- John organized an event called The 2904 to be something very different than record holder Alex Roy had done in 2006. It was a cheap race across the country. When Ed Bolian found about it, he wanted in.

"Just burn it down" - every project car owner ever
I love these stories. Very sleek marketing here. Get a bunch of car guys that are great storytellers to tell their stories and subtly push the Vinwiki platform. Hats off to you Mr. Bolian, looking forward to many more stories.
KEN WINS i
I'm not even a car guy, but these guys are so good that I binge watch 10 at a time when I can.
This channel is one of my few favorites on youtube. This top quality content delivered on a regular basis is MUCH appreciated! It's a massive bright spot in a world with a lot of negativity these days. Thank you!
Last time I was this early, the X Ray Machine box still had radioactive stickers on it.
Clint Gliford last time I was this early it was still in the US
last time i was this early a terrorist bought a x ray machine
Clint Glifor
Clint Gliford same
VINwiki you guys should do a one hour special podcast with all the good storytellers. That would be awesome. Just talking stories and cars.
Yes do this
Yes. Get this to the top
Rabbit would have to be in this.
This is like the intersection of great storytellers - Ed, John, Arne, Dave, Forrest, the solo guy, and the 3 tickets in a day guy.
One does not simply beat Ed Bolian in a cannonball
RandoCrypto apparently 12 owner hookermobiles are lucky
Well you say that, but..........
@@aayt02 Only if your initials are E.B.
Yours are E.S.
That's a no go.
I want to be the fly on the wall when all these guys go to dinner.

It was a great dinner.
That’s basically this show
Have him talk about the ambulance!
Thank you for making my day a lot better with this story, you all come in clutch when I need it!
That motor home from VA was sitting in my neighbors driveway for YEARS!! I always wondered what happened to that thing, awesome. Annandale Va to be exact
Hell No that's awesome!
"We beat the record in our 12 owner dead hooker machine" had me dying 2 years later
I feel like Ed has a wallet size laminated print out of the S-class car fax to shut down the non believers lol
"You don't want to get near it with a black light"
cant believe how much this channel has taken off in the last few months. I remember subscribing in like the first 10k subs
Two guys ran this solo... damn they should get an award just for that😂
New life goal, run a 2904.
10:13 classic Ed Bolian vehicle. Real JC Penny's type guy.
Another great story VinWiki crew! I love this channel and you guys blew up! Looking forward to many more stories! Keep up the amazing work!
"12 owner, dead hooker machine" lost it ...
I would like to sit and have a drink with Ed Bolian. He seems like such a cool and laid-back guy. Every story with him is amazing :)
whod be dumb enough to challenge ed to a cannonball? man takes a science approach to a passion. hell always be unbeatable
I love how the videos just keep getting better and better, keep it up!
sorry but you have to do a 2904 in a 78 smokey and the bandit trans am dressed as Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields
The Pontiac Transport WILL transport you AND your family into the Twenty-first century.
Nobody Beats Bolian
Damn. Do all these guys have radio voices? Or do I have low T?
That ambulance tho
How can someone not like Ed Bolian??
I have a short wheelbase GMC motorhome on my property, actually just restored the interior. ozoned everything it ran when parked we will have to see
This Guy is Hilarious. JUST BURN IT DOWN LOL
Hey! Tulsa ain’t so bad
Gotta love the cannonball stories! Who knew you could turn a Silhouette into a Sleeper, and a sleeper XD
Wicked story but that sunglasses burn is even better brother! Lol 😎
Love these stories! Been here since 900 subs!!
Why don't these guys do these races in hearses?
Fake hearse ran in 2017.
oingoironman Yea thought somebody had to have done it. Seems like a nobrainer.
I hope the 2904 never ends
That rv must of really struck a nerve cause his veins start popping out of his head when he was talking about burning it down lol
Really interesting you got there! Please keep them going!
Ed please, please tell the story of the 12 owner dead hooker S-Class....I mean there has to be History!
It was an early one of our stories - "I bought a Mercedes S55 AMG for $1,500"
2:05 I think he means Toronado
Tulsa checking in
1:50 sleeping homeless guy in the bottom right corner
Ed Bolian only beats himself
I love these stories !!!! Makes me wanna be in these road trips !
Finally! Here before Clints "last time" comments
Just barely!
By a minute!
Hey Ed will you ever do the Cannonball in that Cannonball Audi?
Hopefully.
that ending though! On to the next story!
THAT CLIFFHANGER!
And because of that, the 2904 only accepts pre OBD-II cars. It's called the Bolian clause.
He meant front wheel drive like a Toronado
You should be drinking that Beer out of a glass!
it reslly does look like a shuttle dam so cool
9:33 "Gardenining Angel" ROFL
I can just imagine the 3500RPM roar of that Buick six. My Ford has a Buick 231-based 256 inch six in it because Essex.
I love my '76 gmc 23 footer. Wish you had better luck with yours.
No head gaskets or oil pumps were willingly harmed in the making of this story.
But they were contemplating suicide.
I just found one of these on Facebook marketplace today
5 days from coast to cost you must take long breaks on drives , that's nothing I could easily beat that
You guys canonballed a clk430? That's tight I drove mine across the east coast
This should be a good one
Bring back the 2904!
Any one else want the guys that drove the mini van on their team
What do I need to do for a invitation to this race
Last time i was this early Ed didn't have the Audi 4000 Brock Yates Edition
Who is the guy with the white Sc400? Looks spot on to my first car 10 years ago.
We have a video with him discussing the solo NY to LA and Atlantic to Pacific records he set.
Dude there's one of those RV's for sale a block from my house
Car was lit :D
Gonna do a double transcontinental one day in an 86 Volvo.
Man the things I would do to go on a run with you guys!
Had a Chevy lumina mini van same as the Oldsmobile version, the six cylinder had a flaw in one of the cylinders, as I was to go back to Tennessee from California the cylinder went bad, the mechanic said it should be ok, yeah right going through a lot of desert areas
Watches the video wants to join on the road trip sounds like so much fun
Typical Ed haha😂
i feel bad for anyone stuck in oklahoma thats why i feel bad for myself XD
From Tulsa, can confirm that it sucks :)
Cannonball guys took a Travco back in the day to 105 MPH...RWD, you can get a 22' long versions. GMC's are FWD and cannot be equipped with an OD. Travco's can & have been converted to Cummins power with an Allison 6-speed trans.
You are welcome
Ed Bolian went easy in 2013.. every night he beats an Atlanta to LA flight by car
passed out guy on right at 1:49
I would run an AMG too. E55 which is one of the best engine and transmission IMO after w124 Hammer M117 or M119 500E
Lesson learned: Bring a mechanic or be one
A guy in my town has one of those gmc motorhomes. Pretty cool
And the RV is in Pennsylvania
Another great story
Audio and video are out of sync... it might just be me though.
Me too thought it was just me cause no one else was mentioning it
Do you mind checking again? I just rewatched it and it was lined up. I trimmed out a part where John said it was based off a Torino rather than a Toronado around the 2:05 mark with the TH-cam trim tool and you may have watched it around the time they released the updated file.
yeah still out of sync for me starting then
VINwiki seems fine now. Thanks
Thank you both.
Wait was the actual time 100 days or was that an exadsuration
It was 96 days from leaving NYC to finally getting to California. Engine was rebuilt in Tulsa.
Didn't know the 23 foot GMC motor homes where rare I'm restoring 2 right now
Great tale of woe!
One movie in which that specific RV was used was Stripes. There's a theme for the next run. Here's the RV in question:

I love these videos wish I could compete lol
Good video but the audio being out of synced made it hard to watch.

VINwiki looks good now.
Thank you. We have only done that a couple times and the tool is very difficult to use for those little removals. I guess as it re-renders it can cause this.
I'm in tulsa!
dude welding and sunglases dont work ^^
Ed,if I ever buy a super duper car.... It will be from you.!!!!##
Note to self: Remove sunglassses if in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time, or I might look like this guy.
2:07 actually it was a 403 out of the Olds Toronado
The early ones were the 455 out of the Toronado.
Im not a doctor yet but it seems as if John has a malar rash, a sign of Lupus Erythematosus
LoL oh brother ✊ so much going on haha awesome story
When will they do another 2904?
Great story.
What's a 2904?
