Ed knows how to run a TH-cam channel for sure . Giving the people what we want. AND TIME STAMPS THIS IS RIDICULOUS
I wish television companies would understand that people just want something genuinely relatable. It's pretty easy to spot what's fake and staged, I think people are tired of it
@@littlerhino2006 you need a actual account dropping this knowledge
@@littlerhino2006 People are getting their news from youtube for the same reasons!

wow, thats alot of questions, you really didnt leave any question out did you?
@@hellothree8223 I left out 600 or so. Glad to have had the chance to answer some of them.
@@EdBolian how many duplicate questions did you get?
Chiter 1 day ago
Wait a video of just Ed that lasts an hour and twenty eight minutes? Christmas came early.
That's a movie
Go stand at a car dealership for an hour and half you get the same voice
@@ericworthington7299 #oscar for best voice goes to.... :D
Who is Christmas? 😌
(_)(_):::::::::::lD💨
ps. 👆 that's a rocket ship 😉
Yes! He also a shrewd talker. I always feel like my IQ just rises a little every time I listen to him.
1 hr of listening to Ed talk? Sounds like a plan!
Breeze BC I feel the same way..just good voice to listen to
He could crush the podcast game
He has a huge network of guests too and we could hear the longer story behind some of these epic stories. Post the whole podcast up, maybe even live stream like Joe Rogan and The smoking tire podcasts. Then later on he can post up epic clips from the larger podcasts for those who can't digest the entirety. So much potential here.
He’s the only one on vinwiki I listen to. He’s great.
I hope he ends it by saying "Thank you for coming to my Ed Talk".
I would totally watch a Netflix documentary about Ed's Canonball Run!
I would pay for netflix just for that
Why Netflix? They have a youtube channel. Lol
MTV could sell the 2004 video to Netflix, and Ed add a directors cut story to end.
Zachariah Nelson Only if he’s narrating it
Seriously..I love hearing these stories
I came to VinWiki at 25 subscribers now there 700k. I can’t Believe the journey. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for coming along for the ride. It has been an amazing journey.
I forgot what it was when I came in but I feel like it was lower than 100k
@@guyknightley3499 it grew really really fast! I remember when it was 30k and I was like damn.... These are some good stories! And Ed is a Lambo legend. Abd sure enough it started to blow up :)
I was here at 0 subscribers.
@@paul2673 oh... oh yeah? I pre-subbed to this channel. I pre-ordered my subscription
You deserve everyone of these 700k subscribers ! Listening to all the stories published here is a real pleasure. Thank you Ed
1hr and 30 mins of Ed Bolian answering questions?? Sign me up!
Didn't even notice it was 1 and a half hours
I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
That's a movie
ED Bolian as a lawyer, now that's a scary thought.
not if you're the client....
We settled right in the middle and he got the death penalty
@@tangneptune lol!!! (not for the guy tgats getting the death penalty :)
Tangy hahahahahahaha i laughed out loud at 5am
Jesus will deal with the real punishment in Ed’s mind...
When you can’t hide in the bathroom at work for whole video.
2days ago Casey Putsch tells one of the best stories EVER on Vinwiki.
Ed Bolian: Hold my beer, (uploads over an hour video).
What makes Ed so special is that the way he let's us in on his stories and inside jokes, you feel like you know him. You must have been a helluva salesman.
Congrats on 700k, already on road to 1 million.
@@bahe57 man crush on Ed, I guess... My wife's loves to make fun of me for it.
@@bahe57 also been a subscriber for like 2 years
90 minute vid with Ed!? Hell yes! Congratulations on the growth of the brand as well.
Thanks so much. It has been a lot of fun.
700k subscribers! We are all so grateful for the viewership and for the opportunity to share our stories. What are some other guests you would like to see us invite?
VINwiki no problem you guys are awesome
Doug DeMuro!
Tom from Tom's turbo garage, Brent from PFI speed, Jr. to talk about his dad, an interesting engineer from Lamborghini or Bughatti, or interesting people from anywhere in the auto industry. I love car stories.
Possibly normalguysupercar from texas... he might have some intersting ones (smaller growing channel)
Doug Demuro
Congrats on 700K! I see that million mark rapidly approaching 😎
You got called out to cannonball...
Hey Rob, how about a vid from you?
Congrats again on 700,000 subscribers Ed! 1 million is just around the corner at this point. This is one of the best car channels on TH-cam hands down!
I appreciate you answering all of the questions as well, most people pick a few and make a short video. I think I speak for everyone when I say we can sit here and listen to you talk all day long
Thank you for your persistent support of the channel. I am curious to see how the algorithms treat this one.
@@EdBolian my pleasure Ed. I'm curious to see how the algorithm treats it as well. A lot of TH-camrs feel as though 20 minute videos are the cap, but it definitely depends on the channel. You could post 30 minute stories all day long, people will enjoy them.
I'm gonna say this will hit a million views in under 4 months
Congrats! 1 million is just around the corner!
If I ever meet Ed Bolian, I will shake his hand and say thank you.
Cheers
I saw him around Halloween at a local pumpkin farm, I didn't want to bother him and his family, but I knew it was him.
Vinwiki blew up!!! Love it! Let's go for a million!
Ed is the only one who I would listen to for 1.5 hrs
Yea him and rabbit.
Obvisouly not a jre fan then
ROAD TO 1 MILLION. Glad i stumbled across this channel about a year ago now. Its awesome to see channels that show this much care for detail and care for its fans. Also thank you for opening me up to new personalities on youtube to learn even more about cars from. To Ed and everyone thats part of the VinWiki family, congrats and keep up the amazingly awesome work 💚💚🤘🤘🤘🤘
Now Ed becomes a billionaire selling his voicemail messages inserting every name availible.
I literally just sat and watched the equivalent of a vinwiki movie...
Who else sat through the whole 1.5 hours of this episode??
Will Jay Leno ever sit down with VinWiki?
Ew I hope not
That would be sick
Still waiting for the Doug DeMuro episode... babysteps
@@gustavolopez4981 Same here!
Have a all denim day. He will be there.
Such a long video! Perfect to have playing in the background at work. Thanks for making the morning that much better.
Thanks for watching!
Ed Bolian it only took me the entire day, but I finally finished! Keep doing what you guys do!
Ed actually skyped into my classroom to speak with my students. Such a great guy to take time out of his day for the youngsters.
That was a lot of fun. We should do it again sometime.
Just when I need to study for my exams..
Nobody:
Ed: uploads 1,5 hour video..
Almost 1h 30min of Ed talking? Yeah, count me in!
Congrats to all the subscribers and success!
I could listen to Ed's voice all day, so damn soothing lol
Just watched the entire video and didn’t skip a single second and enjoyed every single second of it!!!!! Keep it up Ed
This was worth the wait from yesterday. Thanks! Can't wait to listen to them all.
Congrats on 700K!
Ed, thank you for this channel. You and your cohorts on this channel are very amusing, you are all great story tellers. This is my favorite channel on TH-cam, glad this can channel take care of Vinwiki and your family!
I hope this video does great for you Ed. Here’s to 700k more subs
Congrats on 700k you need 10 million fast
Sooooooo excited to watch this! Instant thumbs up
I drive cross country often, and love to listen to the stories as I'm driving.....
One story is about 12 minutes which averages about 4 stories per hour with the short breaks or phone calls I take....
My last California to Key West Florida trip flew by so fast I wish they were farther apart.... cheers
1:24:25 been slowly watching this video in segments throughout my day and finally saw my question pop up at the very end :D congrats on 700k Ed!
Patrick you are probably about the last person I expected to find in the comments section
It was physically IMPOSSIBLE for me to click this notification any faster.
Love vinwiki videos
Congratulations on 700K! Been following this for a while and I love the stories!
Sup Ed, its pretty cool on my behave to know we both share Faith in Christ and also have passion for car. Be more Bless Bro.
My favorite channel.
Holy smokes I thought I misread the length of the video at first... hour and a half of ed?! Yes please!!
I could listen to ed all day long, its like hes a old grampa with cool stories.
I swear I could listen to Ed talk for 10 hours about literally anything and enjoy it
Enjoyed entire video so much. Would love to see full version reveal of VINwiki's soundtrack on 1 million subscribers!
Awesome video Ed, always enjoy listening to talk about car stories ;)

This channel has definitely grown, I’ll always love it. Your videos are part of my daily routine. 🤙🏻 mahalo from Hawaii.
Mahalo! Thanks for watching.
Fell asleep watching random videos woke up to this video, pretty sweet way to start the day and perfect excuse to be late to work .
I love how Ed is unapologetic about his faith and share the word of Jesus Christ! Such a breath of fresh air in these crazy times. 😎😎
This is my favorite aspect of Ed. Love it
I'm not a Christian but ed is clearly one of the good ones and I can respect that!
I found it disappointing actually. In my experience most intellectuals with the type of poise Ed seems to possess seem to realize the ideas put forward in any religion don't seem to make any sense. I wish people could just find a way to be good without needing a dangling carrot called "heaven" to motivate them.

1 and a half hours of Ed Bolian talking? Let me grab my popcorn, This is gonna be good!
Movie time
Haven’t finished the video yet but I’m loving listening to it while I do work thank you!
4/3/2001 Ed thank you for the life education I'm 50 years old and you opened my eyes again I learned so much from this video you prompted me to take a look at my self and I'm going to attempt to apply your brilliant words to my way of thinking to change the way I handle my self thank for the inspiration
Colombia is pretty chill now Ed 👍🏼👍🏼🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
As always
**Ed for President**
Ed for C.E.O 😜
Holy shit it took 3 hours to do that index! My brother has met you, he is a Sandy Springs officer and was glad he was on a different call when you had that accident on that test drive...love your stories bud!
First 1.5 hour video that i watched every second of and enjoyed every single second of. Congrats on 700k!
Nice to see you, Ed! Hope you have a great week!

Bingo. When i worked at a dealership right out of high school i started out as a porter because i needed a job and that was the only position open. Then i began helping the service writers write up customers coming in for service. Once i had gotten the hang of that i started getting involved with helping the loaner car manager with issuing out rental cars. After about a year the rental car manager had gotten into some hot water over not checking the conditions of the loaners being turned in and the dealership had to eat the cost of scrapped rims, burn holes in interiors...etc. Well, they ended up taking that position away from him and the GM decided to have all service writers learn how to do rentals. I took it upon myself to deal with the loaner department myself so they wouldn't be bothered with it. Keep in mind at first i was not getting paid for the extra work... i will still making crap porter money but in my mind if i did a well enough job i would get my raise. 6 months into portering, service writing and taking care of the rental department i got my big raise and of course new job titles. I would even provide my GM with a daily updated list of the miles on each unit along with the date put in and due out of service ( which was not my responsibility because long story short if a unit gets so many miles on it they can pull it out of fleet and sell it fast) Loaner department went from having 6 cars to 32 by the end of my career there. It was bittersweet leaving a department that i pretty much had full control over and built up into a well functioning cash cow for the company but i had better things waiting for me on the horizon. Ed makes an excellent point. You need to put yourself out there and learn as much as you can...even if you don't get paid for the extra work or recognized at first it will all work out exactly how you want it to.
Helps if you are growing up in a credit boom and not a credit crunch
1 million is just around the corner! 👏👏👏
Last question, will I watch a 1.5 hour long video about Ed and the VW channel? Yes, yes I will. And I did. And it was awesome.
Congrats on 700k dude! Onward to 1 million :)
Wow! So many questions! Extended videos makes me happy!
Thank you for the stories Sir!
I never once watch a youtube video this long... all the way.
Congrats on the 700k
The Nuggins voicemail recording was unreal! I like your style, Ed!
Ed, you should make this a tradition maybe at 1 million, 1.5 million followers etc.. In my opinion its as entertaining as any of your other videos!
This got me through the day. Thank you for such excellent stories.
Dude, I wasn't expecting an hour and a half. Glad I got my coffee already when I saw the notification! Congratulations on having an amazing channel btw.
There are so many pearls of wisdom from Ed in here; on life, business, success, work ethic, integrity. So good. If I didn't live on the other side of the continent, it would be fascinating to sit down with Ed for 30 min and talk shop.
Congrats on the 700k Ed.
Having my M4 brake pads changed. Waiting at the dealership and this video couldn’t have been uploaded at a better time. 👌
He goes this could be a little long. *Checks the video*
Holy shit it’s an hour and a half 😂
Came from PKA podcast was not disappointed! Awesome channel congrats on 700k!
Clearly you and your team spent A LOT of time on this video. We are grateful to have a clean, well organized, and quite enjoyable car show to watch that isn't Doug DeMuro 24/7, Vehicle Virgins, etc. Sure helps that you're local to me as well.
It's been really amazing seeing VinWiki grow. 👍
1 million this year?
For sure ;)
It seems that way. That will be an unreal feeling.
Glad to hear your a believer in our Lord and Saviour, may you spread His message. God bless from Scotland.
This is the first ever 1hr+ long video that I watched without taking a break, there’s never a dull moment with Ed.
Ed, you absolutely have made my day, you answered my question about the MTV show! I’ll find a copy of that some day!
God bless you for being open and honest about your faith. Thanks for the hour or more of chilled out time listening to all these mini stories.
The last time I was this early Casey still had most of his hair
Lmao I'm just imagining his face reading this ..
First TH-cam video I’ve ever watched where I felt like I should be taking notes. Ed is such an entertaining person his personality is marketable.
I think the best thing about these Ed centric videos is that Ed as a person, and his character are one of those that we would all like to have as a mentor. Thanks for doing what you are doing and how you go about it!!
Oh yes! Long video?? Tuned in....thank you VinWiki
Wow. I just spent an Hour+ of Ed just talking. And didn't realize until I was an hour in.
This year you will accomplish 1M! Stay on track - we love the VINwiki stories ;)
I remember coming to this channel with just 30k subs, loved every story here and hope to see more of these coming!
ED IS THE MAN.
A true gentleman
Thank you sir.
As far as social media I appreciate you talking realistically about the positives and negatives of your path. I feel like people only show what works and not what doesn't. I really like listening to your story, although I would not follow in your footsteps I really appreciate your transparency and I enjoy listening to your story.
The way you and your friends weave tales is a wonderful thing to listen to.
With this video I must say march has been a fantastic month
Last time I was this early, Casey was still on the tarmac.
Been a subscriber since vinwiki was under 100k. Glad to see its finally getting its followers! Ed is awesome. Wish to meet him or any of these guys at a cars & coffee.
The best hour and a half I've ever spent on youtube. I regret not watching it sooner and congratulate you, however late, on 700+ thousand subscribers. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the video, and I wish you, as well as VIN Wiki, the best.
Time to Pull up a chair and get the popcorn. Congrats on 700k subs!
Can only imagine how long the 1 mill sub video will be lol
I feel like 600k subs was yesterday damn how time flies fast
It was yesterday
62 miles on 285 hits real close to home. When I feel like garbage, I just get in my car and drive and drive and drive.... Also I've been going back through my family tree and I'm fairly sure that we are like 2nd or 3rd cousins. Bolian shows up in my family tree more than once.
Must be the first person I've seen answer basically every question. Props to you Ed. Your outlook on life, the way you handle things, and the way you do TH-cam is amazing. Thank you for being the person you are.
What an awesome comment to hear. Thank you so much.
