Petition for Rabbit to get his own playlist on the channel.
That can certainly be arranged.
Rabbit and Ed needs to start narrating school books - kids would retain so much more of the information.
Get Exhausted LMAO
Here here
YES
“Chevrolet’s in drive ways, Dodges in garages and Fords up on the boards” ladies and gentlemen the multi talented, Time magazine human of the year, Rabbit Rob 🙋🏼♂️the Most interesting Man in the world 🌎
Bartender I really did it this time.......
Dont forget hes a car salesman. I like his stories too. But dont believe them as truths.
@@Colt45hatchback You said it. He can sell horseshit to a cow.
RIP Rabbit
Why was my dad not an ex drag racer, salvage car dealing, encourager of adolescent promiscuity?
Dad was a pretty cool guy. Like a mix between John Travolta and the Macho Man Randy Savage lol
Rob we still need to catch up some time soon before I run back out to Texas. Great stories man. I'm sure you can keep them coming for a good while yet.
Brett Bilger my grandpa was lol and he raised me
The man, The Legend
dude you need to write a book sometime this be amazing movie you and ed are amazing story teller with amazing life experience
"While all your buddies are off playing with themselves, you can go play with their girlfriends"
>tfw when you'll never be as cool as Rabbit OR his old man
Low Elevation RC its even better its your buddies are playing football and you can go play with their GF
People like Rabbit and his dad are generational. If we had more people like them we'd have much less interesting stories.
RIP Rabbit. I hope you're able to flip cars in heaven
"I liked her better than my REAL grandma!"
Damn 😂
Poor grandma...😞
That’s tuff 😂
Rest in peace Rabbit. I read a comment on one of your videos once, and it was so true. "This man lived more in one of his stories, than most most of us get to do in our lifetime". Thanks for the stories and giving of yourself so freely to the automotive community, really wish I could have bought you a beer and swapped a story with you. We'll miss you brother
RIP Rob
I just found out who Rabbit is and also finding out he passed away is devastating.
We always love a good Rabbit story. Clearly, he started young!
his father couldn't have started that ball rolling any better. "you've had a real bad week, I bought you a car"
Rabbit or Ed = Verbal Gold!
Rob is one of the best story tellers on here.
I love listening to Rob Pitts' stories, he just got you another sub!
Also, could you guys please start identifying the storytellers in your video titles?
I would greatly appreciate that and I bet a lot of other subscribers would as well, thanks!
We need a 30 minute rabbit story
My guy Rob has sold X-ray machines, financed a 200 year old grandma a 3/4 ton pick-up truck, outsold the dealership's best employee on his first day, is there anything he *CANNOT* do ??
Tabarnacos2 Apparently quit smoking.
Tabarnacos2 go to space ? Lol
give birth
Park in the school parking lot
Rabbit is the fuckin man
I think rabbit might be my favorite VINwiki story teller next to Ed
Get Exhausted yessssss
Dont forget about Doug. Those three are the trifecta.
Like I wanna think he's a hustling prick, but he just seems so chill.
Like he's the kind of guy I'd walk up to with the full intention of popping him in the mouth, but I'd meet him and go have a beer together.
Better than Ed
tough call who goes first. id have a hard time deciding.
Man how the heck do you get such good story tellers. There are no stutters or camera shy moments at all. Just amazing how there doesnt seem to be any edits, it transitions perfectly.
You don't stutter and stumble over your words when you make your living talking people into a deal!
His side-hustles had side-hustles. I like how hard he worked to figure out ways around problems and profit from them.
It's the enterprising American spirit. Definitely an inspiring and motivational fellow.
RIP Rob, you are one of if not my favorite story teller, Godspeed
I laughed entirely too hard at this story. This is GOLD!
Justin Register I thought I was the only one😂😂
+1 lol
BECAUSE YOU'RE A NOOB
Damn this dude is hustling in high schoool making moves. Very smart guy
Man, I could listen to Rob and Ed tell stories all day. Great stuff!
It's the bass in their voice :D
And Doug
Its awesome
Don't forget Christopher
We’re gonna miss you buddy. Gosh Damn this hits hard.
I want to hear every story this man has to tell. More, please.
Concerning Reality MORE PLEASE
“Chevrolets in driveways, Dodges in garages, and Fords on the boards” 😂😂
"I was fat, slow and smoked like a tar kettle." ROOOOOOOOOOOFL...Rob is friggin hilarious.
Him & ED need to do a podcast just so I can listen to them talk
Rob you're probably way cooler than your old man. He would be proud.
You can't out Hustle the Hustler.
I'd buy a car off this guy even if I knew he was ripping me off. He's that much fun to listen to.
And this comment is what is wrong with America
@@goranmarjanovic1401 it’s just a comment on a car video bruh chill
I was born in 1997, my first car I purchased was a 1997 Pontiac trans am with 76k miles. What a great first car, taught me so many lessons on driving and life. Glad you have the same memory of the legend of the T/A
You, my friend are a true hustler. Tip my hat to you
Every time I wear my VINwiki t- shirt people want to know what is a VINwiki. Lol
Rabbit's dad sounds like he was cooler than Rabbit
where do you think he got it from. sure alot was his own doing. i think, but im sure daddy taught him well
When Mr. Cool calls you Mr. Cool, you know you're cool.
I grew up in Greenville so every story I hear of his I know everywhere he is talking about so it makes them even better.
Clicked as fast as I could for a story about rabbit.
my favorite story from rabbit RIP you will be missed
Last time I was this early, the roads were still open in Chicago.
last time i was this early, democrats still had slaves
I like you, Rabbit. “Improvise, adapt overcome”. Love the story with you new grandma. Park in a garage while Miss Miserable is walking in the rain.
Loved that story. I recall being ejected from my high school parking lot for several violations. Parking in the street out front wasn't fun.
Ozzstar my high school had a big oval roundabout in front of the school courtyard. Best place to park if you have a nice car.
I always parked off campus. Drug dogs be damned
The smokeshows were worth it tho. Dad making me sell the car wasn't, but my senior year smokeshows were epic.
My high school did not even have a parking lot, ironically we all all began to be late for first classes after we got our drivers license because it took so long to find a spot and walk over.
I park in the auto shop at my school. I have a cool shop teacher.
I can honestly say that I’ll never get tired of robs stories. He is the man.
And just when I thought today might not be awesome...Hot Rod to the rescue.
Gus Kipper Hot Rob*
I remember the day my dad gave me the keys to the car we built. 88 iroc z. Got it the day I was born. We spent the next 16 years worked on it. 16th bday it was mine. Had no idea! Still have it. Awesome story about your pops!! Love these!!
M so cool, my grandpa did the same thing the day i was born bought a 76 mustang and i grew up building it till i was 17 with him and he handed me the keys the day we finished it
I love Iroc’s. I think it’s my favorite gen of Camaro. I want one some day but I feel like they’re going back UP in price so I might be SOL
i fucking love this guy!
"While they're off playing with each other, playing football, now you can go play with their girlfriends." Had me dying LMAO
Ferris Bueller, eat your heart out!
BEULLER!.....
Dude props to that old lady for letting him park in her driveway people like that should always be appreciated and cared for :)
The best story teller on vin wiki!
Ahmad Abdallah it’s close between him and Ed
My rankings are Rabbit, Ed, AMS guy, then the guy with the hearse
Heck yeah man you inspire me I'm a senior in high school and so far I've bought and sold 2 cars for a profit. Unfortunately my parents are immigrants that have no idea how to work on cars so I had to do it on my own. Right now I'm working at a truck wash as an after school job.
Where was this guy when I went through school? Would have hooked up SO quick....
Brilliant, and ententertaining stories! Made me smile, thanks!
"When the boys are playing football you can go play with their girlfriends"
NUTS GADEE HAAAAA
Ed and Rob are the two best on this channel!! I love hearing their stories and they have amazing personalities and stories!!
Rob isn't even selling me anything and I keep coming back to his videos. This guy is AWESOME!
Awesome story Rabbit!👍👍 School parking I _always_ parked in Teacher Parking! Of course it helped my parents were teachers🤣. Also enjoyed your “oil racket” story!! I had a similar experience with _entrepreneurial spirit_ years ago... I worked for a business that often times had a lot of leftover metal fixtures, displays, etc. The option for the business was to rent a special dumpster for a monthly fee & _pay_ for it to be hauled away. I said, _”Don’t do that & don’t worry about it. I got this.”_ A friend of mine ran a salvage yard & bought all sorts of scrap metal. We’d meet out back once a month, load it onto his truck & trailer, away he’d go. He’d return later with some 💰 for me!! We’d split the loads 60(me)/40(him)!! Turned out to be pretty lucrative for both of us; not going to say now much but easily quadruple digits every year 💵. Like you said at 7:34, idk what they thought when I left 😳😳🤣😂
Robs stories are the best. That old lady sounded so nice. I wish I could’ve been able to do that 😂😂😂 I used to park next to the teachers mustangs and the teachers knew but my principal hated me 😂
Please get more rabbit stories or get him to narrate a documentary his voice is so smooth and relaxing I want more!! XD
He got me at “Now while your buddies are playing with each other you can go play with their girlfriends” lol
He is one of my favorite VINwiki storytellers. It would be nice to have a playlist for each person to make it easier to find our favorites.
Rob Pitts is the best contributor to VINwiki BAR NONE. The stories, the delivery, heck when you can get this kind of entertainment on UA-cam you know cable TV is doomed.
"fat, slow, and smoked like a tar kettle"
I'm DYING. Love these videos
Dude, Rob is seriously my favorite presenter on the show. The dude's just fuckin' got it.
Rest easy brother ❤
This guy is by far my favorite on this channel... Keep em coming!
Rob, the master of Finesse LOL
sgfreak96 LOL... ?
Med Otaku it means “laugh out loud”
I could listen to rabbit talk about cars all day I literally have vinwiki on playing in background while driving my recovery truck and rabbit just make me smile and paints a picture in ya mind 👍👍👍👍
If it's Rabbit, it's gonna be a good time
This guy is an amazing storyteller! His voice sounds like he smoked a carton of cigarettes, Drank a 5th of Jack, and swallowed a bucket of nails and glass! I could listen to him all day!
Rob really knows how to tell a story.Hell I would listen to him even if the stories weren`t true. :P
I bought a 1995 Firebird formula 2 weeks ago. It is awesome!!! 53k miles, T-tops, red paint, 6 speed manual, had a full aftermarket exhaust, an intake, and a hurst shifter when I bought it. $10,500!!!
damn the world lost a great one rip rabbit
The story about the little old lady is so wholesome, she probably didn't get to many visitors and Rabbit would make her day.
While your friends are playing with themselves you can play with the girlfriends, Rabbits dad is a fucking HERO.
Dad was a pretty cool guy. Like a mix between John Travolta and the Macho Man Randy Savage lol
Rabbit is one of my all time favorites on this channel, he should have his own playlist! Please more Rabbit stories. I am a car salesman now and have worked nearly every other job in the industry, he and I are kindred spirits! Love listening to Rabbit any time I have a chance.
Sometimes I wonder if Robs full of crap , but I’m to the point now that I don’t care because he tells his stories so well !
Rusty Shacklfort just appreciate how well he tells the story
No way. Some of his colorful descriptions may be in the eye of the beholder but his stories have too much flow to be lies
well in this video he mentions how he always had mustangs in highschool, but he just said he had a trans am...
ua-cam.com/video/s1FR1GZq9ic/v-deo.html
@@frostbite1991 his dad was a dealer so maybe they sold the transam and he got a mustang
@@frostbite1991 same vid 2:30-ish "I had a trans am, freshmen year ..."
I have no clue who Rob Pitts is...but the stories he tells are head and shoulders above....PLEASE more ROB!!!
"now when your buddies are off playing football, you can play with their girlfriends" savage af
with that *smoooth* voice he could read me the telephone book and still be entertained and soothed, he´s like that cool uncle i never had
I love listening to his stories! I just recently started watching vinwiki after stumbling upon his banned from eBay video and absolutely love this channel! Keep up the good work guys!
In high school, when I wasn’t driving my 86 Firebird, I drove my dad’s 96 Honda Accord with a 5 speed. He’s a teacher at the school, but he likes to ride his bicycle to get some exercise in. But of course, his car had the teacher parking permit on it, so every day that I was feeling lazy for almost a year, I would scoop up a giant bowl of ice cream from a gallon bucket in the freezer, balance it on the passenger seat, drive to school before it melted, Park in the teacher parking lot right up next to the building, and walk into first hour bio with a massive bowl of mint chocolate chip for breakfast. This of course also allowed me to be late to just about any class I wanted because I could just ask my dad for a pass, and take the elevator to get to my classes on the third floor whenever I wanted.
Over the next summer, I had been working on the previously mentioned Firebird with my grandfather, so I was starting to know my way around a car and an engine. I decided to take a small engines class, just for kicks because it was pretty much the only automotive class offered. But when everyone else was building lawnmower engines, my teacher realized that I could be doing better. So he just pulled me aside and had me swap the motor in his 72 blazer.
If you want to see either of my two firebirds, my grandfather’s corvettes, or the 73 catalina that I’ll be picking up soon, you can check them out on Instagram under the_supreme_pessimist.
And vinwiki, if you need another short story teller, shoot me a message. ;)
Rabbit could try sell me a white t-shirt with oil stains and a smashed guitar, and I would buy 10 of each, let’s just say that
Lots of nice "stories". I was in auto shop in high school. Wasnt nothing that got on school property that half the vocational wing didnt know about and our auto shop was in its own building. This dude is a great story teller.
Very funny. I almost had the same experience. I had worked since I was 14 years old. Saved every penny and bought a brand new hsv clubsport for my first car(I live in Australia it's was a pretty nice muscle car made here at the time)
I show up first day of senior year with my brand new muscle car, had an exhaust and a nice set of wheels. So it stood out against the mini vans and beater cars of other students. Parked it in senior parking and first day someone did a burn out leaving the Carpark not me. I already had a not so great reputation at the school from a mispent youth in the earlier grades but was taking my senior year seriously, bucking down as they say. I hadn't got into any trouble for a while at this point But they still didn't like me I was a smartass jackass being 17 and made it very known to the teachers and administrators that I had a nicer car then they did. I was not doing anything wrong but really didn't like authority at that age at all.
After the person did this massive burn out leaving the car park I was pegged for it, taken up to the assistant principals office and just ripped a new one the next day profusely claiming my innocence the whole time. They eventually banned me from driving to school. I was not to drive or park my "suped up car" as they said, at school.
Well I hated the bus and there was no way I was getting the train didn't even live close to a station so it's basically my only way to school so I told them flat out if I don't drive here I can't attend my education.
They said I could park it on the street, but not in school grounds. To piss me off as it was a nice car for the time and they knew I just bought it and the road was a busy road.
But I drove it every day of the year parked it in the same spot every day in the seniors parking lot. It was principal to me. I didn't do it so the punishment was unjustified. They threatened to tow it but never did. They left notes to see the principal which i completely ignored. I was a vengeful kid back then so I knew how to play the long game. It was a constant fight with themover a damn parking spot. The assistant principal never gave up though. He even called police to set up speed traps to catch students leaving the school. Like we are 17. There are going to be crazy kids but he was going out of his way to get them. It backfired and a heap of parents ended up getting fines hahaha.
Needless to say on the last day of school I did the hugest burnout in the parking lot the whole senior class (I attended an all boys Catholic school) basically watching as well as the car park monitor(usually a teacher this day the assistant principal) I drove up to him after i successfully filled the car park with tyre smoke, rolled my window down and said "that one was me sir" and drove off. I felt pretty cool in that moment. Now i realise I was just a little shit and didn't like authority. But who does at 17.
L E G E N D
my buddy did a donut in the parking lot during school hours (the seniors get out super early on their last day because it's just graduation practice) and I filmed him doing it. well everyone cheers him on and he leaves pretty quickly. of course there's also a bunch of teachers and principals out there as well as students and they get to hunting. turns out the assistant principal saw me filming and asked me who it was as he was texting the school cop. of course I say I have no idea (what can be do I technically don't go there anymore) so I tell my buddy who's actually hiding in his car in the lot to just get the hell out of there. so he goes dumps his car at his house and goes out with us. apparently the cops came to his house and talked to his mom and told him to call them back, his mom acted like she didn't know English, and he never called and nothing ever came of him. funniest thing is we don't even live in the same town we go to high school we live the next town over so there was very little the police could do out of their jurisdiction. unfortunately that was probably the highlight of my buddy's life and the donut wasn't even that good.
@@eliwilson3902 ha nice one, yeah mispent youth with cars is always fun....sometime tragic though we did have a few kids who over stepped their skill and ended up dead.
Me and my mates were pretty reasonable compare to most of the car kids at my school. One kid rolled his car with his head out the window. Ended up with a TBI. Brain damage basically. We were on the road that night and saw it happen. He was driving way too fast clipped the curb.
In my day doing stupid shit in cars was a bit of a right of passage, most of the cops didn't care if you were somewhere you can only damage your car. Yes we did stupid shit but as safe as we could.
These days people are filming themselves doing stupid shit in risky areas, cops have slammed down on cars and car mods. I live in Australia think of California x100.
You can still mod your cars but there are taxes and red tape all over the place and all because these kids who go way too far ruined it.
I'm glad I got to enjoy those times at least for a few years until they clamped down.
And like I said I thought I was cool back then doing that huge burnout and it felt great but you look back and ya like ohhh man I was such a little douche 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's
Rob. Pure gold. Your whole life needs to be on Vinwiki!
Rabbit always makes my day better, I just got blackmailed with expulsion by my school but now I'm feeling better
I Took a Autobody Class at the Local Tech School in My Hometown... I had a old Chevy Chevette... So I fixed it up and painted it with a custom flame job and renamed it ..
The Shove - Vette...
I told people I had to Flame my Vette..
That had to be the Coolest Chevy Chevette Ever... 5 slot mags... white letter tires...
Made a Cheap Car Look Really Good... It's all I Had...or Could Afford back then... But I Made it work...
Y’all want more views. Put his face in the thumbnail so we know it’s one of his stories.
2:00 had the same problem with an assistant principal at my high school, so when she complained about my little 01 impala, I brought in my other car: a 1970 Lincoln Mark III, and I have 3 sets of plates for this car, from the previous owners (on top of more paperwork than any other Lincoln out there) so I just started switching out the plates... And the car was too long and wide for a parking space.... So I took up 4. When that ran out, I bought a new (old) car, and put historical plates on that one, and switched out the parking pass. No fees from the state, and it got to the point where the school wanted me gone, to the point where I switched to an engineering school. Fight the system! You're my hero! 😂👌🏻
BRUHH HIS DADS A SAVAGE! "While all your buddys are playing football you can play with their girlfriends"
This guy needs to come back once a month. Love his stories and the personality
Benn saving this one all day! I love his stories man, Lived up to my expectations.
I could listen to rob tell stories all day
Well in the fifth grade I sold little bags with Kool-aid, sold it at school with a lollipop and called it happy crack....bought my first PlayStation with that money. Had happy crack dealers (my friends) who sold with me. It was good untill a girl from the other class told her mom. Her mom complained and got one of my two friends suspended. He denied everything(like you should always do) and a day or so later, a flyer was sent home saying anyone selling powdered candy at school will be suspended and possibly expelled...and of course my company was cited haha. Still have that flyer today as one of my first successful businesses. Not automotive related, although I did buy need for speed with the money from happy crack .....one of the main reasons I'm a car enthusiast today. Good times....anyone have any good stories?
Never clicked on anything faster in my life, get Rob on here as much as you can.
Rest in peace to the legend.
Ed thanks for making vinwiki, rabbit is my fav along with you, You have made car loving more fun
Nothing like waking up to a Rob or Ed video
This dude is awesome, hope to part take in similar auto entrepreneur opportunities like this man, I’m 19 years old and have the biggest passion for cars, glad to see that there more people that enjoy similar interests
I want this guy to narrate documentaries because his voice is soothing
This guy is a legend...I could listen to his stories ALL day lol
I could listen to him talking forever. How can you say no to that accent 😂
I can listen to him all day . This gave back some memories i alway parked my cars in the teachers parking lot
I love this guy!! His stories are always awesome!! He needs to be on more!
I just found this channel a few days ago, it's so good. Consistent good quality.
"While they're playing football, you can go play with their girlfriends."
Epic.
Rob's vids are the best. Great story teller
Ended up waking up from a nap at the office for this. Worth it.
This is one of my favorite contributors. His stories are golden.
