Travis, John Ficarra, and I are working on something really exciting. Hope to have some news on that soon!
HTFU !!! Jk ...but seriously come on with it !!!
Does it involve East Coast to West Coast?
(Asking for a friend)
Hey Ed, I can't wait for your news!!! 🙂
Tease
Can’t wait!!!!
Anyone that can cause an instant school road trip is every students hero.
“You have never heard a larger eruption of cheer then when the mighty “Dixie” horn played as we cut loose out of Ace Hardware.”
That made me smile and can only imagine the experience
" Poor dollar General had a CRAPPY opening day" 😆😆😆
I would've put it down on the wheels and pushed it over to their parking lot
That's everyday 😂
Nobody showed up for work because they were all hanging out in the Ace parking lot.
Dollar General = "Generally everything costs more than a dollar!"
“Somehow... I ended up on the bandit run” nice
Another great story from Travis.
When I saw "schools shut down" I figured it was another movie/tv story. Wish my schools had allowed me to skip out to see cool cars....but then I probably would have missed most days 😁
At least u have something to see in your town unlike me
Do you realize that 2 years ago, schools all around the World made a road trip to greet Greta f***ing Thunberg!?!? In the province of Québec, Canada, all the schools around Québec City gattered together even though she was publicly appearing in Montréal (3 hours drive away).
Current era sucks big time!!!
If this happened in LA, I expect it would be a lot dimmer of a reaction!🤣
LA doesn’t get it... 😂
A General Lee in LA would cause all the cry babies to start a racism rally! Only the south lives a good life, but ssshh don’t tell them Cali folk
@@caseyhubbard4350 literally nobody would care.
@@mmonkeyman1403 Yeah I’m born and raised in LA. Just on my drive to work I saw three RR’s, a Huracan, a 570s, and countless G Wagons/AMG/M cars. You can drive around in an Aventador and literally nobody will care except maybe a child or a tourist.
@@ripem1417 same shit here in Singapore, no one bats an eye
That Stussy shirt brought back more memories than the story.
Let's go!
Mcdickinass, is that Irish?
Yes
This guy's stories are epic. Good stuff. We need more of this. Thanks, Ed.
Live in Ola for years, haha! Thanks for the recognition. Still no parts store.
You'd think they'd have learned after that one lol But then again, the story just went up, who knows what'll happen next lol
No problem, sorry I moved it to another state.
It’s ola Arkansas not Alabama. About an hour away from where I grew up and yes the general Lee would definitely shut that town down. It has grown since this story happened they have a parts store now I’m pretty sure.
It could have been further south in LA since there is an Olla there too but Arkansas makes more sense. Either way Alabama is way the hell away from the course they were taking south into LA.
My mistake - there's a disclaimer (on the video, the first time I do it).... Late night.
@@travisbell4996 it’s all good. It’s so small and in the middle of nowhere just thought it was awesome to see it make a vinwiki story!
You are correct, at one point I lived just one town over. Anything out of the norm around there, would bring everyone out.
@@aanew5992 plainview or centerville
Don't appreciate that subtle diss of Herbie the Love Bug 😂
I don’t think I can accurately convey how much I loved that Dodge Charger as a kid.
Even today, I see those chargers a mile away. And I still occasionally look at them for sale.
Regards,
Marky
That's awesome. You guys made every young kids day even though you guys just happen to break down there!! Big things in a small town will bring great memories for the kids. Glad you guys had the patience to deal with the kids posing and taking pictures on and around the car. You guys are the best!!
"i shut the town for a year- er, day."
lol imagine a general lee shutting down a town for a YEAR.
The General Lee would definitely be in my garage if I won the lotto lol. That and the A-Team Van
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
Also...the FALL GUY’s truck!
Top 3: General Lee, BA’s van, and Rick Simon’s Macho Power Wagon. Runner up: Band One!
@@avega2792 I always had soft spot for Pontiac Firebird, both "Bandit", and "KITT" variants. Such damn good looking cars!
General Lee
Ecto One
ZZTop's 1933 Ford coupe.
The Munster Mobile
This warms my heart people caring about the general
Him talk8ng about canceling dollar generals opening day,while I’m getting unloaded at a dollar general distribution center is great lmao
Use to work at a dgdc, talk about a shithole company
They have a distribution center?! Sure as hell wouldn't know it trying to shop... Place is always out of random crap, usually the random crap you specifically went there to buy.
I always thought they got everything direct air-freight from the People's Republic of Shitcanistan, or someplace...
Well, thanks for TRYING to resupply the masses, man.
I got chills when the crowd cheered at the dixie horn, made those kids day, week, year!
A friend has a general clone. But, he changed the horn it plays the ole gray mule. The looks he gets when he hits the horn.
"Hot Rod Power Crawl"
LOL!
I can confirm the title. I own a 93 Merc 190e, stanced out. And it gets more attention and pics than lambos and ferraris that join meets. My dads Purvis Eureka does even better than that. Everyone freaks out when they see it. There was a Pagani Zonda, Buggatti Chiron and Koenigsegg CCX next to my dads car, everyone was interested in that instead. Good times
My Dad used to have a '93 190E.
When I read the title I knew this was gonna be a great story
Nothing beats the general lee....
Dukes started a whole generation of car guys....
Yeah, and cancer culture and political correctness is killing it.
That title is borderline clickbait cause you can’t not click on it
But was he wrong?
Wait, what’s wrong with Herbie? When I was 6 that was the coolest car in the world.
I love when this guy gets brought back!
Some time in the early 90's I was at a gas station at Truman and I-435 in Kansas City , MO . The Ghostbusters car and the Back to the Future Delorean pull in to get gas. I was like 7 years old and thought that was the coolest thing. Everytime we passed that gas station I'd always look to see if they were there again .
The greast thing you can do with an old car is make someone else's day, thanks for sharing.
"VanWacky" is my favourite play on words ever
You need to hit up the Yearone guys for some car stories!
Tears streaming down my face on this one, hysterical!
This is the lost ( real life) Magic School Bus episode that the world needed!
And THAT, right there, is why I love the hobby so much. Travis explains it quite succinctly here....
you don't need any exotic whatever rides, you just need to find the groups that are enthusiasts
for your particular bent in cars and get with them.
Car people, snob groups aside, are some of the best people - as I've found over the decades.
-Ed on the Ridge
This story brought tears to my eyes !!!! Amazing story as always. ❤❤❤
here In Estonia we shut down the Town of Haapsalu with 250 Amercian Cars, Trucks and Vans(vintage and new) despite the offical car show wasnt going to happen in 2020.
I grew up in Branson my dad was the bass player and band director for the Osmonds in the 90s.. never knew anything this cool was going on there lol
So he tells us to “look it up” but yet he doesn’t know the difference between Alabama and Arkansas
Exactly
Same thing
My bad - late night story (also, a whoops disclaimer when I said my first Alabama)....
I was glad he said Alabama instead of Arkansas
Another great story with Travis! Thank you!
I bet that feeling was Amazing. Because people from that town will tell there kids about it for generations to come. And to make it better. It looked like a place the General Lee would be.
I have a picture of me at the Iowa State fair when I was 6 sitting in the General Lee. I’m 45 now. I still love that car.
Correction, Travis hasn't drifted the General Lee.
Travis just encapsulated the power of Proper Pop Culture, Years after the Dukes ended when most of those school kids Moms and Dads were kids themselves that simple TNT Orange Charger with the battle flag roof and Roscoe's Police car brought joy and pride to a small town.
Even the Screaming chicken brigade of Trans Am's and Bandit, Snowman, Frog and Buford T Justice evoke a powerful emotion decades after the Movies end and it will no doubt continue to do so decades into the future.
Now THATS Movie and TV Gold.
I saw the general Lee and knew its was Travis Bell
I owned a 73 Peterbilt 359 with a v12 Detroit painted ravens wing black.. I delivered in a small town in Oklahoma and ended staying for their classic car cruise night and town festivals. They even paid for my motel room and kept me fed.
Cant say that I shut a town down with my General lee. I used to work at home depot and they had the tony Stewart race car there with the semi. Its actually a retired car being used for promotions. The team was getting a little upset because when I parked my car sorta close to the race car I was getting more attention then they were! Great story Travis!
So sick! One of my cousins got to see all the cars in a huge parking lot while he was passing by on the road
What a great story. Actually made me teary eyed. 👍
Wild Kudos to the school teachers who closed for the General Lee. What a treat for the kids! They will be talking about that day to their own kids one day.
I live half the world away but had I been there, you would have seen a grown man cry with tears of joy! 😄👊👊
I literally got an o Riley’s ad on this
The thing I love most about tourism business is meeting those people who would shut down the town over general lee
Travis, if you remember having the General Lee at Columbus Indiana at the Cummins fuel systems plant,, I figured you would find it interesting that they have written an employee up, for owning a General Lee tribute car and threatened to fire the employee if they ever bring the car back to work.
It always a good one when Travis Bell show up 👍
Dude looks like Myth busters:The senior years..lol travis is a gem to the car world seriously
Dona: "I love the Trans Am."
Casey: "Everybody does."
👌
I'm in school and I'm going to watch this
Didn't ever think I'd hear my hometown mentioned on Vinwiki! Joking, everyone knows Ola doesn't have internet access...
On a series note: Being from Alabama with a mother from Arkansas and knowing her family in Arkansas this mistake is very offensive. That's a whole nother special group in Arkansas. You know it's bad when people are moving to Alabama to get out. This guy's lucky I'm not from California or I'd start some kind of movement to get him cancelled while burning cars, looting stores during a peaceful protest cause he made me have a feeling. I'll just settle for furiously yelling "Roll Tide beechas, don't forget it".
This guy should import a Taxi Peugeot from the French movie. That's a really a cool movie car.
This channel has the best stories that I never heard of!
Omg, I know a kid who was at home sick that day in Ola, Arkansas.
Good stuff!
Was it you? 😂
In the USA you go to Ace Hardware in the UK you go to Ace Cafe
Man we got one down here in Florida too.... play pool over there every week lol.
Somewhere in Alabama (not Arkansas) someone is making plans to start a town called Ola with an Ace Hardware and Dollar General...just because :P
1:56 that picture 😂
Hey Travis it's David from California, do you still have your General Lee? 2003 was Awesome seeing the General fly and hearing cool stories and meeting you and the stunt crew good times and I will always cherish those moments👍
All fun and games until someone on the news says earlier today a 1977 Pontiac Firebird jumped a river
I have never wished I was in Ola Alabama as much as I do right now.
Except he was in Arkansas not Alabama.
Hell yeah brother!! That's so awesome think this is one story I lmao all most the whole time. I live in a small town know what this is like
funny, killboy JUST posted a picture of the cop car chasing a general lee down us129.
How can anyone not love a bandit trans am or a general lee charger with a rebel flash on it!
These are the Wonderful stories that VinWiki Has become known for!!
"Done everything with the car besides putting the full cast in it and jumping it into the ocean while it explodes."
Implies that either:
He's jumped the car into the ocean while it explodes.
He's put the full cast in the car and jumped it into the ocean but it failed to explode.
He's jumped the car with the full cast in it and it exploded but the ocean didn't show up that day.
This guy did a great job story telling. Who am i kidding, Seems like all these people on the channel has gotten tips from the vini wiki guy lol love it, love the stories!
Dave hall is a standout guy ! Shops just up the road from my house love having a great shop represent our state
Southern Car Culture is the best! I have wanted a General Lee ever since I was kid!
I can't share this because someone tagged it as "Offensive" .... such a great story no wonder they can't let it be shared!
Man that is such an awesome story
Was it Ola Alabama or Ola Arkansas? All the still pictures are of Arkansas......
2:29
@@McMedics thanks missed that when I watched it.
Yeah - it was late... At least the State started with an "A"
@@travisbell4996 lol. I, consequently am from Alabama but now live in Arkansas. I was also at your jump the General Lee in Covington. It was a great time!
God I love smalltown America
He can add a conversion kit for AC
I bet those kids STILL talk about it
Ola is a city in Yell County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 1,281 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Russellville Micropolitan Statistical Area.
" he's cool as cucumber man "
If it is truth Im gonna buy s daytona from him No matter My financial State
You paint such an awesome story.
This is what America stands for 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Owning that van is awesome
Ever since I watched the Dukes of Hazzard for the first time as a little kid I had always wanted to own the General Lee. It's still a dream of mine even today. Of course I live in California, but also in the Central Valley, so as long as I don't take the General to San Francisco or LA, I should be greeted with cheers and not threats and insults
I love this sooooo much!!! I just wish someone had a white Cadillac Coupe Deville convertible to complete it.
We need jdm car stories

Love that shirt "van wacky"
Man, I am crazy about vans!
My folks live in Branson MO now. Growing up, we would go down there every summer for a week or so
This is how I start my morning some VinWiki and coffee can’t go wrong
My wife and I went out to see the bandit run in Biloxi MS one time. It was amazing. Really cool group and of course we watched the movie on the green in front of the hard rock casino.
I know I’m not the only one which the mental video playing in my head of a 1969 charger ripping out of an ace hardware.
Always a great story when Travis Bell shows up!
Times have changed. Back in the day the school shut down to see the General Lee, today people are shutting down the General Lee.
This has to be the most American backwoods story I’ve ever heard
Bless y'alls hearts so much...
Someone needs to build a Dollar General lee
We need more towns like this now a days....
Even though I live in England I have owned a 2nd gen, 3rd gen, 4th gen and now have another 3rd gen, so big thumbs up from me 🙂🙂🙂
