Yeah I was watching the video thinking, “I get why this guy is an awesome high-end car salesman. If I was a super-rich guy looking to buy a bananas exotic car his stories and knowledge would make it a must-do at least once.” BTW Ed, you’re welcome to send me a kudos check if my comment makes you a bunch of extra money 😏

The only people who disliked this video are the cops that Ed snuck by on his Cannonball run.

I respect his record and would love to give it a try one day, but I can see why people don't like the video. The supporters who like the video make compliments about how good the interview is, or how well Ed answers questions, but they are missing something: its canned. Of course Ed can tell this story well, not only did he live it, he wrote a book about it, which he is promoting. Making a speech after writing a book is easy - the work is done. He probably even emailed vortex some approved questions ahead of the interview. It's obvious he's been outmarketing it. Ed is speaking from a decorated automotive "studio" that is properly lit and and staged, so he looks professional from the start (while the Vortex guy looks like he is using his phone's camera in a cubicle). He's tired of the way all of the geek "journalists" go rambling on in these interviews, but his smug smile says that the mountain of coke in the other room is feeling really good right now and he can just keep smiling and talking on autopilot.

Ed's a good guy. I was on MB forums with him. He planned well, picked a great car and stuck to his drive!! Well spoken, professional and just a nice guy. CL55 AMG was also a perfect weapon of choice for this run. Great video A, so happy you did this one! I think the wheels behind him to his left shoulder are from the record setting CL55.

Definitely enjoyed this interview. I've noticed Ed getting a lot more exposure lately online and his VinWiki channel has probably tripled in subscribers in the last month. Lots of great car stories on that channel.

Great piece of journalism!

Heyy Vortex !Hope you well :) Great vid and thanks for making it happen something diffrent.. Love from New Zealand

Fantastic interview VTX, really great info in this interview. Thanks to both you guys for doing this.

Enjoyed the interview and saved some kindle books to check out related to Ed and the Yates book mentioned.

Wait, so is the jack to Ed's left the same one in the trunk of the CL55? Nice. Great attention to detail.

What's in the last chapter of the book he mentioned?

Those pit stains in the beginning lol

Hahaha he said we have to reconcile that in our own way 😂😂 he doesn't give a single shit

They must have had a boat load of spotters waiting up ahead.

I have to say the Pan American one is definitely interesting. I used to live in Gatun Panama and we managed to make the drive from there to Seattle in 13 days. I have made that trip quite a few times in both directions. In a 32 foot Pace Arrow RV once and once in a 70s Monte Carlo and once in a 1971 Land Rover that I still own although it took much longer in the Land Rover. Currently in needs a frame the Panamanian climate was not kind and Seattle wasn't either.

Ed if you ever need a codriver I will gladly fly to new york for the start!

Ohio has the traffic flow sensors. That's what I encountered in my cross country run. Very annoying and tricky to deal with. Great vid.

I once made it from Kissimmee, Florida to my driveway in Toledo, Ohio in exactly 15 hours for an average speed of 93 mph without stopping and I stopped twice for gas... so I averaged well over 100mph the whole way and it would've been faster but I laid my foot on the floor after every fuel stop and didn't lift until I needed fuel again and my little V6 S-10 wouldn't go any faster😀

Clever V1 advert.

I wish they would run the cannonball through Virginia. Tickets for anything from a radar detector to possible jail time for 80 mph or 20 over the speedlimit. It would be the perfect FU to Virginia's traffic laws when the laser jammers blank out for the troopers as you toodle on by. :)

Pretty sure he was using the Laser Interceptors and the Escort ZR4 laser jammers which came with his 9500ci he was running. But hey its not my car I am just going off the pictures I have seen of his car

Still don't understand why Trapster was killed off, it was really effective and ran in the background multitasked with navigation on my iPad. At least there's Escort Live for legacy speed trap awareness. Glad I stumbled upon this little gem of a VR video.

SO I'M WONDERING IN OR AROUND 2013.. OF ALL THIS DID ED KNOW OF OR SEE THE TV SHOW OR THE MOVIES OF CANNONBALL RUN......... BEFORE OR EVEN AFTER HIS FASTER RUN..........???? ...& DID ANY ONE HONESTLY REALLY FILM IT ALL LEAVING NOTHING OUT......?? & IS IT OUT ON MOVIE OR DVD OR ANYTHING NOW BEING SEPT,. 2018........

I’m really interested on Ed’s thoughts of Alex Roy claiming because Bolian & Black didn’t video the whole thing that he’s hesitant to acknowledge the legitimacy of their run. Obviously, they’re on good terms given the Memorial run and word has it that Roy was shown some classified evidence of the time.

I bet these guys do speed

This has nothing to do with the video but just wanted to say that the new update for the Max 360 is crazy good, I did 4 hour long round trip on interstate and it didn't go off once to the cars it normally went off to. it usually alerts to the new Buick, Chevy Malibu, Acura, and New Honda CRV, I encounter almost all of this vehicles and it didn't go off once so I say it the update is extremely good.

pan-american highway looks doable, at leas the Argentina leg it's deserted in the Patagonias and pampa's region, speed cameras are in silly places from 120km/h to 60 km/h on tiny towns (and i doubt how the're able to handle foreign plates), police officers don't catch speeders (they can't because they use to accept bribes), and there's not the pursuit culture that exist in usa, Traffic's control personnel are even in replace to get more bribe, just say "no hablo español" while handling $100 dollar bills with documents in pretty much all of latin america and you're fine.

A cpl times a yr I drive SD to SAV and back to visit family. normal car 13gal tank 4cyl loaded with luggage and the ~2500miles takes ~22hrs. fastest was 16hrs and included having to replace rear tire on my bike enroute. All this fancy stuff and all I have is a radar detector and not hitting rush hrs in PHX,EP,Dal,Shr,etc.. Having made the trip since spd limit was 55/45night across TX speed limits clearly never been a factor but car only cruises along at 130ish so nothing special. Wheres my check??

In the beginning ed was regretting all of his life choices.

Can u imagine even being part of a family where you csn imagine doing this? Most of us have to 'go dark' to just drive an E class merc/ Range V6...its a world i wish I'd been a part of cos I'd certainly have tried it. If you've had to drive 'one of those journeys' for dough, cannonball punishment seems smallfry so i kinda find this outlaw bullshit annoying...

Also now days you have the false signals from Honda and Cadillac accident avoidance systems....

It woulda been better to do it in person, but we live in opposite ends of the country. He was looking at his computer on Skype and used his main camera he uses for his main channel for the recording and sent me that video afterwards which I edited with my own camera's recording and spliced the two together. I get that it looks a little weird.. not to mention his setup looks way better than mine. :D Thank you for the comment!
