@@ThatTURK1 I'll keep brand names out of this, but I once worked in brand image for a US based luxury brand who wanted to convert a ton of old VHS tapings of fashion shows to MP4 files. They got super upset with me when I told them that it can take a few days to accomplish and threatened to fire me if it wasn't in their hands in a few hours. I was also working with an outside company who specializes in this kind of stuff and I had to explain to them how the tech works and that firing me wouldn't help them. To top it off, after I got everything converted, they then complained on how long it took to send them everything (this only took about 10-15mins through a cloud service and email...) That's when I had to explain to them how large files moving through multiple servers and email works. I have a ton more stories trying to build software for these people, thank god for their IT teams stepping in to be the voice of reason. Like the video says, when luxury brand VPs ask for something they expect it to materialize right in front of them and threaten to fire people if it doesn't. It's amazing how far from reality they can be. Let's just say I refuse to do work for luxury brands moving forward...
I had always hoped that this... "effect" on people was a made up phenomenon for the movie industry. Now I need to know how to get paid an exorbitant amount of money to be a total dumbshit.

I work as a valet attendant in my downtown city. I can’t tell you how many people don’t even know what car they have. People just call their SUVs “trucks”, some don’t even know what brand their car is. They literally can’t tell Hyundai from Honda even if it’s their own car. Had a woman who lost her ticket keep telling me she had a “red truck” when we were looking for her car. We asked what brand she said “uhh, Ford”. We couldn’t find it for an hour. She thought we got her car stolen and flipped out. She had a red Buick Encore. I had to explain to her that her car is 1. Not a truck 2. Not a Ford She was mad at me

I like cars and all but I’m only middle class maybe upper middle class and honestly I spend as little as possible on cars. To me I just drive to work and back and why do I need to spend half my income on my means of getting to work.
I don't think this has anything to do about being a car person, rather than this has a lot to do with being a contemporary cosmopolitan who has learned to get exactly what she wants (due to her talents in making money no doubt) and has no sense of time nor history.

Just a friendly word of advice: you _don’t_ have to spend half your income on your car, but just be be sure it’s a *good* car. A Honda may not exactly be a Corvette, but it’s _way_ ahead of a Yugo. Metaphorically, and probably literally if you were to race one. P.S., if your car is a Honda, I will genuinely be surprised.
I've just experienced this for the second time ever. The first time I bought a Suzuki x90 which in Australia is one of 400 that ever made it to the country and the person I bought it off just had no love or anything for it the only thing she cared about was that it wasn't a new car and that just wouldn't do for her so it had to go. The second is that I just moved into a house and my neighbour has a 1947 dodge work rated truck and it's just sitting there rusting so I asked if he'd sell it and he just said, "no, I like the way it looks in my garden and really being that old is it good for anything else?" And I genuinely cried that night thinking about the fact that this gorgeous old truck is just sitting there rotting and even being this close to it I can't do anything about that. It genuinely hurts me to think about it
For a lot of people they don't care if the car is a refrigerator box that has a pair of cheap chairs inside. Look at the articles that condescend people for wanting to wait for EVs that have great range. "You don't NEEED that many range miles."
She probably thought she was doing you a solid by not specifying a shade of Red. I think you should have said something like " this could be red, 6 hours and $10,000 this could be red! "

I was like screaming internally, I looked at her and said "Thats a goddamn 458!" and she just said "Well, it looks like some kind of a luxurious car!" Guess why she is my ex rn

He explained it was a manual, i dont think she understood.....
If you’ve been to Highline Park in Manhattan, I am the guy who made the exposed concrete for the project and later sandblasted each piece for the exposed aggregate and “sparkly finish”. I was the guy who blasted 5/8 of a mile of concrete plus however many thousand extra pieces in for spares. One of the architects was this squat Japanese woman who looked like Yoko Ono, who had a habit of tilting her head to the side like the girl from “the Ring” when focusing. I can’t tell you how many times this woman was nitpicking over a cluster of stone. Either she didn’t like the shade of one stone next to another, or the way they were shaped... and somehow this speck on an elephant’s ass, each time the spot was the size of a silver dollar, was a problem. And the entire time her bob cut hair was draping off to the side because her head was tilted at a 70* angle
While we can realize not everyone has our same passion about cars, fashion people would be confused if you told them there are people that don't care about fashion. And if they did understand, they would look down upon those people.
I love this story. Mr. Ficarra has had 20x more adventures than I will. I was in the ad biz in the early 80s and an employee of the client was to be in the photo for an ad.

I should have told him to stay out of the session, but...anyway it all worked out somehow.

Ummmm.. so do you want me to change the color of the paint or the temperature of the lights? I’m confused. But when they don’t like the end result they think we can change it to something else in a matter of hours or days. They have no problem paying us for the change-orders but when they inadvertently believe that the world revolves around them, it can be frustrating.
Some people have more money than brains
“This can be red” *nods “yes it can” LoL 😂
"This can be red"
I mean, doesn't she know that Photoshop exists?
Sithlord2225 probably thinks they can photoshop the car irl lol
Lmfao I thought they were just going to photoshop it anyways
Honestly, probably not. She knows photographers and graphic designers exist, but she probably doesn't know or care to know how they do their jobs, just that they can do what she asks of them.
Depends what era
I want that phrase on a shirt with the black 356. I will happily buy one.
I'll replace my clothing with just that shirt
Honestly a black Porsche 356 silhouette on a Grey tee with the phrase "This could be red" in various colors except red, would be hilarious
“This can be red.” 😂
I’ll never be able to see a red car the same ever again.
Having been a tow operator for fifteen years I can't count how many times I've heard customers say "Is that what that's for? I never knew that", after I have dug the tow eyelet out of their trunk and screwed it into the bumper. And of these people own $100k+ vehicles 🤯
Cant forget the famous "do you want me to put it in neutral?"
if they own 100k cars then they have people to care about digging the tow eyelet out of their trunks. People like you for example. They simply have the privilege of not bothering to know boring things like that.
How non-car people view car people: "How can these men have some much love for inanimate transportation appliances? I mean, I'm fond of my dishwasher, but I don't wear it on a T-shirt..."
Me: but shoes are technically inanimate transportation implements, don't you think having dozens of-
Her: *NO THAT'S DIFFERENT!* 😡😤
@@theangrycheeto me: but what about the $5000 hand bag you bought last week and another one you bought last month?
Her: Well, atleast i am expressing myself.

So what you're saying is... we should Vinyl wrap the entire cars Green so it can be ANY color after editing in post! I think this is your happy medium lol!
That's...not how green screens work. Plus, with Photoshop you can already turn any color into any other color.
Haven't commented on RUclips ever in my life. But this can be red had me rotfl. I'm gonna use this like forever!!
Vinwiki would be wise to make a "this can be red" shirt that ONLY comes in black.
Lmao any color except red XD
Working in the automotive industry for 25 year so far. The best statement I have ever heard from a newly hired engineer...."If people would move closer to their jobs, we wouldn't have to design cars to get 35 miles per gallon."......1 hour later they were terminated from their big automotive engineering job.
I work as a valet attendant in my downtown city. I can’t tell you how many people don’t even know what car they have. People just call their SUVs “trucks”, some don’t even know what brand their car is. They literally can’t tell Hyundai from Honda even if it’s their own car.
Had a woman who lost her ticket keep telling me she had a “red truck” when we were looking for her car. We asked what brand she said “uhh, Ford”. We couldn’t find it for an hour. She thought we got her car stolen and flipped out.
She had a red Buick Encore.
I had to explain to her that her car is
1. Not a truck
2. Not a Ford
She was mad at me
This video made me loose any hope i had left for humanity
THIS COMMENT CAN BE READ
see what i did there?
All I see is something that could be read
That woman needs to “take a swim with some concrete shoes” in the Hudson

John is one of the best story tellers, and he always has a beverage, mad respect
Can you imagine how epic it will be when John is a grandpa? I am jealous of the unborn children.
By the time they're old enough to care hes going to be like 90. Dudes already like 60
I was considering getting a ridge wallet, but I just kept thinking "This can be red"
DirtDude117 Just buy any color, and it can be red.
Love and Emotion and Passion into this inanimate object and then when it's treated for what it is . . . says it all ! ! !

She is the type of woman who calls a McLaren a Lambo the she tries to prove herself right
No. She is even worse than most people. She has never heard of the names McLaren or Lambo.
lol no, she'd just call it a "fast looking car"
@@GloomGaiGar " a ferrari"
I doubt Ralph Lauren would just choose a car just because. He’s actually a car guy.
A new Ficarra story popping up in the feed is better than morning coffee and dump.
I think *"This can be red"* has just become a VINwiki meme.
Granted.
I have shown this to many of my non-automotive enthusiast friends and even the love of my life and they get it now.
This has also become one of my favorite VinWiki shirts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from a car guy ever since I got my first Hot Wheels car.
The "this can be red' woman sounds like some bosses I've had who thought that just by saying something it magically happened...
I’ve never laughed so hard at 7:26 am before
“This can be red”
Here before Maybelline wants this taken down or red.
John is a treasure, he knows car folk & sees the absurdity in non-car people who don't get it, great stuff!
Non-car people exist? No, that’s illegal.
RE-EDIT: I think most people probably figured it out at this point, but this is a joke that doesn’t actually have anything to do with the video _itself,_ just the _title_ of the video. Keep in mind, I never actually said anything about what happened in the story.
It's not that she isn't a car person...it's that she doesn't even know how to ask a question, and doesn't have any idea HOW the car can be red
I like cars and all but I’m only middle class maybe upper middle class and honestly I spend as little as possible on cars. To me I just drive to work and back and why do I need to spend half my income on my means of getting to work.
I don't think this has anything to do about being a car person, rather than this has a lot to do with being a contemporary cosmopolitan who has learned to get exactly what she wants (due to her talents in making money no doubt) and has no sense of time nor history. It is like looking at Sagrada Familia and asking "Why has it taken 137 years?! You can CAD and 3D print the whole thing now can't you!?"
@@domnoya4130 as long as you put some of the money into preventative maintenance completely understand, take care of your car itll take care of you. People who don't take care of their cars baffle me
Just a friendly word of advice: you _don’t_ have to spend half your income on your car, but just be be sure it’s a *good* car. A Honda may not exactly be a Corvette, but it’s _way_ ahead of a Yugo. Metaphorically, and probably literally if you were to race one.
P.S., if your car is a Honda, I will genuinely be surprised.
I literally had a woman walk up to me at a gas station once and say, "Nice car! Is that a Porsche?"
I drive a Mazda Miata.
Had someone call a de-badged SC300 a DelSol 🥴
Johns will to live:
This can be dead
John’s one of my favourite story tellers, he has so much passion for cars.
I've just experienced this for the second time ever. The first time I bought a Suzuki x90 which in Australia is one of 400 that ever made it to the country and the person I bought it off just had no love or anything for it the only thing she cared about was that it wasn't a new car and that just wouldn't do for her so it had to go. The second is that I just moved into a house and my neighbour has a 1947 dodge work rated truck and it's just sitting there rusting so I asked if he'd sell it and he just said, "no, I like the way it looks in my garden and really being that old is it good for anything else?" And I genuinely cried that night thinking about the fact that this gorgeous old truck is just sitting there rotting and even being this close to it I can't do anything about that. It genuinely hurts me to think about it
For a lot of people they don't care if the car is a refrigerator box that has a pair of cheap chairs inside. Look at the articles that condescend people for wanting to wait for EVs that have great range. "You don't NEEED that many range miles."
This might be my favorite automotive tedTalk to date
More like RedTalk
I love John Ficarra's stories. He's definitely one of the best storytellers on this channel.
I like the black colored "this can be red" lipstick. Genius.
Looks at book
“this can be read”
She probably thought she was doing you a solid by not specifying a shade of Red.
I think you should have said something like " this could be red, 6 hours and $10,000 this could be red! "
This guy is one of my favorite story tellers
100% understand. I go through this daily .
Great upload!
Happy Holidays everyone ☃️
In before specialty plate: CANBRED....on a black car of course.
This is great. Love it. My favorite Vinwiki to date.
Well done Ed!
Reminds me of a time when I was walking with my ex at night and suddenly we passed in front of a carpark and I saw a Ferrari 458. I was like screaming internally, I looked at her and said "Thats a goddamn 458!" and she just said "Well, it looks like some kind of a luxurious car!"
Guess why she is my ex rn
Bruh lol damn
Ever since I found vinwiki........ I fell in love. And the story’s are priceless! Keep em coming!
Im absolutely enamored with the new maybelline lineup, “it can be red” by Ficarra Designs
One of the best VinWiki story tellers.
His description of "non car people is spot on " My wife cannot tell a 250 GTO from sliced cheese. Nor would she care if a 250 GTO looked like sliced cheese...it's just a machine to take her places and as long as it does that has air cond, and plays music she's happy. I show her a picture of of an E type and say "isn't it beautiful?" she says "I guess so..it looks like a car"
Why did I Marry her?
Good Question.
Sounds like you need a garage separate from the house lol
Get a divorce. I recommend you marry someone who loves cars, no matter the gender.
@@thejay8963 No way... if you mary a woman like mine you get to drive everywhere, you get to make all the car related purchases on your own... I much prefer "whatever parts you think the car needs" to "Don't spend too much on the brake parts I need to get some rims for my car"
Skidooboy
Haha, okay.
John speaks the truth... I live in Princeton, NJ and worked in Manhattan, NY for a while. I run into these kind of people on a daily basis.
In today's episode: Ficarra try to comunicate with aliens!
I’ll grab the popcorn
Black lipstick named "this can be red". Absolutely brilliant marketing idea. I'm serious, no ones ever gonna forget that!
This is now my new favorite story on vinwiki, only because of this could be red.... but also got me thinking, sell a black vinwiki shirt with the slogan This could be red!
I'd definitely get one for sure!
I work at a napa auto parts store, so I have come to despise non-car people. non car people have no clue about important things like what kind of engine the car they want an oil filter for has. or what year the car they want windshield wipers for. was made... volvo drivers are the absolute worst!! how can you pay so much for a car and know nothing about it??!

Good morning, ed! God bless
*Looking at Monet's water lilies at MOMA* : "This can be red."
*Me, an artist and art history nerd* : "And you can go try to swim with concrete shoes in the Hudson, but respectively, I don't think either of us wants what the other is considering."
Hilarious story 😂 and I (as a German) appreciate your way to speak a lot! Very understandable 👏 thank you! 🙏
Reminds me of a reddit post ive seen floating around, Uber picks up a girl, they are driving for a bit in silence before the girl says "can you stop touching that thing, its making me uncomfortable"
She was talking about the shift stick.....
He explained it was a manual, i dont think she understood.....
Today is another 2 video day. Be sure to check out Omar's tale of discovering his McLaren was faster than a police plane.
How are u doing ed?
Great vid!
I seent it
His McLaren? Is it red? Because it can be red.
Omar? Nah... not that guy.
If you’ve been to Highline Park in Manhattan, I am the guy who made the exposed concrete for the project and later sandblasted each piece for the exposed aggregate and “sparkly finish”. I was the guy who blasted 5/8 of a mile of concrete plus however many thousand extra pieces in for spares.
One of the architects was this squat Japanese woman who looked like Yoko Ono, who had a habit of tilting her head to the side like the girl from “the Ring” when focusing. I can’t tell you how many times this woman was nitpicking over a cluster of stone. Either she didn’t like the shade of one stone next to another, or the way they were shaped... and somehow this speck on an elephant’s ass, each time the spot was the size of a silver dollar, was a problem. And the entire time her bob cut hair was draping off to the side because her head was tilted at a 70* angle
Someone only saying "This can be red" sounds like a star trek episode
While we can realize not everyone has our same passion about cars, fashion people would be confused if you told them there are people that don't care about fashion. And if they did understand, they would look down upon those people.
This John guy is a gem. He’s a car guy.
I love this story. Mr. Ficarra has had 20x more adventures than I will. I was in the ad biz in the early 80s and an employee of the client was to be in the photo for an ad. He gave me a hard time about signing the model release for a $1 payment, which was standard in this kind of situation. I should have told him to stay out of the session, but...anyway it all worked out somehow.
This guy has the best stories
Why not vinyl wrap it for the shoot? AFAIK, it doesn't damage the paint underneath and can be removed afterwards pretty easily.
People who are this disconnected from how normal life works think that they are qualified to radically change immigration policy. "This can be a new home for billions of peasants and slum-dwellers." These people are dangerous.
Great story. One of my favourite guys.
Laughed to hard at this, damn John I could see the steam coming out of your ears.
As someone who wasn't a car guy until maybe a couple years ago (and even then it was a slow burning kind of love) long story short if you don't like cars it's just an appliance that gets you from place to place comfortably while carrying whatever you need it to in the cheapest manner possible
