Georgia YouTuber gets roasted by James May
Ed Bolian is the Georgia man who owns this Bugatti Veyron.
He is most well-known for presenting the VINwiki YouTube channel.
Bolian’s channel is, as you might imagine, dedicated to all things cars.
It is especially pointed towards the storytelling behind certain iconic vehicles.
But Bolian’s latest video is something very different.
Because this time, someone else was critiquing his car.
And the judge in question was none other than James May.
What was surprising from the beginning was how positive Bolian was.
The Georgia man was delighted just to be deemed ‘worthy’ of having his car roasted by James May.
As a result, he was actually quite excited to hear what the iconic presenter had to say.

Legendary presenter does not hold back on Bugatti Veyron
“So let’s hear what he has to say about my Veyron,” Bolian said excitedly.
“It’s an entry-level example, haha,” May remarked in his famously dry humor.
“It’s red, which is a terrible color for it,” was the next observation.
One key thing pointed out by the presenter was the cost of maintenance on an annual basis.
“It’s currently costing him around $30,000-40,000 in servicing every year.”
That is certainly a hefty garage bill to receive every 12 months or so.
Another thing that James May couldn’t wrap his head around was the price Bolian paid for it.
“$1,450,000 – for that? Look at the gob on it.”
“No, that’s hideous,” May said in conclusion.
After taking in the savage roast, Bolian was surprisingly positive.
The Georgia YouTuber acknowledged that his car is definitely ‘polarizing.’
“I really do love it,” he said.
And Bolian loving his Bugatti Veyron is the most important thing.
