A tour of VINwiki Car Stories set

Ed has filmed over 500 Car Stories for the VINwiki channel over the last 2 years and the set has changed a lot during that time. It has even changed location. Ed walks through all of the interesting artifacts that are on display behind the interview chair.

1) Buy big house 2) Move business into house 3) File taxes accordingly

[@johnsullivan1577]

Youric Hunt If your business is in your house you can count it as your office and then you don’t have to pay as much in taxes

[@Jason-ty6ds]

What are the laws with running a business in a house?

[@whatevernevermind5960]

And be shrewd negotiator

[@HaynerTV]

@@Jason-ty6ds Depends on what state, city, and county you're in. Laws very vastly depending on location. It's best to look up your city's regulations and then backtrack form there.

[@DavidDavid-jb1cy]

@@HaynerTV Not true with respect to Federal income taxes.

@VINwiki should re-upload this to the VINwiki Channel way more people would see it and no more editing needed. :)

We are well entertained!!! and educated by y'all

@edbolian love seeing the Anderson county and blount county Tennessee tags because that's where i live . Keep up the great videos been watching since day 1 .

Hey ed would u like a Massachusetts license plate for the wall.. Didn't spot one on the wall in vid.. send it to you obviously free sir if you have a p.o box or business address I can send it to you

[@Fopeano]

As a detail oriented person, I'm surprised I never noticed changes to the set was occasionally the whole thing. Also thanks for reminding me to buy a vandalized 55mph sign. I'm already waiting for the email that tells me it's unfortunately out of stock. Thumbs up, Ed!

[@RexDogDelivers]

Ed I love how you plan everything out then when it comes time to move it you plan it so we see a seamless move etc... This is just further proof to why your channel will stay popular for a long time to come.

[@jamescansler6916]

Is it just me or does he have the worlds best storytelling voice, EVER

[@acrvids]

Thanks for posting this. I travel to Atlanta for work occasionally and I decided to go by the warehouse to see where it was. Last month the logo was still on the back door and "VINWIKI" was still on the office park sign that lists the tenants. Even though nobody is there, it was still magical to see the place where this channel began.

[@jakeakhtar9424]

Ed, I've only ever bought two items from KZbinrs. The first was an "A solid 5/10" shirt from Nick Murray (who I think would be quite an entertaining guest on the Vinwiki channel if you ever get the opportunity, and I get the feeling you two would probably get on well), and the second was one of of your very cool vandalised 55 mph signs. I've always wanted one of those signs, so finding out that not only could I buy one from you but also that some of the proceeds would go to charity was just too good an opportunity to pass up. The only downside is that I had to get it shipped to my parents' house in the US rather than directly to me in the UK due to the generally high cost of shipping a heavyish steel plate across an ocean, but on the upside it'll look great under the Christmas tree!

[@stymiesnerdly771]

Ed's changing the automotive world faster than he realizes. I'm in a BMW ///M owners group, and we've recently had a few of our older members get worked up into a panic. Apparently they've encountered numerous young folks taking pictures of their VIN tags during car shows. They understand people getting pics of the car, but pics of the VIN can only be used for nefarious & likely criminal activity! Thanks for all of the wonderful content Ed!

[@ThomasMichaelTX]

Thanks for taking the time to show us this, Ed! Your videos are something I look forward to each day!

[@EdBolian]

My pleasure. Thanks so much for watching.

[@CarswithNash]

I had noticed some stuff added and changed in the background but I had just assumed it was related to sponsorship agreements, I had no idea you had changed locations! Very cool set with a lot more history then I would’ve guessed.

[@acrvids]

What I really love about this video is that almost every piece on that set has a story behind it.

[@stephensmith8075]

I've always appreciated the effort put into the set/backdrop in the 'car stories' series. Great stuff!

[@EdBolian]

Thanks so much!

[@revolver265]

I'm so glad to get the tour of the set! It's been just a sort of background that has so many interesting bits, and on top of that, some good little references to the background during the story like the Oil Pan... Edit: I really like the garage but the echo is a little difficult. I suggest a cheap Røde microphone or one with a little fluff on it that would dampen some of the resonance and even out the sound. You could hold it like a newscaster microphone and it would be a lot easier on my speakers. I get that you've probably figured all that out already, since the echo on VINWiki set is totally gone. And also, thanks for waiting for people to finish watching the VINWiki video before posting this one. Awesome! I love more Ed Content.

[@TheFirBall]

This is a great companion channel for Vinwiki Love it

[@davethevtwinaddict2151]

I love the sound of Ed's voice I could just sit back and listen to it all day it's like Morgan Freeman you can just listen to him all day and I love how humble it is he hasn't let all the fame get to his head which is awesome

[@arxonbby]

I love these stories. They keep me going. I hear these stories about everything that is done to these cars and it makes me feel a little less crazy for throwing thousands of dollars at a Ford Focus with the intentions of putting it on a track one day when it's finished. Really almost anything is possible as long as you're smart enough to plan it out but dumb enough to try it. You just can't be too dumb and start making stupid decisions on the project as a whole or individual aspects and start cutting corners at any point durring the build. And that really goes for anything in life, but sometimes it's the cars that bring you to certain conclusions that may help you in other areas. I appreciate VINWiki, you, the stories, and everything I've been able to learn. Thank you

[@bramv7611]

almost everything in the set has a story behind it. amazing!

Hey Ed! Relatively new fan and have become somewhat of a KZbin addict due to various motoring journalists... Then I found VinWiki Car Stories! I'm a few weeks in and loving the content, new and old! I ordered your book and couldn't put it down. 2 days later I was done and can highly recommend it the rest of the fans watching, Ed's story telling makes you feel like you were tucked up next to Dan Wong in the back.. if there had been space. Keep it up man and great work from you and all the other story tellers and team members at VinWiki

This is SO COOL .. and SO INSPIRING .. I'm not the only one with all sorts of car bits and pieces sitting about kind of like the items in the VINwiki set .. not the same items of course (no Lambo wheels, but I do have some from a 911!) .. they are similar though in the sense they all have stories behind them, and I'm sure a lot of you out there have too .. probably most of you .. and I'm constantly adding to the collection .. just this last week a clutch plate from a top fuel dragster .. plus some ear plugs I had to reduce the noise from the cars, some of them making up round 150 dB .. and over 10,000 hp .. CRAZY .. one of them hit 322 mph .. in just 1000 ft !!! Happy collecting everybody !!! :-))))))) ...

That's the story set!!?? You did a fantabulous job with it! It looks like they're in a garage....

[@denniskitchen3965]

I always thought of the VIN wiki set as like the Monkees t.v. show sets where things in the background will b there in 1 shot but will be positioned elsewhere or upside-down or gone altogether In the next shot and i just always thought it would be cool to do with ur car stories set. And everyone who is invited to tell a story should have to bring something to contribute to the set as a requirement for having the opportunity to share there story and then as u grow and get more story stuff do another video like this one telling g us the story behind all the new stuff and the ppl may even and probably do have car stories behind the things that they would be contributing which could/should be taped for upcoming car stories. Just a thought. Love this channel I watch every day on my commute keep it up I love u guys

[@johnmitchell1419]

This is an awesome channel that is the "Personal" Ed. My suggestion is to us it like Doug does and do what you like. It doesn't have to tie to VinWiki but can be about your personal automotive desires. Good Luck!
