Remember i mentioned a few weeks ago that the R8 was priced way too high. Im not surprised it didnt sell and had to traded. The price was too high for miles listed on it.
Ed, you met my wife at that little chevy dealer in Mississippi and sent me a video that day. I've been watching for 8 years and that made my month! Beautiful car
Ed, I just wanted to say for myself and I think a lot of other people that watch these videos keep the channel just the way it is. No sense in changing a great thing just because certain people, who got popular off this channel, now want to come in and criticize and tear it down just for some clout.
@@GreeneGuyTV Casey I don't know how to spell this last name I think his channel is Casey the car guy. The videos called something like illegal car UA-camrs suck from probably five or six days ago
I agree. He has done just as much dumb shit as anyone with the stories about being hated in his town because of all the stuff he done is his viper and now is going after others. I think he has lost it.
The GTC4 Lusso has to be kept on a good Ctek tender (it has a trick magnetic attachment on the rear bumper for the OEM tender that comes with the car). Cold mornings can cause the battery to be weak for startup and this car is super sensitive to voltage fluctuations. It will throw all those errors at the same time. But it's the PTU oil pressure error that you have to watch out for.
They leak internally and fluids mix from gear oil to actuator oil. Easiest way to tell is see how much actuator oil it takes to top it up to max. Then drain the gear oil and it will be over max by approx that amount of oil. Really common on ff and lusso.
There are a lot of these in Miami. I’ve always looked at them and said; “why?” I’ve never understood this oversized “hot hatch” and it looks a lot like a station wagon that got kicked in the rear but then someone I know bought one and I started looking at them from a different perspective. Now, I kinda like them. I get the feeling that driving one is why Ed has come around.
Had a drive in a GTC4 Lusso in Italy. Same length as a e60 BMW, but nearly a foot wider. Easy to drive as a Toyota Camry, just a lot more power! Beautiful interior too
The way Ed describes the cars he gravitates towards reminds me of how my step-mom accuses my dad and I of only buying "Special Needs Cars": rare, mechanically finicky, lots of check-engine lights, parts hard to acquire, high mileage, but high performance (when they run)!
As a person who buys special needs cars and the father of a special needs child this made me chuckle. I'll have to remember that phrase the next time my car breaks. Maybe it will lighten the mood a bit when telling my wife how much it's going to cost.
Can't believe how Casey is so full of himself to try to tell you what content you should have on the VINwiki channel. Rabbit made me aware of it and I'm totally blown out by how narcissistic he is. Please don't have him back. Love your reply to his text :)
Been a big fan of Eds stories for a long time....cant help but chuckle at the Bucees stop there. Fun fact, Bucees started store #1 just a skip and a hop from where I live.....keep the stories and the shrewd negotiating going!
I love this cause that's my local chevrolet dealership in New albany MS been in service since 1919 and our teeny tiny town went crazy with Ed Bolian a ferarri and an R8 in it tbh that dealership hasn't even had a C8 yet but it's had an R8 and ferarri that was a cool week
I have to agree Ed I too happen to love the FF . It's like the world's badest hot hatch . I like the way they look I mean it's no 458. Or a LP 640 . But it's wicked and certainly better than the Audi . Although that is still on my must have if I ever hit the power ball list. You know for the next Car trek you three should have a contest where each picks a random subscriber. And see which one can win the series of contest that you all typically do. At the end the winner gets the car . Example you see what team can turn the fastest lap time . All the cars are spected the same tho . So you guys get to train the winner from your channel. Of course Ed I would be glad and honored to be on your team . Since I missed out on the Vinwiki challenge from a few years back.
I'm the same age as Ed Freddie and Tyler. I realized recently that we're getting old now when I as well started shopping the FF and GTC4 lusso while trying to convince everyone around me that it's the best Ferrari you can buy. Because of it's usefulness and practicality 😂
When the FF came out I thought they ugly and didn't understand them. But now after the GT4 Lusso came out I got a new respect for the FF and now I absolutely love them. Especially if it has the V12.
The GTC4Lusso is definitely one of the coolest cars ever. I like that the Purosangue is based on it, but if Ferrari were to make a true successor to the FF/Lusso that'd be even better.
I agree with Ed that the GTC4Lusso is probably one of the best Ferrari's ever made. The Ferrari Purosangue is basically just a lifted GTC4Lusso. Uglier and worse in every way. And yet the Purosangue will probably sell in droves while the GTC4Lusso was the unloved stepchild of Ferrari's lineup.
The very early Ferrari 166 S I believe if you look at a picture of it and although the 250 GTO .... Anyway to blend funky and FAST retaining lines and oh so Rojo
Ed loves telling stories, (and he does it well), and he loves driving stories. If he hadn't got into cars, he would make a great novelist. Although he should write stream of conscious into a recorded.
Hi, Ed! I enjoy your videos and have one (hopefully clever) note. Instead of “Ed logic”, how about saying “Bolian logic”. It’s a play on Boolean logic. Cheers and keep up the fine work!
Have a car question...this feels like the right place I recently came into a large windfall about $600,000. I'm definitely going to invest $400,000 into the stock market and so that leaves me with about $200k for a car. I'm thinking of getting an Aventador or Huracan but I was curious if I should lease or buy. I know some exotics do appreciate in value but not sure if these are them. I'd be daily driving the car with about 8000 miles a year.
As a new fan of the channel and an old fan of racing, I have to ask: it’s not an if, but a when… when will VINwiki and/or autotempest sponsor a NASCAR? :)
Ed: We're now in quarter 2 of 2023... 0:24 Um, no. It's March 17th, so we still have 2 weeks to go before Q2 begins (unless your fiscal 2023 began in 2022, of course, or you released this video a little earlier than planned).

I love the Lusso. Nice catch. I think the car is gorgeous and as you said useful.
I got the pleasure of hearing one start up in my friends garage back when they first came out. Freaking screaming loud and sounds amazing.
The christmas tree issue is probably just the battery being low. Happened a few times with me (with an 812) and quite a few other people too.

Sounds like a heap of expensive junk. For the price, you'd think they'd be better cars.
@Jalen Davis other than that the ff are pretty good tho so 1 part that they externally sourced isn't a bad win/loss ratio

So what life choices are you gonna start making differently?
@@SupremeShuckle Cheers mate 🥂😅
If you can afford a 1999 Honda civic, you can afford the worst Ferrari ever made. It’s called a Mondial
Just do the Goliath race over and over, I own 5 Ferraris.

I wonder who is going to be the first youtuber to buy the *highest mileage Purosangue* in the USA, maybe in 24/30 months time

You men the R8 ? Because the RS6 is a better car than this , in my opinion.
Always wanted a ff or gt4clusso. Will never be able to afford one, so settled with a panamera turbo. Pretty happy with that
Great story Ed, love watching and listening to you and your stories, keep up the good work

As far as modern Ferraris go these are easily my favorite. Shoutout to his dealership for the warning 😅
Definitely the Ferrari I'd own.
I remember seeing this Ferrari at Barnes crossing Chevy. Really loved looking at it whenever I visited Jackson
I was so focused on his speech while waiting for him to FINALLY take a breath
lol it was bought in tupelo, ms. We are a little over 4 hours north of jackson. about as far one can get from jackson and still be in the state
Crazy thinking, "I just bought a $100k car. It should break any second now"
A Rwd Lussi is available. Has even more torque than the awd. But that’s cuz they stick a TT V8 into it. Unfortunately it only hits 199 mph
The GTC4Lusso is definitely one of the coolest cars ever. I like that the Purosangue is based on it, but if Ferrari were to make a true successor to the FF/Lusso that'd be even better.

Im a total geek for the FF, and its actually in my price range. Unfortunately, it's its unreliable nature that got them down into that price range
Ed and Chris’s stories make me want to live in Georgia.
Nice one! Will we ever see Doug in the VINwiki channel?
The very early Ferrari 166 S I believe if you look at a picture of it and although the 250 GTO ....
Anyway to blend funky and FAST retaining lines and oh so Rojo
Oh, the 400i? Yeah, what a fantastic machine! 🤣
I understood that reference.
That tech at Ferrari saw something and wanted to save you money
The utter irony of the world's shrewdest negotiator being the guy who is sold an extended warranty for his car. They haven't gotten me yet.
I love how eds transitioning into his James may short phase.
What was the trade in on the R8?
Ed loves telling stories, (and he does it well), and he loves driving stories.
If he hadn't got into cars, he would make a great novelist. Although he should write stream of conscious into a recorded.
The GTC4Lusso is my favorite Ferrari they've ever made. I'm not much of a Ferrari guy, but that car is my exception.
I see Ed’s face, it makes my mondays better. Great story
Our favorite storyteller 🫶🏻
Ferrari FF and GTC4 are fantastic cars. An unbelievable combination of talents. Try it out and you will be impressed.
That Ferrari was in my hometowns Chevrolet showroom floor for a few weeks before you got it. Never seen the R8 in the dealership after trading 🤔
Add at the end of the video warms my cold UA-cam heart
Besides my 458, the GTC4 Lusso is definitely the second Ferrari I’d acquire if I ever found the perfect one
Hi, Ed!
I enjoy your videos and have one (hopefully clever) note. Instead of “Ed logic”, how about saying “Bolian logic”. It’s a play on Boolean logic.
Cheers and keep up the fine work!
Great story Ed!!! 🎉🎈
2+2 V12 Ferraris are the best kept secret in the car world. Even the 400i.
Says a lot about the R8 when spending $500/month on a warranty is more desirable
Doesn’t matter what Ed’s talking about, I’m listening. Would love to see him have Doug Demuro on for some stories, or anything at all
I remember Doug said he would do it eventually the next time he was in Atlanta but you can tell he's not in a hurry
To me it's an Italian clown shoe. BUT I'm old school and would still love myself THE last V12 FR/6MT Ferrari: 550 Maranello.
Bumper to Bumper!
Awe man when are you going up to the buccees I wanna see that carrrrr

Never, they’re all grifters and idiots.
Never
V12 FERRARI what else has to be said. Great car Ed
“More wholesome content. You can afford a few less views” 😂
Never thought a full blooded lambo guy would buy and praise a ferrari. Cool car.
Edit: forgot the scud 😅
Ed can tell a story about how he got hemorrhoids horse back riding a Ferrari and I’d click.
Ed this happened to my dads gtc4lusso good thing he has warranty. It blows eventually
Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏼
I'm drinking the same Kool Aid as you, Ed. And I find it delicious.
Why do I watch these?! I could not care any less about these cars, but Ed’s storytelling is just transfixing.
Dude u gotta pause and breathe, u did not take a single breathe lol
My favorite modern Ferrari, Lusso > LaF.
This and the FF are the weird ferraris and i would love to at least drive one of them at some point, with the v12 of course
"I bought the best Ferrari ever!"
"Yes it sucks at everything ferraris are for, but it does toyota camry things well!"
Very nice Ed. I’ll be by soon to take it on a little spin.
Ed: This is the best car Ferrari ever made.... 3 minutes later .... Ed: at 28.000 miles. it needs a small box which is 36.000 bucks..... ha..haaaa
Ed Bolian, the greatest storyteller of our generation
I liked that oddball ff
Is this the Enzo wagon?
Hey uh, when will the app work again?
That’s one Ferrari that needs a warranty they leak like no other
It’s better than an R8… as long as that THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLAR PART doesn’t break out of warranty.
It’s a lowered Purosangue
i want a ff or gtc4lusso v12 cant go wrong
I kinda like the black. Maybe just ad sliver and red stipes hehehe.
After seeing this video and seeing what happened to Tavarish, im convinced there is a Sam Hard curse....
“We’re in Q2 of 2023” no, we are in Q1…
Ed: We're now in quarter 2 of 2023... 0:24
Um, no. It's March 17th, so we still have 2 weeks to go before Q2 begins (unless your fiscal 2023 began in 2022, of course, or you released this video a little earlier than planned).
Oops. Good catch. Thought we might hold this one a bit longer.
Who fuckin cares
@@VINwiki Love the car, though. I never really thought much about them until I saw Tim (Shmee) take his all over Europe. And the sound is glorious!
It’s not worth getting Ferrari, Ferrari = Firerrari! 🔥
Q2?
R8. German reliability. German level of sexy (not a lot). Under appreciated car.
Seats were designed by the Spanish Inquisitions most talented torturer.
Most likely the only Ferrari that doesn’t catch on fire…
Ed bought himself a Ferrari M Coupe lol.
I saw one of these at a longhorn.
well we're actually still in Q1 2023
$500 a month to warranty a Ferrari seems like a very good deal to me.
ed lives for cars that have issues. ED i would love to see your wife talk about whats it like to be married to you lol.
