The thought of an airbag going off absolutely terrifies me. One of my cars has airbags everywhere, it's ridiculous; front steering wheel, front for my knees, doors, door pillars, side curtain airbags or whatever they're called and even those rear passengers get them too but I have them turned off as well as the passenger ones because I know with the noise of airbags exploding and going off would probably make me poo a little with fear. The embarrassment of doing a little poo really doesn't bear thinking about and so I never ever wear light coloured trousers any longer because of an irrational fear that should that fateful day when the airbags will activate after hard braking or similar.
You should see the original when he imitates, who I can only imagine is, an older Hispanic woman with the accent and everything. Ed is too cool and kind to knowingly offend anyone but when he said it the first time I lost it
"95 canadian dollars, whatever monopoly money that" oh no, let me go to the doctors to get my feelings checked for free lol Edit: You guys are killing me in the replies, some are so good! Yes I know its a joke and yes I know our system ain't truly free (and is far from perfect) but thats the running joke whenever americans make a joke against canada lol
I have enough of an issue looking through all of the BC listings as a resident, here this man from Georgia is watching our listings even better than me.
I live in British Columbia and actually saw this on market place, i actually live in Maple Ridge. So bizarre to see it make it's way from my hometown all the way to Ed! HOW DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST STORIES
Circumstance is interesting because it always has potential to turn a boring story into a great one. That's what I think makes VinWiki a great channel. Always good to hear an Ed Bolian story. 😁
Happy newyear Ed, loved the story as always. Would love to know how the part ended up in Canada. if you find out how, another video on that would be awesome!
One lesson we should take away from this story is "Never create a hole and wave someone through." Sure, you're being a nice person, but let's face it. They can't see what's coming up the road. Chances are, you can't see it either. I have seen accidents created from this very scenario in my 30 years of driving, and a lot more needless traffic jams when there wasn't an accident (because this always takes several minutes to get the person through to the other side of the road, blocking anybody and everybody who now sitting behind this hole.) The only exceptions I can see to this rule is 1. The "car" you're waving through is a first responder (police, fire, emt, etc.) with their blue and red lights on and sirens blaring (And you legally have to let them through), or 2. You're in the right lane and the car is trying to make a right turn into the lane you're in. Those are it. I know you want to be the nice guy and help shorten someone's commute a little bit, but DON'T BE THAT GUY! No good will come of it.
Another lesson is don't let insurance choose a shitty route. All the lines may not have been there, but the initial "right turn only (into the complex)" lane line paint is there in his old photo. On google maps 33.974493, -84.354945. I believe him when he says that whole crossing was used as a right lane for the upcoming light. That means the accident happened because he used the mandated route which looked good on paper, but in realty wasn't a safe right turn to be making.
@@colinkaul8324 a manual would be cool but they were going for extreme performance for the car. People bash it all the time for the way it drives around town but in Corsa mode it is still extremely fast
It’s hard to compete with a story told by the man himself! This was a pretty interesting upload. I enjoyed the new outro music too btw. Very similar sounding to the original, just a bit more upbeat 😄
Hey Ed, someone said you have the listing on the Brooklyn Bridge. I am ready to buy sight unseen. You could sell an anchor to a drowning man !! Awesome 👍 storytelling !!!
I live in Maple Ridge and I have had the marketplace listing for this coming up for months. Steady price drops. Wondered who in their right mind would want to buy it. Never in a million years thought it was Ed’s!
12:16 same thing happened to me, but without the apology. Old man waved me out of a parking lot and just as I waved back to him my front end got taken off. I got a failure to yield ticket and learned not to trust other people on the road
Theres a muira sv rear clip up here too, sent the link to john at curated but never got a response. this was on marketplace for soo long, crazy to see it on vinwiki!
My Dad and I saw that Aventador when it was being received at your dealership. Didn't realize that you were there then, but I distinctly remember it. The Ferrari dealership had a GTC4 Lusso at that time. Great memory.
Opens card- happy birthday. Enclosed please find 100 us freedom dollars, and a self addressed postage paid box so you may return this 100 us freedom dollars if they dont fit. Wink Wink Love it!
I saw this! I Iive in BC & was little shocked. Vancouver is the car capital of North America (Supercar/Vintage Euro/Japanese etc) & honestly thought this was from one of the crashed local aventadors near me, funnier thing is the fact this was in maple ridge, 35 minutes from my house! Love the channel Ed! Definitely gotta come do some rallies here one day, amazing driving roads around BC.
Haha yeah Dave lives in Victoria which is not all that close to Maple Ridge but it would be on their way to Kelowna. They frequently go there to hit up August Luxury Motorcars.
I'd be interested to find out how it made its way up to BC. Sounds like it would be very hard to figure that out but I am curious. Great video though and love Ed's flex at the end.
I've been hearing Ed speaking for over 3 years, or the time I've been subscribed to this channel, and I have never hear him stutter, mispronounce anything or stuck with out words. is he human? is he an AI programmed exclusively to do shrew negotiations???
"Only one of us got a 100 on that and it was me" best subtle flex ever.

"Only 1 person got a 100 on that exam and it was me." So does this mean you can defensively crash an Aventador now?
The kid is screaming, fortunately he had the ability to still do 😂😂😂
Airbags are terrifying., kids aren't supposed to be in the front seat for a reason.
The thought of an airbag going off absolutely terrifies me. One of my cars has airbags everywhere, it's ridiculous; front steering wheel, front for my knees, doors, door pillars, side curtain airbags or whatever they're called and even those rear passengers get them too but I have them turned off as well as the passenger ones because I know with the noise of airbags exploding and going off would probably make me poo a little with fear.

@@GenaF but them airbags can save your life. I heard they can suffocate you too😦
I think the point was that the kid is screaming, which proved that he was not unconscious or dead.
@@henryflores8396 not just that, airbags also have popped people's eardrums and damaged their hearing permanently
Lol "that guy hit you hes gonna have to buy you a house "
Ed-"Ok everybody just calm down"
You should see the original when he imitates, who I can only imagine is, an older Hispanic woman with the accent and everything. Ed is too cool and kind to knowingly offend anyone but when he said it the first time I lost it
" ever been hit with something worth alot of money?"
Kid- " yes aventador airbag"
I would love to how that part left the body shop in Atlanta and ended up in Canada. I think that's the true and another story in its self
I swear the way Ed ties the sponsors in just comes outta nowhere. Kinda great.
I swear this dudes the only guy I can listen to a story from and not be bored.
"95 canadian dollars, whatever monopoly money that" oh no, let me go to the doctors to get my feelings checked for free lol

It is called that because the bills are different colors, like our monopoly money, while ours are all the same color.
You got a lot of trust in people to just send $100 in a birthday card and hope you get some goodies back LOL
It's just 100...-
It's a good bet tbh cuz it's gets him a story...even if he didn't get it's still a story lol..
Tldr: Edgar is the shrewd negotiator in any situation..
@@stewartstarling2309 I dunno man 100 dollars is quite a lot for a birthday card to a stranger
remember he knows the guys address and has a friend who lives locally. not such a risk imo
If this was Rob Ferretti, he would now be telling the story of how some guy ripped him off for $100 and didn't send the badge 🤣😂
Happy belated birthday guy who sold Ed a crash Lamborghini hood emblem!
Imagine connecting with that kid when he’s older and he tells this story on Vinwiki from his point of view, that would be awesome
ED: "This is the first thing that goes missing: - waves a Lambo badge around.
*Ratarosa* has entered the chat.
"whatever that monopoly money is" lol

Came here to find this. Not disappointed
100 USD, Much more valuable. This is true but hurt my heart 😂

Ed "Shrewd Negotiator" Bolian 2024
I swear I've watched every one now!
Ed I literally saw this on marketplace, I’m from Vancouver. If I knew this was from YOUR crash??? My god I would’ve bought it in a second.
last time I was this early, Ed was stuck in traffic due to icy roads in Atlanta
The art of turning a facebook marketplace purchase into a story like this. In awe.
Ed in every story - " hes better at telling the stoy than me" while telling the story
Most seamless transition I’ve ever seen to the Modfind ad
Ed *"Subtle Plug"* Bolian
That transition to the sponsor was smooooooth
A whole video to sell an ad, but you don't know that until the end. I like it
This emblem was posted for such a long time and I was tempted to buy it. If I did, maybe I would have ended up on a VinWIki story!
I'm still amazed that small piece found its way to where it went and still found its way back to you. Thats sorta a destiny thing. Good story!
I have enough of an issue looking through all of the BC listings as a resident, here this man from Georgia is watching our listings even better than me.
I live in British Columbia and actually saw this on market place, i actually live in Maple Ridge. So bizarre to see it make it's way from my hometown all the way to Ed! HOW DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST STORIES
Opening line "i had to pay 67 dollars to crash an aventador" ohhhh dis gon' be good
That smug "it was me" LMFAOO love it
I instantly recognized this piece from the last video you’ve showed it. What an absolute bizarre story Ed.
Circumstance is interesting because it always has potential to turn a boring story into a great one. That's what I think makes VinWiki a great channel. Always good to hear an Ed Bolian story. 😁
I remember seeing this on FB marketplace a while ago
I’ve done defensive driving so many times that I’ve gotten a 100% on the test the last couple times.
I can do you one better. My mother drove school busses for most of her working life. I got Defensive Driving lectures long before I got a license.
You too? Lol, I found they frown when you walk in fall asleep and make 100
"the kids screaming luckily he can" right ed very right don't want a manslaughter case lmao ed
Happy newyear Ed, loved the story as always. Would love to know how the part ended up in Canada. if you find out how, another video on that would be awesome!
This is such a great story, Ed. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome story! Ed is the best story teller on the planet! Would love to meet him one day!!
Lambo dealership sounds like the coolest job ever!!!
When Ed agrees to meet someone for dinner, they meet right smack dab in the middle at the closest restaurant to his house
I suspect he engages in the same shrewd negotiating tactics for the act of procreation. Right. Smack. Dab in the middle.
I could listen to him and rabbit talk about literally anything. Great story tellers.
Hands down the best story teller!!
glad to see you got a part for your memories ed love the videos
Wait did I miss where he explained how that piece ended up in Canada? Or did he just never find out?

Another great story from VINwiki. Thanks
That's awesome that it floated around for 7 years and made its way back to you.
When you wake up in the morning and the VinWiki guy is talking about Maple Ridge.... "What?" *rubs eyes* "......What?"
You have spoken about this incident before, But did not have the bumper badge. It is still a good story. Thanks
Finally someone can answer this burning question of how it got there
love the humility on making "100" on the defensive driving test. that should be in a plaque on the wall. right next to the diploma
VINwiki is the only show where I pray for re-runs
I'm really surprised the insurance didn't try to put the liability on the guy who waved him through
I see Ed in a video, I upvote. It's basically a Pavlovian response at this point.
How many people know about pavlos dog and trained behavior???lol

Ed illustrates everything wrong with the insurance scam.
In this story, we learn how to non suspiciously launder money over international borders!
? You clearly don't know what laundering money is, this is a purchase.
The way Ed tells stories is great.

I for one would enjoy hearing that kids story of the crash. Would have a nice harmony to have both stories on the channel.

He wanted 50k, I offered 2500 dollars....so we met in the middle at 3500. Lol
I enjoy how Ed tells stories and also that guy that owns the valet company
Great story telling and plugging modfind
Duuuuuddee I remember seeing this on marketplace a couple months back and found it super weird for someone to sell on marketplace!!!!
man Ed is so cool. Would love to chill with him and hear all the stories.
Vin wiki is the best. It’s full of people who buy cars because they are passionate. Not because they want to be flashy or as a status symbol.
