From the VINwiki chair, to the driveway, to the garage, and now finally the living room in front of the fireplace. This is the true measurement of wealth.

[@CarWizard]

Very great advice. Many of which I follow as well. Especially #2, and #1. Very proud of Ed’s achievments. Upwards and Onwards!

[@davidhemmings5676]

When people celebrate your success it shows a true friend. Good work CarWizard.

The Ed Bolian Fireside Chat before GTA 6 😂

[@buck9custom]

I love how Ed has become more outspoken about his faith. I never really picked up on that before the unfortunate passing of Rob "Rabbit" Pitts. I know something like that can be pollarizing these days and you run the risk of alienating a large segment of your viewers. So it takes bravery to do that, and a lot of what he said in this video boils down to bravery.

[@DiscGolfDom23]

This is fantastic advice, Ed, because it's SCALEABLE. My net worth and your net worth are indescribably different, but we acquire our cars the same way and most of the advice you graciously shared can be applied no matter the cost or value. My latest acquisition is a 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP Coupe with a 6 speed manual transmission. Supposedly 1 of only 200 coupes to have a manual transmission. Not quite like having a gated manual Murcielago but still rare and fun. 240 HP, 2 doors, and 3 pedals is enough car for anyone. I bought it salvaged and repaired it with a different salvaged G6 sedan. I'll be in a 1 of 200 car for under $1000 in total investment. I bought an extremely rare car that NOBODY else knows or cares about from a location with a limited audience. But it sure is cool to me, and it was the ONLY way for me to justify owning a fun car in my financial situation. It also feels nice knowing that it would have probably been crushed had I not saved it.

Rule 11 is obviously to drink VinWhiskey, the official whiskey of VINWiki! See... I was paying attention!

[@supercarlover848]

I cant explain how much your channel inspired me to get into exotic cars. You put it into a way that made it seem possible and sensible.

[@autohound7099]

Rule #1: figure out audio levels.

I actually laughed out loud at that one

[@PruneJuice100]

#1 being #1 is the single most based thing Ed has ever said. Christ is King

[@Lburt07]

Sleep and unhealthy food fixed all!

[@Danieledward-x8c]

you should do car show in alpharetta

[@mamigagi]

I live by very similar rules! Thanks for sharing, Ed.

Always go into important meetings with a clear mind and body

[@maxregal8889]

Complete agnostic here. And yet I’d happily listen to Ed chat about his relationship with God and the Jesus all day.

[@Jay-wk9xj]

Yeah, I came for car content and he can save all the God talk since it's all a personal thing.And should not be mixed in with his business.It's really inappropriate.

[@rousemotorsport]

Great to hear you talk about God openly. With him in the first position, that has also helped me put everything else in perspective.

[@tacot1m]

This feels like a summary of my intro to finance and intro to marketing class

[@bertinibb]

Happy to know you’re a fellow believer. Advice number 6 was very good. Having a generous heart pays off. God bless you Ed!

[@michaelreed8540]

I love the fireside chat. Ed has become the elder statesman of exotic car ownership.

[@ShiftingSplits]

As much as I love the stories. I play either Ed, Rabbit, Christopher or John when I'm having a bad day.. These types of videos are so appreciated.. My life has changed so much taking advice from men like this.. I have been slowly changing my mindset. And in turn changing my life..

[@died4us590]

Rabbit really showed that anyone can be found worthy at the last hour of the day, but gaining eternity. I found Ed standing by a friend until the end, a true Christian. My uncle accepted Christ the day he died, and you could feel it around you. He was an atheist his whole life, but asked for the family Bible i now have, was baptised, and died in peace. My cousin watched her dad fearing death, but he would not repent, nor accept Christ as his saviour, he did not die peacefully, even though he had time. I nearly died from an accident where i cut a major artery, and even the ambulance getting to me was a miracle. I felt my body shutting down, so i prayed and asked for forgiveness of my sins, already believing, but not living it. The ambulance radioed in that he didn't think this one was gonna make it. I was fortunate a vascular surgeon had just finished surgery to take me in. I was given four litres of blood through dialysis, and they cut out a vein to repair the artery. They were astounded that my kidneys came back to full function with no other issue's. I was blessed to change and live my life right. I ask for wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, which though not worthy i have seen. Revelation Now, that was a guy i was led to with thing's that will blow your mind on his link in his video's to the web library. I can not out right say the channel because it's censored, ask yourself why. G-d bless.

[@CampbellSimpson]

#2 is my all-time. Do what you say you will. If you talk a big game, back it up! Stay humble when you need to. But talk yourself up and you can succeed because of it.

[@nowronganswer]

Really a great list! Always encouraging to hear established professionals put God first. Thanks Ed

[@wrx.mp4]

I'm really glad you made this video, Ed. Most of us know you for the entertaining car stories and tales told on VikWiki. But as a "younger" guy in a world full of a lot of noise, these points are undoubtedly some of the best I've heard.

[@lcloutier1000]

I personally prefer to think of my interactions with the world in terms of good morals rather than religious dogma, but I do admire your way of approaching business. Honestly, I'm not certain these rules can truly work without this great personality trait of yours, which I've seen in most very successful people I know, and that I try to foster myself. It's not easy to explain clearly, but once you've seen it enough, it's obvious... You approach business dealings the same way you approach a newcomer to your Church: with openness and honesty in hope they reciprocate. Then set boundaries and wait for them to accept or work towards moving them. Every CEO I've sat across from did the same thing. (Not social media-type CEOs, actual $500M+ business leaders)

[@thegentlemansgarage_]

Ed, couldn’t agree more. So well said. All points are nail on the head and well weighted. But your number one, is above all number one! ❤

[@ericroxby9335]

I'm still saving for my "slightly" used Bentley. I will have one some day. Thanks for inspiring us all Ed!!!!

[@Viperacrx600]

Honestly, my biggest issue is finding a career where I can make any decent kind of money. I have no idea how to go up from where I am (basically the bottom, I’ve never made more than $23 an hour). I am driven enough to do anything I need to make money, but I don’t even know how to get my foot in the door at a place that pays good money.

[@kylew7930]

So much wisdom! Thanks Ed. God bless you

[@Blu.86-te1pr]

Hey Ed. Just wanted to say I think you’re awesome. You’re a big inspiration to me and my car obsession and I value your advice. I appreciate you making videos like these.

[@JoshJones-37334]

Is it hard to see the screen with a big d in your mouth?

[@VladislavGoranov]

Amazing video! I support every word in it! Several months ago I ended my very successful IT career in order to do something more. I had enough to make my project cars, live without any worries about how I spent, etc. But now I want to do something better! I want to change the world for good and I am sure God will back me up if I am hustling enough to do it. Over the past couple of years I was working in the background on a project where we can cheaply obtain Hydrogen while cleaning the environment + producing fully carbon - neutral fuels like petrol, diesel, methanol, ammonia. I want to save our passion for the cars we love by beating these illogical green deals in their own game while preserving our planet. You can find my organisation, it's called Bright Hydro Future.

[@SlimWhittman]

Glad Ed is still around putting out great content. Haters are going to hate not matter what you say, but being open and honest is the best you can do, and you've done that.

[@obi-wankenobi7160]

Amen Ed, thanks for speaking the truth in a time that people are politically persecuted for doing so

Literally. No one is politically persecuted for doing so but keep making shit up

@ for speaking the truth? Where have you been the past 15 years?

[@joaquimmateus8158]

Thank you for your insight about life! Great video.

[@JerryDLTN]

Don't do things that would increase your chances of getting arrested (no DUIs, no drugs, crimes, etc) Don't do things that would decrease your chances of future financial success (wasting money, etc). At 18 y/o, get a 2nd-to-die life insurance policy on grandparents and work to pay that >$200 premium every month. At 18 y/o, put >$500/month into the S&P500 ($SPY) every month. At 18 y/o, save >$875/month for >20% down payment on first house.

I've heard your saying before that wealth is the numbers of dollars you don't care about, and the story about the rich guy you know who was able to spend thousands on I believe a home repair and it not change his day. This has stuck with me and something I have thought about! I frame it in how much I could spend every day and it not make a noticeable affect on my finances in a yearly review. Interested to hear what your number is, although I know quite personal.

I have a great family and faith in God. I would add just one more thing here Family First. My Corvette came later due to family needs first. I still had cars to push with but my goal car came later but it was worth the wait. Scott

[@costafilh0]

Tithing? Nah! Charity? Nah! Allocating 10% of your profits to actually solve other people's root problems and truly change their lives? YES! It's better to teach someone how to fish and solve the problem, than to have to feed them a fish every day and keep them in the same situation. Of course there are exceptions and nuances, but it's a good start.

[@paulbenoit6913]

Tithing and charity are often used to do exactly what you have described about true change. I don't give to charities that don't have that as their goal. We should certainly not give to organizations that don't have goals that encompass that belief.
