    That orange Murcielago SV in Singapore was a e-gear. I saw that car in person and have taken multiple pictures of it in that same garage. I've contacted you before to inform you about the misinformation you've been given but you probably missed out on it. That car is NOT a manual.

    The only thing I wish you guys would do as far as Contant goes, is make your long form video slightly louder in volume. I feel that these videos are one of the quietest videos I watch often on UA-cam, and if you could just turn up the production, volume three or four clicks, that would be fantastic. Thank you guys for everything that you do and I cannot wait to watch more of your videos!!

    I saw you in Indianapolis while you were driving your Verde Draco Murcielago while I was in my GR86, and that was a surreal moment to see you randomly on the street. Saw you earlier the year at Amelia Island in the Spyker as well. I wouldn't change a thing about your channel because what you do is why so many people gravitate towards your channel. It is the only car channel that has these unique stories about things that have happened and about cars that have surprising histories. I've been a long time listener since I was in middle school, and now I am in college. I wouldn't change a thing!

    If you want to make a truly epic trip in your porsche Cayenne, fly them back up to Alaska, then drive from the furthest north road all the way to the furthest south road in chile. Driving the full length of north and south america would be an incredible road trip. And since a fair bit of the roads won't be maintained or even paved your offroad, modified cayennes should be the perfect vehicles to do it in.

    Afternoon, Ed. Love the channel. You asked what you could do better this upcoming year. I'm in no position to suggest what you could do better but I do have an idea. As you know, the use of "superchats - $" is a growing thing now for those who stream live. I'd love to see a monthly live stream solely dedicated to a specific charity or cause. That way, fans could chat live with you all and the funds would go toward a specific charity. Loop in advertisers as appropriate - maybe willing to match the super chat(s) up to a specific number. I think many fans would leverage the ability to superchat AND support a meaningful charity/cause. You're already highly engaged with us in the chat, but this would be an awesome way to make a meaningful impact throughout the community. Heck, let your top 2023 storytellers pick a charity! Just an idea. Thank you, and appreciate your time.

Something like a weekend long event where people could buy spectator tickets but also an opportunity for many of these collectors and guys that tell stories to bring their cars to a venue, and even allow for some of the viewers to bring their cars as well. Could be live stories, nice dinners, maybe even group cruises (would have to be split into classes depending on number of attendees).

It's frustrating enough trying to tell the appraiser at my dealership that not every seat has an ass. They need to be able to know that the car or suv that they're appraising sucks butt. Yes, I get paid for their mess ups, but I'm also tired of explaining why a 2004 Nissan Murano is shit even if it is one owner and only has 134k on it.
