Ed to himself driving home: “Was it worth it? Let me work it. I’ll put this thing down, flip it, and make a nice profit through shrewd negotiation.”

Ed, you should try to get Missy Elliott to come on the channel and talk about some of her cars. She's had cool and unique vehicles for the last 15 years, and you know there's got to be some good stories.

[MrJrv]

It’s always interesting to hear stories, specifically Ed’s, about celebrities who are really into cars, and not just as status symbols. Never would have thought Missy Elliot was a car person with such an interesting collection. Or that Stallone would be looking specifically for a great condition Spyker.

Ed buys a car with a clean title and history... Alright we're out lol.

The shift lever in a Spyker is actual art.

When Spyker bought Saab the now deceased owner of Just Saab in Cincinnati bought a Spyker C8. It wasn't just a car, it was a work of art. The interior was so beautiful.

As a Dutchmen I love Spyker and it breaks my hart that this beautiful brand did not make it, there is a company now Spyker Enthousiast which have rebuild Spyker coceptcars into road worthy cars and other grazy stuff like that.

I think every car john looks at is his favorite, or the nicest example, or most significant one he has seen but I do enjoy his content.

[Boba_Brett]

I've always thought of the Spyker C8 as a "poor man's" Pagani. The level of attention to detail in both are phenomenal, and both are works of art

What I would give to see Ed cruisin' in his Lambo blasting "Work It" by Missy Elliot

In 2007 there was even a Spyker F1 racing team. They used Ferrari engines in it. Later this team changed owners again to become Force India which then became Racing Piont.

[MrCarGuy]

Oh man, these cars have always had a special place in my mind. There was a blue C8 which drove around Boston and that's the last one I've seen.

Ed is going dutch 😄 🇳🇱 welkom 👋🏻

If you ever in The Netherlands you should visit the louman museum. It’s a car museum about the history of the car. And they have a few original spykers on display.

I always saw Spyker as a Pagani Zonda for a budget. It, s a beautiful piece of art

Missy makes VA proud everywhere she pops up 💜

love the shirt RIP Ray Liotta. "What Did I Tell You Before? No Giant Sharks!"- TOMMY VERCETTI

[rickstorm]

It's a one of a kind steampunk automobile! All of that style and 190 mph, yeah, it must be an unique experience to cruise anywhere with that because you probably won't see another along the way. Get ready for people taking pictures of it every time you park it somewhere! I will when I see one!

[original__gmebvy]

Missy Elliott always spoke about this car and how she thought it was so beautiful looking that she rarely if ever drove the thing. She ended up selling it eventually but yeah it was one of those cars she bought mainly just to look at

[patrikpolda]

I think that if Silvester Stalone doesn't buy it than keep it. You wanted that car and you can have a great story. If he buys it you can say that you sold a car to Silvester Stalone. If he doesn't buy it you can say you almost sold a car to him.

Missy Elliot has always killed the car game Ed facts
