ED Bolian is the Mark Twain of the 21st century. What a wonderful story teller. His mind pictures always bring you into the moment, as though you were actually right there, watching it unfold.

"i had a wonderful nap" Savage

All I can think about after he talks about being stopped by the police is the scene from the blues brothers where Elwood gets pulled over and they run his licence and it shows that he has a suspended licence and 56 moving violations.

Want a TopGear style show to work in America??? Hire Ed as the American Clarkson... and the rest will fall into place.

I think I've watched this three times. I totally love these stories, it's such a childhood fantasy of mine to do a Cannonball. I recall going to the movies when I was 12 or 13 to watch The Cannonball Run with Burt Reynolds and co. I live in Canberra, Australia, so the idea of doing an actual Cannonball is a complication fraught with difficulties. I'm so glad there's a bunch of maniacs who keep this dream alive for the rest of us who don't have the resources or balls to actually do it. You guys are inspiring.

It's cool to see that guys who drive high end cars daily still fuck with the old stuff. Even if it is just for a goof

Great event and an honor to run with you Ed!

This story was awesome! I love the cross country stories and loved the way both of you told the story!

I love the fact that the muffler shop (2:03) you guys went to is right around the corner from my house LOL

LS motor only did 125.. heck even the stock 440 police motor could run 135 mph! but they did run hot

Best video yet! I like the back and forth, sticking to the same details in the timeline. Do more like this!

This is an epic story here, "arrive and drive" lol, love it

The Blues are indeed strong with you!

One more thing. Not really a question more of a PLEASE PLEASE run it again in the Blues MObile!!!

"And channeling his own inner Jermey Clarkson" I'm dead

Lmao...!!! Best video in a while... Ed and arne telling stories in the SAME video...!?? Doesn't get much better then this folks...!!!

We have a half a pack of cigarettes it's night time and we're wearing sunglasses ....Ed

Great Stories. Trips like this you never forget.

I love this idea! VINwiki your app and KZread are amazing! Much love for both!

Not going to lie, Ed’s sense of humor and way of telling the stories, he’d have fit right in in the blues brothers movie

The best car to do it in! I wish I could have been in the Bluesmobile too

I could listen to ed telling storys all day @@

I owned a 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco Interceptor; 440 4barrel; it would do 150+. great car!

Love the dual personalities of this video.

More of Alex and ed! This channels blowin up!

/me tries to imagine Ed trying to keep Arne awake, his dulcet tones and smooth delivery would calm down a meth addled tweaker on PCP.

"I had a junkyard LS" *eye begins to twitch* The doors being wrong also bothers the hell out of me. The Bluesmobile didn't have vent windows

Ed is the best story teller

"Miserable fog, we could barely maintain 100mph"

"Channeleing his inner Jeremy Clarkson" lmao

I like Ed for his amazing voice and great story telling, but I really did like the partner story telling gig that’s going on, really great quality.

Laughed quite a bit at 4:26 , Ed still seems disappointed at that incident

Getting stopped in the wrong state sucks. My last speeding ticket for 90 in a 55 was written up at that speed with a $361 fine and 6 points off my licence( wisconsin gives you 12 points in a one year period ). After going to court without a lawyer it is now my most expensive parking ticket. They changed it to a $500 parking ticket and 0 points because it was then a non moving violation.

This reminded me of those Drake & Josh intros 😂

Awesome! You guys create automotive envy.

Wow antique cars are sure different than they were in my day, 32 Fords, 40 Fords, 49 Mercury's. I had been driving five years when your car came off of the assembly line!

The fact that you guys won after all that went wrong proves that it truly was a mission from God.

how are stories like these not confessions where they can just write a ticket based on your own statement of the situation?

I think I speak for everyone when I say... MORE ED, PLEASE!

Ed should do a fan cannonball run ....

This dude is just like Beavis and Butthead cartoon character

"and I just lay into the throttle..."Yes!

As a PA resident I would like to say our police absolutely suck when it comes to 'spirited' drives. If you need people to run interference on your next trip we're here for you.

Man, the blues mobile is my dream car, too bad they're super rare and expensive here in Sweden :'(

awesome story

Very interesting for us Walter Mitty types. I totally get the trying to stay awake part, having driven a 2600 mile trip in my misspent youth. Not at 100mph, however, in my 1964 VW bus. LOL
