[@EdBolian]

It was an amazing event and a huge honor to be a part of it. Thank you to everyone who was involved.

[@mach_chickengaming4078]

Love u man true inspiration

[@idontlikecops1]

Shut up ed. Damn you

[@gonzoprius3589]

It was an awesome time! Loved watching the look on the faces of those lucky enough to sit in the Gurney/Yates Ferrari. Could almost see their “O” face. Looking forward to the next get together.

[@chrisclemens2731]

It was great to have you!

[@adamsdrives]

It was great seeing pics from the event. Would love to hear some stories from other Cannonballers too. Each run has its own unique origin and challenges.

[@christophermichaels]

This was a great road trip and even better event that I am so proud to be a part of. There were too many great moments to share and I am so grateful to you, Ed for bringing me onto this channel years ago and making it possible for me to be a part of this incredible group of people.

[@chrisclemens2731]

This was our love letter to cannonball. I'm delighted that so many enjoyed the event in the spirit it was intended. Fellowship.

[@bryanhumphries1972]

Ed, I'm glad you got Beachem to go with you this past weekend. But my highlight was getting to see Harrison. Missed that crazy old guy!

[@TheCannonball79]

Thanks Bryan it was nice seeing you too. It’s been to long.

[@EDCMECH]

Awesome! Having you guys at the Great Marques Show at Old Westbury Gardens was a blast. The nicest outlaws you will ever meet!

[@jamesbambury]

This looks like it was an awesome event and it was so good to seen the silver E63 back after it encounters with a semi truck!!

[@thundermonkeygarage]

This is the genius of Ed Bolian. He has his Mercedes mechanic friend fix up some old cars. He pays the mechanic a fair but probably friends n' family rate. And he *invites* the mechanic on the road trip that immediately follows the maintenance. So the mechanic knows that he'll be stranded on the side of the road if there are any hiccups, and his ego will suffer as well. All us car guys think we're smart and good negotiators. But Ed is king.

[@jlnwhitman]

"I apologize to the polar bears and Greta Thornburg and everything like that" no he didn't 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@olikat8]

I just saw the cars last weekend. My wife, "The Mishka" finally got to meet my buddies Christopher, Ben, Chris, Chace, Brock, David (& Robin) and so on-

[@uncouver]

M112 v6 and M113 v8 are Japanese levels of dependable.

[@1puppetbike]

Is it just me or are most comments shadow banned? The counter says 17 comments, but I count less than half of that?

[@theanomalous1401]

It is not just you, dude! Which begs the question, what on earth would occur in a automotive enthusiasts KZbin channel that would warrant Shadow Banning? When I opened the comments, instead of the 37 it said was supposed to be there, only 2 were showing. One was the obligatory, " I'm first, please notice me. The other was someone throwing shade on Ed, because he finds the one thing Ed is passionate about and was the driving force behind the creation of the VinWiki Car Stories channel, "annoying'. I'm all about freedom of speech (God bless America 🇺🇲) I bet this dude is the kind that when his old lady asks him if the dress makes her look fat, he comes back with OMG, Hell YEAH❗

[@brettbilger1390]

These cars will live forever!

[@russellbyrne7021]

This sounds like a Car Trek premise

[@clintgliford9941]

So glad they are back on the road

[@bellluna9017]

Doug: My cannonball car is best cannonball car because..

[@JR-ho5qm]

Lock that patina down with a high quality matte clear coat. It should look great! I recommend the Standox brand.

[@porsche928s4]

Love those old AMGs w220 is the best looking s class

[@95redz]

What do you call a cannonball reunion? Organized crime! 😂

[@thebrassmonkey100]

Ed, may i ask "hOw dArE YoU?!"

[@Southpaw-qc9gh]

The irony of driving at an average speed above 100mph on public roads for a memorial drive.

[@guskipper1194]

Seems like a very cool community

[@johnnyt2832]

I’ve seen 50% of Bruce McCaw’s collection at VRM. That man has a vintage Bentley fetish I swear.

[@hamsterox9216]

I am both grateful and disappointed that the early 2000s Mercedes era gets such a bad rep because it keeps them cheap to buy for what you're getting but it's so undeserved.

[@Cartier_specialist]

If you did that whole story without a teleprompter I'm impressed.

[@JeffHendricks]

Until I can finally do a run, I will live vicariously through Ed's Cannonball stories. Thank you for keeping the flame alive, Ed.

[@milesthroughtime]

Those are popular cars in the museum

[@jongib6096]

I could listen to Eds stories for hours

[@markk3453]

older German amg cars were great. cant say the same about the new amg's (post 2015+)

[@dowshore8225]

Just a suggestion on preserving the patina on your car. Could you possibly wrap it in a clear wrap to make it stay like it is.

[@anthonymanz9355]

You know that was cool video, inspiring. Cars are cool

[@Rustbeltrescue]

My fiero has been sitting for 10 years and I'm daily driving it at 270k miles 🥶

[@VINwiki]

What do you think would make the best Cannonball car?

[@user-427.commodore]

Crown vic, stock on the out side, worked on the inside!

[@brunopavlinusic4066]

Audi S6 3.0 V6 tdi

[@uncouver]

W210 E320 with the M112. Huge trunk, huge fuel tank, great fuel economy and highway range. Huge backseat. 150mph top speed. Super easy to disassemble and build on for countermeasures.

[@rarbona]

i think an aston martin made to look as much like a fusion as possible could work well.

[@blairwilliams136]

E63 wagon , so much room for activities and whats more under the radar then a wagon ?

[@RobsNeighbor]

Hello From Wisconsin! Love the content Thank you

[@IDv8I]

LMAO at your quick apology to Greta. Thanks for sharing bud.

[@coltonphillips1]

I thought the cannonball car was a newer Eclass ?

[@zeusfitter007]

Cornelius would be proud. 🙌🏻

[@jonathanriggs6564]

Seal the paint under a layer of film.

[@JackMediaComments]

Dumping the fuel onto the interstate technically counts as continued carbon sequestration as you did not burn it to contaminate the air. Might be able to get carbon credits.

[@gabevalenzuela9739]

You guy should get The Patina Collective on they got hell cool old Benz!!!!!!

[@rjnation5042]

Did the ambulance that Jared has been working on make it? Rj in Oz

[@craigsanislo7458]

Was Fred Ashmore invited

[@gregdesena4207]

I apologize for the polar bears and everything about that and Greta Thurnberg...Love it lolol

[@didho5907]

Always happy to hear about the Mercedes record cars

[@TripleZ89]

Any word on that Audi R8 blackbird that alex roy once encountered?

[@hotrodthug]

I was on the other side of the continent in my Cannonball car. Looks like everyone had a good time!

[@ashp5406]

It's been too long we did not have story by Christopher Michaels .....

[@mcdoe1326]

I feel bad for that old Merc 🥲

[@YazAMG]

I saw the W212 E63 AMG on the Cross Bronx over the weekend. Is there a run? 🤔

[@christopherkraft1327]

Hey Ed, thanks for sharing another great story!!! 👍👍🙂

[@dentonthomas5622]

I plan on going solo. In a 78 DatsunZ. With a Ferrari GTO body kit. Powered by a Toyota 1UZ V8. I want to do it on my time. When I am ready. How do I go about documentation of my time to be recorded?

[@CrackedCandy]

How do I find out about these things before they happen so I can attend?

[@noahkitchen5310]

I did the emissions test on the white car lol

[@RogerAlan]

Such an amazing weekend!

[@TheCannonball79]

Thanks Ed, It was a great weekend and it was fun to see everyone again.

[@blairwilliams136]

When I see the word Cannonball I click as fast as possible !

[@kr8219]

Did he really say "COVID record cars"?

[@johnjohannemann1220]

Great story and history 😊

[@richardharvey8939]

Great video

[@blue_lancer_es]

We need a new cannonball movie.

[@EDCMECH]

Its in the works!

[@thomaspavelko9412]

Clear vinyl wrap the car

[@cornpop1342]

i need more stories from ed

[@joshysbrand3567]

Where's Chris?

[@Rekuzan]

Still don't make it right, but hey, at least he apologized to the environment which is a lot more than you usually get out of people in Florida....

[@pngbear]

I miss the old content! The ones with Doug/Rabbit/ Car lawyer guy/esc. Now it’s all that annoying British guy and Cannonball stuff. That being said the Euro Asian Bob guy is a great new addition but enough with cannonball/weird British guy stories!

[@bellluna9017]

It's always been cannonball.. you're not an og.

[@jthomp997]

This channel has always been cannonball stuff. It's kinda a big part of ed and naturally most of the group he's with does cannonball too.

[@DanaOrtiz]

I agree. Go back to the og’s of vinwiki. Can’t remember the last video I watched the whole way through. But I bet it was John ficarra.

[@GPowtlaw2]

guys don't have infinite stories - gotta be open to new people and new stories you might find a new favorite. also there's been plenty of John Ficarra, and some others

[@kipdiggs1827]

This guy...

[@SynergyyTq3]

Sorry to greta ahahah

[@deadmansfire]

[@one_waycarson9389]

3rd you should try a toyota aristo for the cannonball

[@AbcdeFU66]

2nd and idk why im commenting here.

[@SparkyGage]

For patina preservation, you might try Vice Grip Garage's "shine juice" formula.

[@paulsandgren8625]

Sorry I missed St Marks this year. Had I known cannonballers were going to be there i would have gone. Like to meet you Ed and the other story tellers some day

[@bellluna9017]

What's up Ed?
