subscribers! What a way to end the year. Thank you to all the storytellers and all the viewers. It has been an amazing journey and words truly cannot express my gratitude toward you all.
If you are looking for a perfectly reliable, well-maintained, trouble-free Lamborghini at a staggeringly low price from a motivated seller; look no further:
PSA: I am hearing from multiple sources that a huge percentage of Lamborghini Urus & Huracan odometers are being rolled back with easy to install & use software. Factory computers can detect it so be sure to have any car you are looking at inspected.
1 Billion! Wow. Thank you to our storytellers, sponsors, team, and most of all our VIEWERS. You are all incredible and this has been an amazing journey.
As we continue to remember & celebrate Rob Pitts, today will be the first weekday in 7 years where VINwiki is not releasing a new video. We'd love for you to enjoy some of Rob's amazing content. Here are his Top 10 stories on VINwiki:
Today I learned that for current college students, using material that you wrote for a previous paper is called self-plagiarism and can result in you being kicked out of school. What nonsense.
The selling prices of the Porsches at the
@rmsothebys
White Collection Auction were beyond insane.
911R (991) - $1.1M
993 GT2 - $2.4M
996 GT2 - $400k
997 GT2 - $417k
991 GT2 RS - $1M
918 - $3.9M
...
The cars were all top-tier but each of these is double the retail market.
Lamborghini built 14,022 Gallardos and 11,465 Aventadors. Given the number that will have been totaled, is it safe to say that Gallardos are more rare?
@JeremyClarkson
we have a growing car storytelling channel at

in Atlanta. If you ever come through promoting

please stop by. Today's story from
@HooviesGarage
features your impact on his career. Mind helping us spread the word?
We just released the 1st episode of our 6th Car Trek series. The challenge was a 3 car dream garage for less than $30k total with a sports car, a luxury sedan, and an off-roader. Here we go!
There was an interesting twist recently with the El Chapo McLaren F1. I will try to put an update video together this week. Here is where my hunt for the car began:
January was a record month for
@VINwiki
growth. We got over 15k new users in the app and over 40k new YouTube subscribers with a new record for monthly views. Thanks for the support!
I bought the cheapest
@Lamborghini
Gallardo in the world to compete with
@theRealTavarish
and
@HooviesGarage
in a series we called
#CarTrek
. The series will premiere on Tavarish's channel next week but here is my explanation of the car I chose:
The most popular feature in the
@vinwiki
app is the ability to build lists of cars. Yesterday we passed 4 billion connections between cars via the lists feature. Super cool!
Quick PSA: there are a crazy number of car scams going around right now using COVID as an excuse for “almost too good to be true” pricing. Buy cars in person or from dealers big and old enough you don’t have to check them out.
Car Trek 5 was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It sums up my career with respect to the automobile & I couldn't be any more proud of the team that made it possible. Thank you to everyone who has supported the journeys o far. Episode 1 of 5.
Yesterday was the last day that my story of finding 2 stolen Lambos was the most-viewed VINwiki story. The story from
@SeenThruGlass
about how amazing it is for a regular guy to drive an F1 car is now in the top spot!
I have been on a quest to buy the worst 355 F1 that is at least semi functional. I found the perfect one a few weeks ago but unfortunately I got outbid by someone who has no idea what they are in for.
Sometimes when you try to talk a woman out of buying Hot Wheels tracks late at night at a Target so you can buy them all to make a video, 2 years later her kid is on your son's baseball team and you have some explaining to do:
I am cleaning out the garage and selling some of our leftover vandalized speed limit signs with 100% of the sales going to charity. Throw some bids in:
In the 90s, Donald Trump borrowed some new cars from Lamborghini and proceeded to tell them that he was too famous to have to return them. Somehow that seems to have worked for him.
Congratulations to
@vinwiki
app user catharsis (IG flat.tired) on winning our million subscriber Porsche 993 giveaway. You can meet him and see the car at
@cocarshow
tomorrow and then he is road tripping it home…
The
@vinwiki
channel just hit 1.1 million subscribers! It has been a year or so since I did an AMA on the channel so I thought that would be fun. What would you like to know?
Metro Atlanta is supposed to get 2 inches of snow tomorrow which usually means mayhem ensues and the city shuts down for a week. Here's what happened in 2014:
I met
@airrack
7 months ago when he was trolling Tesla with a fake Cybertruck. Since then his YouTube channel has grown from 200 subscribers to 500k! He came by to share another car story that helped with the growth.
