Ed’s like the dad who wants to be supportive for his kids dreams but you dropped outta college for it. (Thank for almost 5K!)
that's a great analogy: he wants to say FREDDIE YOU"RE INSANE but trying to be supportive. lol.
Is Ed who said to buy the worse version of your dream car 😅
1000% 😂
Ed’s like the dad who wants to be supportive of his son's lifestyle but then the child turns up to family Thanksgiving dressed as a woman with a newly invented gender.
Freddy definitely dropped out of the BIG ONE this time.
When Ed is the voice of reason, you know you’ve gone REAL far😂
😂😂😂😂 💯
Somehow Freddy has made Ed seem like the sensible one. That's hard to do.
ed is always the voice of reason as long as hes not tryna sell you on how his car fits the criteria for cartrek. 600k for 10% of a p1. wtf
@@Heatranoveryou damn, 10% a bit hard, no? 😂
How he was going to buy it also😂😂😂
6:58 Ed can tolerate a dumb purchase but he will NOT tolerate un-shrewd négociation 😂
For all the crazy stuff these two have done, I’ve never seen this level of fear in Ed’s eyes 😂
Right?? I think that's what freaked me out and made me feel uncomfortable the most in this video
“Paid asking price” is a nightmare scenario for Ed
"so I shrewdly negotiated the price down" - Every Ed story!
To be fair, they would have taken the price down if you tried to negotiate.
Yeah blows my mind tarvish saw the price drop 25k in 2 days and didnt even try to negotiate more, especially when parts for this car are insane.
It was definitely not a shrewd negotiation
Ed seemed genuinely shocked.
Ed is the man. His humor just hits so perfectly lmao. Paired with Freddy just makes it better.
I still remember Eds joke from one of the Cartrek episodes.
I consider this joke one of the best of his - I don't care if it was preplanned or scripted, and I like to think that it was off the dome.
Please don't try to convince me otherwise 😉.
"That thing is as southern as speed dating at a family reunion." - that's from S06E01 (at 27:32)
it really does, Ed's dry and sarcastic humor acting like a dad works so well with Freddy's upbeat, aloof, and child like sense of optimism, and it just creates funny moments because of this combination.
You can tell Ed's a good friend because he's fighting his instinct to yell at Freddie, especially when he heard that Freddie paid the Buy it Now Price.
#Facts lol
Ed: "Have you heard the term, 'bet the farm'?"
Freddy: "YEP!"
Perfectly illustrates the father/son dynamic mentioned here. Ed's disbelief is immeasurable, but so is Freddy's determination. Great stuff, love the project.
Can we please have Ed around for this entire rebuild just for all the commentary??
Yes please lol. He has the best commentary, I swear.
Yes pleaseeee😂
I would pay for the Ed commentary
Hand him a hammer and have him help like Clarkson.... "I mended something!!"
We need more from Ed. He is very experienced and just knows how much work it'll be
Loved Ed's face when he heard the price of the battery 🤣🤣🤣
Almost looked like he let a shart! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
U mean when his eye popped outta his skull 😊
TBH that's just ridiculous. Like ludicrous. It's a li ion battery at the end of the day. Nothing special.
That shoulda been the thumbnail!
love it haha
I like how Ed seemed most surprised that Tavarish just had a spare 675 transmission lying around, out of everything he learned that day lol
Some of Ed’s reactions are absolutely priceless. Many memes need to be made.
My favorite is the face he made when Freddie said he paid full price
Mine was when he heard how much the battery would cost
Love how Ed is both excited to see it and mortified that Tavarish actually owns it and the amount of damage it has.
I hope Tavarish doesn’t have to bet his neighbors farm just to get parts!
Freddie is single handedly going to fund the whole McLaren F1 team with this car
Ed: "Is this even available?"
Tavarish: "I don't know but it's gorilla glass, so I assume it's the same like an iPhone."
Ed: "That means you can fix it with gorilla tape?"
Tavarish: "That's right."
This is what comedians aspire to.
I like seeing Ed in this more informal and casual setting. There's a warmness that comes from him here that doesn't come through when he's playing up his dry sarcasm for the camera.
Ed is that practical, smart friend who you try to convince that your bad ideas aren't that bad and he doesn't tolerate it😂
Definitely but only cos he makes stupid fun decisions like Freddy himself. (Like literally every cartrek)
Ed is such a freaking cool dude 😎. Honestly, the chemistry between Ed and Freddy is up there with my favorites. Both of them just seem like legitimately good people.
Ed Bolian is the kind of guy to ask a homeless person why they don't just get a job
He has a Jeff Goldblum kinda vibe to him.
@@YearsOfLeadPoisoning thats a weird way of saying hes reasonable
Ed is hilarious. I met him at a cars and coffee few years ago
@Mark Kistner oh is he a huge tool who tries really hard to make themselves relevant too?
Freddy.
If there's one thing a flood in my house has taught me it's get rid of as much water as quickly as possible.
You should build a tarp tent around the lift and fit some dehumidifiers in there and a fan.
Remove the doors, take out the seats and rip out the carpet. It'll dry quicker and there will be less mould. 🤔
The smell is in there forever. That's why when they repair flooded cars nobody wants them
I love how with each new bit of information, Ed's eyes go wide for a second as he processes.
I can tell that Ed is envious that he didn't buy it! 😂 😂 😂 Now, he sleeps soundly at night! 😂 😂 😂
LOL Ed is a salesman ,, Freddy is a craftsman,,, Like them both but Freddy's labor is free. Ed's 🤔🤔Is limited to signing and cashing checks
The word is "relieved", not envious...
@@peterschancel7223 to be fair if I needed a getaway driver ed is definitely the right person though 😂
@@Jamie-ds1gf LOL I am sure Ed could talk his way out of a police stop.. Actually Ed seems like a great friend ,, I prefer a great Friend over a great getaway driver most days.. plus I am a a bad Passenger😁
@@christianbuczko1481 That was a joke, I am very sorry that it was too subtle for you and went way over your head. 😊
Ed is truly a down to earth guy. His sarcasm is infectious as is his dry humor. Everyone needs a friend like him.
I would t bet the outhouse on this one, let alone the farm. I did subscribe though so I can continue to watch this tragic love story unfold.
@@robertjones8598 Robert, I don't know what on earth you're trying to say, but have a nice day.
@@RedLP5000S he’s saying Freddy made an unwise purchase and is going to lose his ass on this.
Ed casually pulling the spoiler off even as an accident is the highlight of this video
I think this is the most honest exchange I've seen from these two. That was incredible.
Congrats you found a way to make Ed nearly speachless
and it only cost $575,000 😂
@@TNPolaris 😂
Ed was genuinely horrified that Tavarish paid asking for the P1 😂 good luck Freddy, you should have Ed along every few months to get his reactions to the project.
Shrewd negotiation 😏
Every expert is calling this guy an idiot for buying it and at that price, but will they end up eating their words. That's what I want to know.
@@smokescreen2146 bro it has a title of destruction, meaning it can never be driven on a Public road no matter what, so it'll only be like a trackcar now, if they even allow it on public tacks.
@@Dior444L some states let you transform it into a salvage then rebuilt title
@@Dior444L I wonder if because of this car's high value, the title of destruction can be reversed. it's a million dollar car once it's fixed, so surely it can be reversed.
Ed is very articulate which helps a lot with bringing hope come crashing down
"What are you gona do"😂 that in itself summed it all up from Ed😂
Ed is the kind of friend you consult before you buy a car like this, not after.
And you never buy a car
I could feel both Ed's sense of relief that he didn't wind up with it, and the sympathetic pain he experienced thinking about what it's going to take to rebuild the car.
I have a lot of respect for Ed, looking past the UA-cam stuff and worrying about Tavarish as a person, making sure he knows the magnitude of effort and expertise this build will need.
This guy definitely bought this car hoping the views would pay for the expense… I wish him luck but he is screwed. Not only will he not be able to fix it but now nobody will buy it off of him.
@@entertainingandfun2719 he clearly said that even absolute worst case he wouldn’t go under hinting that he can afford to fix the car and not make the money back buddy. You think he’s that dumb and got to where he is fixing and building salvaged cars?
@@robwaters8848 haha ok. If you wanna prove me wrong that badly go for it. I wish him luck like i said. Im not a hater. That’s my favorite car of all time. I’d love a broken one just so I could look at it.
Ed’s reaction is hilarious. He’s absolutely horrified of the purchase 😂
As you should be 😂 this isnt going to be P1 never again. It will be just P1 body with some car parts that did fit in it. That doesnt make any sense for that price. Well maybe it will be worth of something if all the other P1s will burn in smoke out of this world.
@@oggamer735 wrong. Car can not be driven on the road ever again. It’s a parts only car.
11:00 Ed's asking questions to Tavarish like he's his therapist trying to figure out what's wrong with him 😂😂😂
Ed should do a series where he just interviews random people and goes over how much they overpaid for their car. he might get punched in the face, but it would be great content.
I dunno man, he's like 6'4. Would be a little of a deterrent at least!
Ed has the MOST AMAZING radio voice I've heard.
Eds timing, enunciation, and facial expressions are hilarious, you see alittle bit of this side of him in car trek but you can tell he was having a field day here
I was cry-laughing when Ed said "this is the worst automotive decision Ive ever seen a human being make" - Good luck Freddy , I Love your optimism
The smuggness in Ed knowing he dodged a huge bullet is palpable.
Well, that car is far from Ed's playing field. He is not a mechanic, doesn't have a repair shop.. He would not flip it for profit no matter how good of a negotiator is.
This car screams Tavarish.
@@jackfrombg4498 this car screams bankruptcy court in the near future
@@chefcc90 eh so have alot of Freddie builds but he holding strong somehow
12:32 “ Fits with the proper lubrication “ 😂😂😂
Ed ALREADY sounds like a radio announcer, he has a strong voice and clear diction.
Ed was immediately thinking, "We need to do 50 more seasons of Car Trek to pay for this thing!"
We sure 50 is enough?
I love how Ed goes from being sarcastic, to being genuinely concerned for his friend, to seeing the slight chance of it paying off, back to being sarcastic with a hint of concern at the undertaking 😅
I really enjoyed that journey as well :)
Freddy will be fine. For starters he can write off most of it as a business expense/loss. He’ll get a million plus views on most of the videos about it. He knows what he’s doing on the business side. It will be a great series. I want to see the carnage in the engine.
@@TraceyAllen yep, and the videos are sponsored too. I have a feeling the list of parts that survived is going to be shorter than the list of parts replaced. I can’t believe someone spent 600k (!!!) on that nightmare, sight unseen.
ed’s job was to dramatize the expenditure (and thus the task at hand) and he did it well.
@@frozennorth3426 100%.
"Every panel has a REAL, meaningful problem."
Brilliant.
Ed as the voice of reason? Seriously? I LOVE Ed!!!
This is what happens when you don't buy a Bugatti driven into a bay-you get something worse. Ed's the only other person on the planet who could understand why you bought this, and who could say it's not a totally mental idea. I'm hoping you can actually salvage this car back into a runner, but failure is going to be nipping at your heels all the way. Best of luck, Tavarish
Welp, a million dollar budget can solve a lot of issues. That's what he has to spend to break even.
@trollolol there was no shipping fees, he picked it up. But who knows what it will be worth when he finishes it in 2 years?
Ed’s GENUINELY shocked at the numbers Tavarish is throwing out there. I am too. $165k for a battery is insane
Never going to complain about the price of the spare part for my Ford Fiesta again. 🤣🤣 (Eight new Ford Fiestas or a battery, hmm...) 😊😊
Holy snokes.
Is it really THAT insane when the car is worth around $2m?
@@retartedfreak Yes and no. It’s a boutique battery but MOST batteries are just a bunch of Samsung or Panasonic cells with custom packaging. I can’t say that’s what a P1 has but I am sure the margin on this for the OEM would be over 100%. That’s true for everything on a hypercar, they have to have big margin.
@@retartedfreak when every panel needs replaced and a window is 12k he might spend 2m to fix it.
12:55 “It’s an amphibious exploring vehicle!”
Ed's reaction when he heard how much the battery would cost was priceless
By far my favorite part of the video I was in stiches
What's the street value of a vile of Tavarish Flood P1 Hurricane Sand?
About three fifty
$.25 and a stick of gum (chewed)
A case of MD 20/20 😊
@@moe4e add a case of 4 lokos and you have a deal 🤝
@@cameronwood5692 😂😂😂
I have a feeling this is going to be one of the biggest car series on UA-cam
Hopefully, for Freddy's sake lol
I can’t wait
It already is.
Literally, he could never get the car running or on the road again and the $ he’ll make in views will most likely cover his costs 😂
Oh my god! That is maybe the most amusing conversation I have ever seen. You couldn‘t script it better.
The genuine reactions and conversation is so so funny
Freddy: The wiring harness ends aren't corroded, it's fine.
Ed: That's not what fine means!
TBH it's not the wiring, it's what they are connected to. The biggest issue is no car maker waterproofs their electronics. Even in parts that will be exposed to the elements while driving.
I had a 2008 ford escape. A common failure is the fuel pump module. It corrodes and dies. Luckily they put a removable cover in the back seat to get to it. BUT how about using galvanized steel instead of bare steel in the housing? "NO NO NO NO can't spend the extra $4.00".
This car is quickly becoming one of the most famous individual modern vehicles. It feels like even my non-car friends have heard about it.
That’s really where the potential wisdom is. If he plays his cards right he’ll come out way ahead just from the channel growth from this project.
If he makes enough videos he’ll probably pay off the car and then some with the Adsense money and sponsor money by the end of it.
I just love the permanent, massive freight of "ARE YOU COMPLETELY F*CKING MENTAL??? YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU?" behind Ed's attempts to keep his words calm and reasonable. He's mostly succeeding, but his tone keeps slipping and giving it away... 😂
I really really hope this goes well for Tavarish. The P1 is legendary and if he manages to save a flooded one that would be amazing.
That car is a total loss in the maximum way possible. If he gets it running again, he'll be lucky to get 1/10 of what he paid for it on resale. This was an incredibly inane purchase. Fortunately, he's a trust fund kid, so he can eat the $.5m loss.
I;ve never seen Ed look so surprised when Freddy mentions the cost of the battery!
the cost of the battery is just a McClaren tax. the best bet is to just rebuild it probably cost around $40k to rebuild.
Seeing Ed's genuine first reactions is awesome. He always seems very scripted, but this seemed much more real.
"That's not what 'fine' means." -Ed Bolian
😂😂😂
Ed : points out a problem with every single thing.
Freddy : uha..
Eds insults cut deeper with each one trying to be gently to see how far to go. The last one with a smile lolz
This video contains the most emotion of shock and awe I've ever seen on Ed's face😂
He achieves a Clarkson level of disgust at one of James May's automotive choices. The pleasure in his suffering yet a hope it all works out somehow.
See Ed's face at 2:49 when Freddy tells him the cost of the P1's battery.😂
Ed: "The Doug Demuro Vantage became the gate way drug for many crazy decisions" hahahahahaha I remember when they were humble youngsters of Jalopnik back years ago!
Lol “you don’t go broke from it either” LOVE IT ED
Ok, Freddy hear me out. Name the P1. 'McP1ddle' or 'McP1ooded', 'McSP1ashy'
Freddy should make a sticker with this name and put it on the wind shield
You should bottle up all of the sand into little 10ml glass bottles and sell them to help fund your project.
hahahaha, this was great. Best line from a supportive friend 'as they say. . . it'll buff out'
Seeing Ed with a genuine look of concern when looking at a salvage car is truly a sight to see.
This is like an awkward conversation with your father convincing him that your exotic shit bag you just bought is worth the money you payed for it 😂😅
I don‘t know man. If I pulled up in this mclaren I would be greeted with „You fucking moron! Have you completely lost your mind?“😂
I love to see Ed genuinely conerned
Ed's like "I don't have enough Premier Finance Services' money to even touch this car, let alone fix it.... But glad Ed is supportive of the restoration...
Freddy needs to up his merch game if he's gonna pay for this one. I don't think views alone are going to cut it. Maybe a shirt with a P1 wearing a life preserver? Or a P1 mounted to a boat hull? lol
I’d buy one of those
Ed's facial expressions. PRICELESS!!! Sheer terror and concern for his friend.
i can hear the effect Ed's voice has on the tone of @2varish 's voice. The further on you get in the video, the more doubful the tone goes - and the more my interest grows on this project. Looking forward to the rebuild!
I liked this video. No cut aways, just 2 friends chatting😊
Ed is that best friend that no matter how stupid the idea is, no matter how dumb you are, no matter how ridiculous that decision is, he's gonna be there to pat you on the back and say you got this man! Freddie, you got this man!
Ed's reactions thee entire way, on every part, every section, every problem....
Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious 😂😂🤣🤣
Coming from someone that stood ground during Ian and saw it destroy literally everything in its path...I truly...truly wish you the best of luck in this not breaking you. It is a great project for sure, an expensive one at that. Wishing you the best of luck! Be patient.
Ed just don't want his friend to fail.. that's all . Best wishes on this project 🙏
Wishing Freddie all the best ! This is absolutely the largest rebuild in UA-cam history.
I'd even go so far as to say in "automotive" history. The bugatti aerolithe is up there, they had to make it from photos and sketches.
dare we say UNCHARTED TERRITORY
the amount of times Ed's eyes went wide in shock was well worth that P1s price.
Ed's reaction to that panel sound was amazing
Ed pats you down gently with a sledge hammer, but Freddy will make magic happen.
“I like that you believe that, because there would be no other way to deal with the heartache that awaits you…” that was a beautiful line 😂🤣
If I'm gonna be broke, I want to be broke with a p1.. You've got this dude 😂
ED&Fred are the heroes we need but don't deserve. These two together make the best car content .
This is approaching clarkson, May and Hammond level of banter and ribbing.
Ed's face is Priceless. 😂😂
This has the makings of being the most legendary transformation ever done to a car... if it doesn't end in bankruptcy.
Impossible, just needs to milk them videos and he will get the car for free
@@tnikoli40 the videos will never be able to generate enough money to cover the price of the car. He would need over 100 million views to earn anywhere near the amount of money he bought it for.
@@mathiasnkristensen how do you think he got and paid for all his other projects starting with the gallardo? 🤨
It blows my mind that he didn't at least attempt to offer less. I know to an extent It's a hot ticket item but I think he could have offered them quite a bit less, and come out with even more money to reinvest IMO
@@deyd.8659 how much was it
I love seeing Ed genuinely flabbergasted
Ed is wildly entertaining in this.
Ed looks like he has so much to say but has to hold back or find words... Funniest thing I've seen in a long time!!!! Good luck Freddy (you sure going to need it) and well done! 😂
I'm absolutely stoked over this build ... I've had a very rough four or five years in life and can really understand how difficult things have been for you in recent times. It can be so challenging but to see you pulling everything out and giving it your all is inspiring ... I have a very small and very poor car channel here in the UK and my mum has recently died after a long illness ... I haven't made a video in 7 months but seeing you with the P1 has made me want to do something again. Good luck with this!
Just a little carbon fiber Bondo 😂
@@Zzus321 Subscribed, keep your head up!
Sincere good luck man. New to your channels, you seem like a good guy so I hope you can pull this off.
"What have YOU DONE?" -Ed Bolian 2023
Ed hits it just right....the right guy to come see the car. cant wait to see the progress
Ed is having a ball, the shock is genuine, gotta love Ed, and Freddie
Ed's facial expressions say it all!
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Ed's face at 2:50 should be on a t-shirt and stickers for sale to help raise money for the build!
