Ed, as a Viper owner I promise you that you can fit. You can get a 1" seat lowering kit (that still allows the seat to slide) or a 2" sest lowering kit that keeps the seat in a fixed position of your choosing. It's highly worth it to enjoy the viper experience. I can even tell you of a trusted parts dealer in the Viper world that sells the kit. It is made for the viper and isn't some jankey universal mount. Come to the dark side! We have side pipes!!!!!!

[@colbyaf3238]

We have side pipes 🤣🤣 I love it

[@omega1575]

I don’t care about sidepipes but y’all have 8.4L v10’s that are American so I’m coming over

[@superspeeders]

I'm glad I sold my ACR, it's good thing you don't fit. Sexy as anything but the snap oversteer is just plain unsafe. It's like having a pet lion all fun and games until it's not.

[@technom3598]

Snap oversteer? Never experienced that in mine.

[@850t5m]

git gud...

[@Gearnauto]

That's the problem with relying on so much mechanical grip. Its there until it isn't. With the ACR you have to be going fast enough for the downforce to do its job.

[@Jackisaboss1208]

My Miata will go into snap oversteer on highway on ramps. Probably my fault

[@jonathoncunningham3939]

Nobody asked you spaghetti

[@abs2fast2furios]

[@wmoran7111]

As funny as this is, it has an air of truth. Once people find out you have money, you buy cars, and you sell them for profit; they suddenly want full book value for stuff. I have a Ducati for sale, need a sport bike!? lol

I wonder if Ed had gotten it would he have paid the half of million to get it fixed.

Google Koenigsegg México, and see the Koenigsegg that just crash last week in Mexico City, is the second Koenigsegg that crash in Mexico.

Ed is by far the best storyteller, but I have to say that Rabbit has the most crazy stories combined with the accent to make the story wonderful - to be honest I can't score one of them better than the other, both of them are the best on youtube! ❤️👍

I've always wanted a Viper "Its american, I like snakes" best quote ever??

[@AnonyMous-jf4lc]

These car stories reignited my passion for broken bastard cars. Unfortunately, the market here in northern Indiana is quite small. I was, however, lucky enough to score a 2001 Jaguar XJR last weekend. It had been sitting over a year, was covered in pine needles and sap, every warning light on the dash was on, and it wouldn’t shift. Beat the guy down to $900 and drove it an hour home unable to exceed 30mph. Had the electrical gremlins sorted out in a few hours, and it’s quite a runner. A few odds and ends are on order, but nothing major. Nothing like a supercharged jag for under a grand!

[@TRUdetailing]

Ed I absolutely love that you take your cars to AP3 and advertise for them! I know you particularly don’t care about a clean car but you gotta admit once it’s cleaned up you get that feeling like no other!! Love yours stories and videos, please never stop them! can’t wait to meet you one day!

[@jarehelt]

Ed is one of the few story tellers that really get me amped. I just relate too much to teenage Ed Bolian.

[@Vge21x]

The painted Murci looks amazing. They've been my favourite cars since I was 4, and looking at them, hearing them even now, there still isn't anything that comes close.

[@Prican777]

By far and away fhe best content that Vinwiki puts out comes from Ed and Rabbit! Keep it coming.

[@tomgunning1020]

Dang Ed, you took me for a walk down memory lane for a minute there. I’m a North Atlanta native myself, same age as you, and I remember picking up those print version auto traders as a kid from the front room of a Publix and drooling over C4 Corvettes, Foxbody Mustangs, DeTomaso Panteras, and the occasional exotic. Always had to save up allowance or lawn mowing money to get ahold of a DuPont Registry to see the true exotics, Diablos, F355’s, 993 and 996 Turbo’s, etc. Ah, those were the days man.

[@RoflOnMyWaffle.]

That Verde Draco isn stunningly classy. Very well done Ed. I'm only 6ft 1 but found my Lotus Exige 350 Sport the most comfortable daily I've had so far!

[@jakesmith2311]

[@matthewbrown2037]

I've always loved the Murcialago. Its not just one of my favourite Lamborghinis, its one of my all time favourite automobiles full stop. But Ed's LP640 in that colour is on another level. I think it suits the car so well, and just looks fantastic.

[@charlieryan1736]

Thanks for another great story Ed. Don’t give up on the Viper just yet they make a seat lowering kit that I think adds 2 or three inches of headroom

[@psytylerx2115]

Get the viper put like a kirkey racing seat and lower it then keep the viper seat for if you sell it

[@jmhofmeyr]

I share ur feeling for buying cars who had a hard life and fixing them....just get a buzz from the process and seeing the transformation

[@sunnydylan9209]

I tried buying the Ferrari challenge car too. He told me a COMPLETLEY different story! Something like it was his dead fathers car. The guy was full of it and told me it was 1000HP , he seemed to not know anything about cars. And he too went up on the price , knowing the car had no title.

[@TopGunAce23]

Ed, another great story...I enjoy the passion he puts into the storytelling!!

[@spike.strat1318]

It’s amazing what one can purchase when you have cash in hand and a motivated seller. Ed has made that a science, sure you get lots of no’s but the occasional yes is where the gold is.

[@jonnda]

I hope that Koenigsegg finds an owner willing and able to fix it.

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Travaish

[@jonnda]

Jeremy hanna Lol. If they aren’t buying the flood/crash Veyron, they probably aren’t buying the Koenigsegg.

[@samuelkhoo2961]

jonnda tbh koenigsegg is easier to finish than that Bugatti

[@jonnda]

Samuel Khoo Physically easier, yes. Financially easier... $500,000-$600,000 is still very difficult for most people, and that’s likely an estimate that can’t be avoided. The engine (and maybe the transmission) are structural components of that car, so removing them might be a bit of a chore. I was guessing that if the Veyron project were to be taken on and the engine was fine, it might only cost $250,000-$300,000 to source any used parts they can to finish it, along with tires, wheels, etc. Anyways, that’s just my opinion. Right or wrong, I don’t know for sure. What I am sure of is that I would rather own the Koenigsegg.

[@TheDKing38]

Koenigsegg or Bugatti? I'd have to go for a Koenigsegg.

[@clb9935]

Unreachable or... Unreachable? I dont know what to pick!

[@hurricaneheli79]

Yeah same here. Koenigsegg way better.

[@emperorkarma72]

No put them beside each other and the bugatti with win in luxury hands down , the koenigsegg is faster but thts it

[@yeoldcrusader2184]

Personally Koenigsegg but Bugatti's are still cool.

[@galil_6863]

Bugatti is better

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

Glad to hear this. Makes me sort of ok with my daily cruse of CL looking at cars. I find one every couple weeks that's both interesting and close enough to go take a look.

[@forarthur777]

The italian job (2003) made me obsessed with the mini cooper. I was a teenager at the time and my parents owned a car dealership. I would talk about how cool the car was to my dad and he never had the heart to tell me that it was geometrically unlikely I'd enjoy those cars if I ever got to drive one. I'm 6'4" and have been since I was a teenage, luckily I had lost interest in the mini cooper before I realized I wouldn't fit.
