As long as Ed still doesn't swear. That would burst my bubble like my grandmother dropping an M-F-bomb....irregardless of the fact she's been dead over 15yrs. 😁
I was graduated from law school in May of 2010. It was the worst legal market since the Great Depression. Thankfully, I had gone to school with a full scholarship and my parents paid my rent ($233/month; got to love Alabama!), but I couldn't imagine what it felt like for my friends coming out with thousands of dollars in debt taking jobs which paid $20/hour (if they found one at all). They literally would have been better off going to work for McDonald's or Walmart out of high school and working their way up the ladder.
I paid less for mine.. It didn't have an engine. Tranny or interior. And I sold it a week later for 4600. There's always someone selling something cheap. My friends first car was a gallant vr4. He sold it to me for 1400. It had about 180k on it. I still have it. It's on its second engine. About 280 whp. She runs good
Well, no... Times were diffrent back then but not simpler. Sure, there were plenty of old cars to buy, but otherwise no one had the money since interest was quite high. No one could imagine that old cars would be sky rocketing at some point. Newer was better back then. At least at the viewpoint of most people. There was no internet also. So you had to dig into car magazines to have a feeling if a car is its money worth or not.
paid $2700 for an 1986 m3 with 92k in 2002. Probably stuck about $2k into it over the course of the 3 years of ownership and accumulated the same amount in tickets! Good times.
Also he'd tell how the potato seeds from the potatoes used in these chips came from the plantation owned by a Mexican drug cartel as a front and how this bag of chips was nearly bought by the man who claims to be the deceased Elvis Presley and also.. ok, you get the idea.
The Aztec people traded an enormous amount of gold for the first potato plants. And because the soil is so rich they grew the biggest potatos u can imagine. And very quickly they made back the gold and x3 the profit. But after the Aztec people left. The natives try their hands in potato farming. Of course they planted it in less fertile soil. The indian chef was furious. It goes on from there
M Yes random fact but part of what made the Aztecs so successful at farming is the combination of several things. They would burn thick forests to the ground then mix all the nutrient filled charcoal into the dirt. They would also use their own excrement as fertilizers, and the last and best of all is that they committed unimaginable amounts of mass human sacrifices to their gods atop the pyramids in the form of ripping a living human’s heart out. Scholars estimate the Aztec Empire would sacrifice anywhere from 20,000 to 250,000 humans every year, and then the human remains would be used as fertilizer
Fun fact Ed that wire that supports the telephone pole is called a “guy wire” I work for Verizon as a telephone man. I climb them every day.

Damn you're only like 3 years older than me. I seriously would've guessed you were at least 10 years older! Keep up the great work, and cant wait to see what kinda success you have in 10 more years.
I died a little inside when he said he crashed it. I've always loved the e30 M3 but I don't think they're worth the $30k that people pay for them now. I wish I'd gotten one while they were cheap. They used to sell in decent shape 8-10 years ago for well under $10k.
Hey Ed, I don't care the story you tell, I love HOW you tell the story, so full of colourful details and information that makes it great everytime! Cheers!!
Well I guess it could be worse. It's not like he told the guy that he was adopted and his mom and that guys mom were actually the same woman and that they were really long lost brothers and that he had discovered all this because he's in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant and there's a good chance that his biological brother would be compatible. Then told him it was April Fools after he had had the very painful test to determine if he is compatible of not. Now that would create an awkward silence.
Man what are you talking about? That van is awesome. All it needs is a full floating rear axle and 16 inch wheels with some good all terrains and a 4x4 conversion and it would be ready to go have some fun in.
you should bring in your friend and ask him to tell the story on how he felt, what he did to get the car back back, how he told people about the story of the demise of his car and what he drove after. there are so many things he could talk about
That’s absolutely insane. An E30 M3 is my dream I couldn’t imagine having one in highschool as a first car. You would hands down have the coolest car at school lmao
Your ability to spin a good yarn is one of the reasons for your success and VinWikis the ability to engage and not boor with stories is what this channel is about, love of cars and the gift of gab is the formula for success and evidently from my car buying experience is rare, I even coached a fairly new salesman when I flew in to pick up a car, we had about a 45 minute ride to the dealership and started taking, he’d only sold 3 cat, but they were all unusual, so I said that he had a great base to start with and that engaging is a good way to sell cars
My little brother is a die hard ol miss fan, so last April fools day I borrowed his truck and had it professionally wrapped in Mississippi State Bulldogs motif. He was pissed and wouldn't drive it till he was able to get it all removed 😂 its was expensive but completely worth it.
Erik i bought a m3 e30 for 7k few years ago, rebuilt the engine and tuned it for 10k driven it for few months and sold it for 35k because it started to rise in value, 2 years later i see the cheapesr one with 20-30k km is selling for minimum 50k mine had under 10k on odo meter.
Ed's Friend: Ed my man, thank you for helping me find out what happened to my Van. Ed: *Oh Shit* I'm sorry but the story about your van's demise was fabricated. *Cue "I'm all out of love" and Ed's friends facial expression from joy to disbelief*
Super random but I sold a pair of shoes to another car enthusiast last summer. So he arrived and we began talking about cars and he mentioned that he bought an E30 M3 for €1750 ages ago. Crazy how much they've gone up in value
10 years ago a family member sold his totally restored e30 m3 for something like £15k to a guy in germany. he had receipts for almost 30k in work he'd spent on that car, it was 9/10, close to immaculate. Would be a 50+ car now.
@jmarks881 I've got a 2 door 96 325is I love it when it runs it spends more time on the shop than in the road it's only got like 160,000 miles which isn't that bad for a 1996
Ed, you were too nice. You should have simply said, don't be silly! You believed that story dude. It was an April fool's joke. No apology was needed, haha.
I think that delayed confession add,s to the story. He can tell the whole story, then end it,,, it was all BS. forgot I asked him on 4/1... and he ran with it,,, them forgot lol
F #$%@ Yeah! A good story is absolutely worth its weight in the telling. It matters not if there is a shred of proof, but in the intimate details - considered and told in the live performance.

She bought one of those Michael Jackson jackets - and I never broke a smile as I told her how many Nauga's had to be killed to make her jacket! The story is the gold!
5:37 The request includes this line: "If not, then can you make something up so I can have some closure". April Fools Joke or not, you're absolutely in the clear.
That E30M3 was my first "car", not first vehicle What an Epic Ride ! Sold it to a clown that wrapped it around a telephone pole, nearly killed him, did kill the car
I too graduated a little after that time, and it was really disheartening at the lack of jobs I was qualified for. I don't think I ever really fully recovered from it.
What would have been the best end is of they went to a yard and then find it there but like real beat up. Wonder what Ed's reaction would be when he sees the van like 'I made that all up, how the heck did it actually get here' XD.
