To the guy who got Ed to recite the Fitness Gram Pacer Test intro, you’re a legend

"You have a voice for radio"-this is a compliment. "You have a face for radio"- this is not.

I really enjoy hearing Ed speak. He is clear and doesn't use fill words.

"...You get me today" We're happy to watch 2 hours of you answering questions on interesting topics.

As I'm not religious, I appreciate the fact that you don't use your platform to preach to people, and I'll forever defend your right to believe what you wish. Love the channel and content. Here's to another million. Also, I'm an Arkansas resident, thank you for exposing how weird the cops are here.

I reaaly appreciate the effort that went into making this 2 HOUR LONG video & time-stamping the whole thing. Srsly, good job

Ed’s lawyer story: we met smack dab in the middle at 5 years with 10 years probation

Oh man, Ed would have been an amazing lawyer. Could you imagine the shrewd negotiating going on is that court of law?

I could listen to this guy talking forever not gonna lie

3:30 As an agnostic, I appreciate that I've been watching this channel for a year and am just now discovering your faith.

AMEN!! God bless you my guy!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your faith and you just raised y respect 1000000x higher!! "Deny me in front of your friends and ill deny you in front of my father" I got ad love for you and Vin Wiki!!!!!

"The bank bought it and they let me drive it." - Ed Bolian Cant wait to start using this lmao

I'm not one for leaving comments, but I just have to say how much I've appreciated your channel, I'm a newly born again Christian and hearing someone I hold in high Standards outline there faith has brightened my "stay at home day" through out the years you have first turned me onto a entire new hobby through getting involved with my community and volunteering when able. Although I'll never experience the "supercar" aspect of it I do enjoy living vicariously through your channel. So THANK YOU FOR THAT! I dont want to waste your time (if you even read this) so I want to just say Congratulations on all your great ventures but mostly your new Daughter and wonderful family God has blessed you with, 1.1M subscribers, the success and wealth you have worked hard for means nothing without that strong family relationship you seem to have with yours! Take care and I pray for the continued support from your fans and large success from all! Being a "nobody" from a small suburban area outside Detroit I'm glad that I have the chance to say Hello! Take care & I hope to see you next time your doing a run through Michigan. The last few rallies I missed because supporting the family and charity of youths affected with the opioid crisis seems to drain the funds as I produce them but it is what I feel I have to lol...take care and God Bless

I want to personally thank #EdBolian and #VinWiki along with the generous sponsors of the channel for not only making today's content possible, but the entire VinWiki experience as well. The fact that Ed spent 2 hours answering viewers questions shows to me the level of appreciation he has for all of us as subscribers. I especially appreciate that Ed gave his personal testimony about his relationship with God and how his life has been blessed because of it. May God continue to bless you all.

"you get me again" Ohhhh... such a shame... ohhhhh, how shall I ever recover from this pain... sooooooo sad...

Wow! A born again Christian! That's pretty cool, and never thought that of you! God bless you, all the glory to God!! That impresses me more than any lembo you have!!

Listening to him talk is probably the most entertaining event I've encountered throughout this pandemic.

Nothing more entertaining than Ed shrewdly negotiating his way through stories

I'd love to hear an audio book spoken by ed

"Earth is round and I know it, I have certainly been around enough to see it work that way" Wise Words

Everyone:you have a great voice! Ed: I dunno I just figured it was because I was ugly.

Great to hear your testimony! God bless you.

Now hearing the Cannonball food answer: What is the worst bodily expulsion moment on a Cannonball?

It’s nice having a 2 hour video of Ed’s voice to have playing in the background while at work :)

Great to hear you speak about God 🙏.

This was amazing to watch. I'm more shocked that I had Ed himself answer my question 1:32:23. Thank you so much.

Ed some how “we get you again” is not fantastic loss. In fact I would honestly rather have you do this again. Thanks!

It is a great blessing and encouragement to me to see someone in the automotive field with such a strong testimony! Thank you for all that you do!

I feel like ed is a chill dude to just sit down and have a beer with.

Thanks for answering my question Ed 😊. Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.

Stubbled across the daily uploads when you had 10k subscribers. Congrats on a million!

Wow Ed I never knew you were a Christian, thats amazing! That makes you my no.1 youtuber now, its great that there are others out there that love the Lord and also have a passion for cars!

Thanks for taking the time to produce this video, Ed. Beyond VINWiki, your Cannonball record, I feel, is truly an impressive accomplishment. You may not own as many cars as Jay Leno, but you are certainly a car guy that most of us can all look up to and admire. I'll bet it wouldn't be to difficult to involve Jay in an Car Trek adventure.

Thank you for posting my question! Thanks for taking the time to go through all of that!

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

This is the absolute best channel to watch on Quarantine. I’ve been watching for like a year or 2 now and I never get bored. Watched almost every video like 10 times

Love hearing ya talk about your faith! Awesome stuff!

Thanks Ed! Awesome Video I appreciated that. Hope to meet you one day, you made it on my bucket list. I've met a lot of people including Randy.

Very cool talk about your faith thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

“Hey you have a great voice for radio. But I just figured that means I’m ugly” 😂😂😂😂😂

You should have a Vinwiki after dark that talks about all the “naught” stories

She's welcome to take any of them she wants. We have insurance for that. LOL

Been binge watching this channel and decided you are my new hero. Bless you for proclaiming His name. I look forward to meeting you some day.

Thanks for answering my question man!

2 hour VinWiki video!? This is great. Something to watch with all of my meals today

Love that you share your faith on this platform!

“you guys in the comments are not the kindest to women” ok I laughed so hard at that one

Lord be with you Ed 😊

* Ed can't get the Ford GT allocation * Ed : '... Maybe if somebody fell of the list due to Covid ' I'm dead 😂😂😂😂

I'm newer to you're channel because Freddy. Been watching a ton of previous videos and have to say this has been my favorite yet. It's amazing to see someone in our industry thats so open and secure in their beliefs in our almighty God and creator. I love it. Keep up the great work and keep pushing forward. Enjoy your new family member. I wish you the best and hope to watch you build you're believes, family, and dreams.

I've been subscribed since before you guys had 10k subscribers. I remember finding the channel and being extremely impressed by the production quality for the size of the channel. I commented that you would quickly reach 100k and it happened not too long after. Now you're over 1M and it has been well deserved. Congratulations on growing the channel and all of your guys success. Always solid content on VINwiki.

Glad to hear that your a born again Christian..God bless you

Dude how could you not like Ed, man what a guy :D Seriously listening to him really gets me motivated to be more social than usual and be the best version of me and follow through on my goals. Well deserved million+ subs man

Ed you gotta be the man, because I can't believe I watched this Q and A in its entirety over a 2 day period.

I watched the whole thing. I could listen to Ed for 5 hours, just answering questions and telling stories.

Awesome man! God bless!

Question I forgot to put: have you ever seen rabbit putting gravel in his coffee?

That was a DEEPLY impressive delivery and great speaking! Bravo!

Great.... now I have to go visit the family in Helen, just to drive over to Toccoa for the museum. Thanks Ed....

I've never watched a 2 hour video, ever. I've said it before, Ed could probably read instructions on how to assemble IKEA furniture, and make it interesting.

Fitness Gram Pacer Test 😂😂😂😂i was crying when I heard that

2 hours of happy....... thank you.

Ed: I Love hearing you talk about your faith!!! Especially in such a comfortable way, you are living it out. I am right there with you!

This is the 2 hours I needed

It’s insane to think that Ed puts more miles a year on his Merci than I do on my daily

Well Ed, you sure love talking. And when you talk, I sure love listening. So as long as you keep talking, I'll keep listening! You are on the right track and path, just keep doing it, cause I love it. God bless you and your family. Stay safe.

Ed my friend you deserve 2 million plus. gonna spread the word. these stories put me to sleep. I dont mean this as a roast, i mean this as it puts my brain to work. last time i was in hospital recovering from surgery, i was listening to these stories, even the nurses knew who ed bolian was. we just listened.

Got my VinWiki shirt👍 love it! Thank You!

Loved this long format video !

ED!!! This was so cute! Loved hearing about your personal life and religion…..I could hear your real accent come out, I knew you felt passionately. So beautiful!!! Loved hearing from you-do more of these pleaaaase 😭🤌🏼

Congratualations!!!!! Well done....

“I just thought I was ugly” lol love this man

Ed, fantastic video as always. Cant wait to hear more about finding God. Best, J

Ever since I became a born again Christian, my life has seemed to fall into place too. Thanks for the commentary and validating that fact of your life! :-)

The Best story teller!

YAY. I could listen to you forever.

2:00 "walk arou- I mean crawl around" Slither. The word you're looking for is slither, Ed

Thank you so much for taking the time to entertain and educate on all these questions! You are and continue to be a rolemodel and true gentleman enthusiast

Thank god. Finally something entertaining to watch in quarantine.

CarTrek was amazing please do another one soon. It was the best version of Top Gear

Funny how I’ve been here since around 10k and y’all still use the same studio set up, like no need to change it amazing

Anyone else remember when vin wiki had 100k? I love you guys keep it up

So glad to hear you talk about your faith! I will praying that you can get some rest! Keep the faith and hard work going!

I’m personally not religious but I do enjoy seeing how confident ed is in his faith

Ed the type of guy to start a RU-vid channel about cars and talk about butt implants

Ed recovered his deep Narrator tone voice again. Like his needing a glass of water.

I watched every second of this. Ed offered more information about cars than most people need, and a lot of common (and uncommon) sense advice that we all need. I admire his wisdom, and wish I had applied more of that in my own life.

Will there be 2million this year? Thank you Ed, for sharing your faith.

Ed, you're the only person we need on this channel.

Ed thank you so much for being honest and open about your faith. I enjoy your videos here and look forward to many more to come.

I appreciate the honesty. You and Taverish .

Thank you so much for sharing your faith! May god Bless you even more!

“I had people tell me I had a great voice voice but I thought it meant I was ugly” gold

Thank you Ed, you and Doug are very proud that you love our lord, and it’s refreshing!

Congrats on the 1.1 million subscribers (now at 1.22 million)!! Your site has great content and great personalities that make me seem like I'm right there as these stories are being told.

2:30 Thanks for being bold and sharing your faith Ed! Proud of you brother!

At 52 mins the video may have sum problems and I had to fast forward it. It was right in the middle of his car wreck edit also at 55:03 too

"Saved by grace" - fantastic! Grace means "unmerited favor".

This. This is how you do an AMA!
