love your channel!
Same.
😂😂😂
Tavarish You should ask ed if he would mentor you. I’d give anything to have a chance like that. Hell I’d be his personal assistant/security if he’d let me haha
Tavarish ummmmm ya we’ve seen what you think is “ok”
"I was only able to get it to go 185mph" XD oh man, gotta love Ed, the stories and the cars!
Said like that is part of the daily routine.
This is the smoothest fucking guy I've ever listened to
over 180 on a pubic highway, little bumps probably were magnified while going that fast
Saul Espino You don't notice bumps at that speed.
iLupi I know the turnpike too so to hear him say that had me going LMAO
"the wheels/tires were junk and leaking" next sentence, "i did have it up to 182 on the drive home."
Lol! I know someone that bought an 87 5.0 mustang that had been sitting in a barn on jackstands since 1993 and had it up to well over 100 mph on at newest 1993 tires!
The shrewd negotiator line gets me every time love Ed Bolian
Niall Mahony sameeee
I didnt realize alot of people said Shrude Negotiator. I did to
It was a very special car but it didn't do it for me. Fortunately, I think the dealer I sold it to did pretty well with it. They drove it over 1k miles before selling it so they had some fun and he addressed the suspension and hp issues that I disclosed to him when he bought it. Can't wait to see where it turns up.
Noice
"And it's one of those times you look in the mirror and you go 'Ed, why are you like this?" totally me when I start looking at Mitsubishi Evos (Had 5 already). Seriously lol'd at my desk.
Ed Bolian have you ever thought about running a pickup truck in a race like the 2904? You could put a large enough in bed fuel tank to drive all the way across without fuel stops.
M T he never said any such thing
Ed Bolian You da man ed haha keep up the stories I already subbed to you and vinwiki
When you say your brother do you mean your twin brother real estate agent that you remodel houses with on HGTV?
When you see it...
I get that a lot. Not a property brother.
Clint Gliford holy shit now I cant stop thinking about it
Hahaha holy shit on a bagel I never woulda thought that not only does he sell cars, but properties to. You gotta start a VIN wiki for homes now, we shall call it "homewiki" a channel for crazy home selling situations.i get royalties for the idea message me for my info.
Well, that'll be stuck in my head now every time I see Ed's videos🤣
Ed story in the morning. It’s like a smooth latte on a winter day.
VinWiki is killing the TH-cam game! I love the daily uploads the content is great and your uploads are reliable
I've always wanted a modded turbo!
superspeedersRob fancy seeing you here 😅😅😅, lots of love for your content though😊
Today Mr Spaghetti wants some modified pasta..
ayee all the other car youtubers are here lol!
you sold all your other expensive cars why not?
Ed, if you drove my ruf gt2 or ever bought it (unfortunately wasn't selling every time you asked lol) you would've LOVED that setup!
Funny how that works out sometimes, good video!
Hi Thatdudeinblue
Q
I love it when Ed says .” he was shrewd negotiator”
Does anyone else wonder how many stories Ed has? He has been going strong for months.
they have a playlist with just eds stories
"Ed ,why are you like this" 😂😂😂 Don't worry Ed. I ask myself the same thing every day.
Two Murcis would be awesome.
I legit can't stop watching these videos.
Thanks! Help us spread the word so we can continue to grow.
Me too
I have driven the original Yellowbird. That particular car owned its hero status like a legend.
Jonas Sahlstrom wow! That would be a hell of a thing to check off a bucket list! I’m jealous!
"I was only able to get it to 182-185 on the turnpike so I was a bit disappointed"
bruh...
I swear I saw this car more than a few times when you owned it. I used to work in Duluth, and live in JC, I'd swear I saw it on 141 in the JC/Duluth area, as well as going down 400 one day. I've got a pic somewhere. I'd guess it had to be you, because it still had the "RUF" plate at the time.
Yes. I live in that area.
When I heard that opener I knew we were in for a winner.
That Murcielago mirror shot of the Performante is fire!
Lambo on fire? Where???
Ed, please get a license plate for one of your cars that reads, "SHREWD" thank you haha.
What a terrific idea.
If you follow through, be sure to show it in a video!
Ed "The Narrator" Bolian with another great story!! I remember RUF cars in Gran Turismo 2, so that took me back to my high school days. Glad that you made a hefty profit on that disaster of a car!
I really love that you do not prounce it "rough" like vehiclevirgins, you prounce it right. Thanks for the great videos.
Regards from Munich

"This was right around the time of Volkswagon DieselGate so I knew Bosch was up to the task"
Ed Bolian kills me hahah Every. Single. Time
I’m a simple man. I hear Ed telling a story on y’all’s channel I click 👍🏻 keep it mr Bolian you fantastic sob
Trevor De La Rosa it's kinda eds channel but I agree ed is awesome
I once bought a old datsun from a police auction for $50 after fees
I parked it at my house, a van backed into it. Her insurance came over (allstate) and said it would cost more to fix that it's worth, I said any running car is worth $500 and I could fix it for that. He cut me a $500 check on the spot.
I sold the car 2 weeks later for $500 and financed $400 of it, repossessed it 6 months later, sold it for $500 again, repossessed it 3 months later. Sold it to my neighbor who wanted to know if it floats.... $250 cash and he sank it. Loved that old car. Hahaha
Wow really?
@@warriorharj79 seriously, yes.
@@robertrutherford9057 wow man, did you feel bad for the repossession?
@@warriorharj79 I did till the dude's brother offered me $250. Lol
@@robertrutherford9057 Super win!
"I just never fell in love with it" ...i had a 96 viper a few years ago and people always say why did you sell that car and I never could put into words as to why I sold it, now I can. Thank you for that!
Hell of a story teller. He should be narrating commercials in hollywood. Unique voice.
“Sometimes you never know until you meet your heros what they’re actually gonna be like”
“This was around the time of “diesel-gate” so I knew Bosch was up to the task.....”
Best lines of 2018. Hands down 😂😂
Ed is a living legend
Jordan Hubbard He's telling stories left and right mate.
Been a huge Ruf fan since I ever got into cars. Always keen to pick up on tidbits. Thank you for this vid!
I really enjoy the way you tell stories. You’re such an eloquent and concise and don’t dramatize for effect. It’s refreshing that u aren’t blowing smoke and patting yourself on the back for being smarter and more clever than everybody. 😁👍 Keep up the great work, just found your channel this AM and I’ve already watched 14 or 15 videos! Oh I forgot, I also enjoy your guest hosts. They seem like good, down to earth ppl. Cheers 🥂
Ed has dealt with a lot of shrewd negotiators.
That was an insane flip!!!
Ed, you are awesome. You are the Dr. House of high performance car info.
I just saw on road and track your RUF porsche is for sale at a dealer in my home town of dallas. what a small world. Just wanted to say you did a great job in fixing/restoring it.
Great videos! I've never gotten bored while watching your videos and I love the quality and consistency.
Ed is a very good story teller. He doesn't say UM and his stories are short and concise!!
"Shrewd negotiator" - Ed Bolian
I have only seen one RUF in my life. It was just sitting in a parking lot and was amazing.
Ed is my favorite guy in these videos!!! always looking forward to listening to your stories on here!!!
The car probably was great once upon a time, but sitting so long, it probably lost a lot of its flavor.
"I was only able to get it to 182 mph on the turnpike!" Damn I cant imagine driving a car that fast on anything but a track!
I wellcome you to the German Autobahn😀Regards from Germany
This is so true, Once I bought a Audi A3 1.8T from 1998 for 350 euro’s with a broken waterpump. Repaired it, and detailed the exterior, repainted the rims and brakes and changed the radio. When I had the car on jacks I saw a titanium sport-catback. Removed it, cleaned it and sold it on the Dutch marketplace for 700 euro’s. Swaped it for a stainless steel one. I placed the car on the marketplace and sold it for 2650 euro’s. Sold it for a total of 3350 euro’s made around 2900 euro’s. (Btw it was my first car).
I love Ed's stories, I could listen to him literally all day.
I live in and have sold "exotic" cars here in Austin since 2006, we have a couple of RUFs running around town here.
Man l would love to own one of these 2006 Porsche 911 Ruf. The specs on paper is music to my ears at a party. 😃😁👍💯
I've owned 47 cars and several exotics, sold cars and even raced cars competively at one point and I know 0 compared to Ed. Best Channel on You Tube if you are a real car guy.
The crazy ones are always the most expensive. Cars, i was talking cars... or wives, whatever.
Yeah and the crazy ones are the best ones to drive.........
well for a while,....not permanently. 🤭
Lmao! This is so true.
This guy is awesome, the countless amount of hours spent watching vin wiki and Ed. Best way to bock out the wifes convo
I think Ed's favorite saying is "He was a shrewd negotiator!" LOL
Such great stories and story telling Ed.
Everytime I hear the word "shrewd", Ed Bolian comes to mind.
Just when you think you heard the best Vinwiki car story ....Ed comes up with another, seriously how one guy can have so many cool stories? Keep em coming!
Ah so my eyes didn't deceive me in the thumbnail it was a Ruf!
Good eye

VinWIKI needs to make a shirt that says “Shrewd Negotiator”.
For the last time, please give him a podcast. I could listen to this man all day!
I can listen to his stories for days he has that type of story telling voice
I love your videos... here I am sitting down on my Buick 91 which doesn't start due to a battery failure and was supposed to take my family for dinner. Keep on... blessings brother.
I check to see if Ed is telling a story and I watch it until the end. Loving this channel to pieces.
Thanks!
I love how ed tells the stories
Babbling incessantly? :P
Stalks the car over years
Never falls in love with it
We are 4 subs away from 150k! If you are our 150,000th subscriber, email a screenshot to info@vinwiki.com and we will send you a VINwiki shirt.
VINwiki boi
7 now
U definitely didn't thought this through 😂
VINwiki it is me, I am sending an e-mail now
Thank you all. Got the emails. We will sort out who was actually first.
Ed you really should start doing podcasts your perfect for it with all the people you know and all the stories they can tell
I really appreciate those requests. I just don't know that I can create 30-60 mins of valuable content each day.
I am a huge fan of Gran Turismo and always wanted to see a Ruf in person. I haven't been that lucky, but at least you got a good flip and had some fun with it!
Ed can sure tell a story. I could listen all day.
My summer has consisted so much of watching the videos on this channel and I love hearing the stuff in West Palm Beach and stuff because I live in West Palm and I think it's so cool all the stuff I'm hearing that happens around me
When I was brand new working in bodyshops, worked at one that specialized in Porsches. The owner actually was racing a bathtub Porsche, ran the VIN at the plant in Stuttgart, was Porsche USA#1. First Porsche ever made for the States, and he had a roll cage in it racing. That car was restored, and now Seinfeld has it. Anyways, we had a 94 RUF come in, knew nothing about it, but I knew I liked it. Took for a test drive, to look for the wind noise the customer was complaining about. OMG what a badass machine.
Yo love your stories hate to start watching cause i cant stop best luck to you keep up the good work ....
I love Ed's confidence, dont worry about the issues on my 70k car, just put a battery in it! and (2) computers/OBD2 ports is goofy. glad you got it sorted.
I really enjoy your videos! Very family and kid friendly
Ed ur life is pure motivation in action im so happy ur dreams came true through hard work! Im not to terribly hard up about having my dream car now but one day i will i want a gt3
Love your channel and your car stories. Thanks for posting!
Such an expensive, rare , and $400,000 (!) car, and Ruf couldnt figure out how to make the electronics work? What, did it have a piggyback and a megasquirt to run the engine? Thats just cheap from Ruf's part.
and those seats sound like a joke
i was literally just saying to myself, “i wish vinwiki would upload another ed video” i check and theres one uploaded, great.
Ah I love the shrewd negotiation stories.
He tells a good story does ol Ed. I have a Ruf..... it keeps the rain out my howce :)
Great story. Recently subscribed to your channel and enjoying the videos, keep it up.
That experience sounds pretty RUF.
Just set up a residence in middle GA and you will never have to worry about emissions testing Ed lol
813Productions that’s true , do you live in middle ga ?
King Midget71 yup
813Productions but u from Tampa lol 👌🏿
RB25luvGT35R lol people do move due to work
Where exactly should I look for a property if I would want to move to GA with a car collection and wanted to have a good place for myself, my family and my passion?
You are a great story story teller. I love it! Carry on soldier.....
Lmao if he seriously hit 182 after commenting how the seals on tires were dry rotted. Awesome story regardless.
He was a shrewd negotiator but the bolian got the deal he wanted 👍the best stories always come from ed.
10:00 ohh that's why I had to mirrors removed from our bathroom
If Ed and some of the other guys at VinWiki have the time to do podcasts occasionally, or even just make audio versions of these youtube videos available as a podcast, I'd listen to that all day long when I'm commuting.
Can you just loop the playlists? Too much data?
I remember RUF from forza thanks for the input Ed I don’t think that would be a car for me.
Shrewd negotiator! Haha I love it when he says that
This Ruf is for sale for 499,900 on DuPont Registry rn
Interesting Video especially about obd2 port!

I want ed to narrate my life
“I was only able to get it to go 182 or 185 so I was pretty disappointed” - Ed Bolian
Bro’, your knowledge is stunning.
Watching the video again, and yes, its still a great video, and i still love Ruf, i hope you still have it
The best of all making that profit
Brett David a stand up kid, I'm surprised he didn't backdoor the car @ Lambo Miami,, but props for letting the car go and deal done..
Ed is one of the best storytellers on VINwiki
