We're going to pretend we didn't see that comment.😅J/K

I've, always had my own version of it. But, no one here, would believe me.😄

Don't listen to the haters

I use the term cold snack all the time now.

I say that we gotta hook our peepers on it at work.

It was the muffler straps on the headlights that got me! 😂

Hope everybody gets better hang in there brother 🤘🏽

Best of luck getting better man!

Hoping everything gets better for you and fast brotha 🙏

I hit the little "thumbs up" button but thats because i hear what you are saying. Two years ago when I was caring for my terminally ill dad Derek made me laugh and smile in a way that I still cannot describe to this day. I wish I had discovered his channel before he passed. Something about these video helped me through a very very rough time. Sam I wish you, your girl and your wife the best. Isn't it weird? Good people do still exist (Derek I mean)

I haven't watched TV in like a decade or more, glad you could finally open your eyes 😂

WATCH 23 MINUTES IN HELL BY BILL WIESS SUPERNATURAL NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE.DOES. LIFE EXIST AFTER DEATH WATCH THIS THOUGHT PROVOKING STORY AND FIND OUT*"VETERAN SCOTS GUARDS**"!!

I agree with you 100%. And no disrespect Derek if you see this, but your personal videos are much better than Road Worthy rescue.

Since the only TV I get is the at-work break room...only recently did I start seeing trailers for the show. Apparently it was off-season so I happened across VGG here in stead. Haven't seen any of the TV eps since no way to or about to trying to schedule work tasks around seeing a TV show. But from what I've seen just of the odd trailer...these solo versions are more interesting. No commercial interruptions (YT ads notwithstanding) or network time slot crunches... @@marcusaurelius2770

@@marcusaurelius2770I like both

100%. TV is just crap.

Agree. Wait. People still pay for commercials..er I mean cable?!

No drinking lol

I personally think you need to add drinking beer to your videos.😂

He has found a way to follow his passion and entertain others all while making a living. Hatred runs deep, even if you don't realize it. Just be happy for him.

You're really a man that takes the time to complain about somebody else's success? If you don't like it then don't watch it.

he is just a good person, keep the videos comming.

The green is cool.

guessing he wouldn't approve of the green.

Thanks for stopping by

Same! 🍕🍺

Amen

@@ViceGripGarage that a lot of happy weeds there

@@jimmyjams4860 Derek is telling you a vision better then MSM

Yeah I busted ass today, this was perfect and appreciated

Those are the best dad memories

That is adorable 😄 It sounds like you're raising him right! Children absorb and learn what they hear... he's off to a great start😀😊

That's funny. 3 yr old

Dropping all...except the camera.

@@theupscriber65 Did you see him filming that happen? I didn't.

He filmed like 3 seconds of the fire before he put it out. @@lyman135

... bring the thunder...fellers and fellettes...

He did a gyrocopter??!! Which episode?

@@Tractorsandnonsense All joking aside, if Derek had a rescue video come out titled "Can I get this old 1992 gyrocopter running and fly it from one end of my yard to the other?" easy multi million views.

​@1969BBC It's not to far fetched have Cleetus McFarland there to coach how to fly it 😂

One time I remember very well we we're across town and we needed a drink and we just walked up to a random faucet and started to drink when the old woman that lived in the house came outside and we expected her to yell at us to get outta her yard . She offered us paper cups with ice because it was hot . We thanked her and had nice ice cold water. Things were so much different back then.

​@@johnromansky6834different times🥺

I grew up on a farm, and frequently drank from the hose. While making hay, rinsing off after unloading a wagon and getting a drink was wonderful.

Yes, drank water from hoses 😎

Appreciate your view sir!

The only Vette I ever owned was back in the 80's. I bought it, drove it an hour and a half home and immediate sold it to a neighbor. So this show is longer than my experience as an owner.

@@ViceGripGarageTruly - my pleasure.

That three tone Mopar green paint job leaves a lot to be desired. Always drank from the hose as a kid.

🤣🤣👍👍@@RogerGBowie

Heirloom

Who cares about spelling I care about love of old cars memories they hold too us petrol heads us English idiots call our selves!! Love the American stuff too but MG Rover till I die! Been dead as manufacture for 18 years now don't buy a Chinese one tho there trash!

Those plants that look like pot are actually bamboo. Dont smoke 'em.

He's 1 of very few UKpostss with over a million subscribers whose video view counts match the sub number... Like the other fella said, once a fan always a fan

Derek does it without cursing...explosions...people running...

Oh now you tell him. 😄😄

I tried like mad!

​@@jasonkelley6185I'm sure he already knew this! Pretty much all Chevy and Mopars had this feature as a just in case option.

@@ViceGripGarage Derek, If the headlight motors fought you when the engine was running and the headlight switch was on, then you have a bad headlight switch. The easy fix for this is to disconnect the small vacuum line running from the headlight switch to the headlight motor vacuum valve in the front of the car in front of the radiator. When you disconnect the hose, the headlights should pop up with the engine running if the headlight motors work. If they don't, you will be able to push them up from below.

So much of it goes over people’s heads too! You know a good 40% doesn’t even realize what he’s doing with wordplay which sucks for them lol

Yup 👍 So nice to see a good ‘ole “will it run and drive” video again!

You can get em pretty cheap right now.

I appreciate that

@@ViceGripGarage of course! I wish people understood how much you sacrafice for us. We only see a small percentage of how tolling it is on you. That’s why I really hope you take time to enjoy what you’ve worked so incredibly hard for. Once again thank you!

​@@ViceGripGarageI have always loved these revivals and road worthy rescues. I have been watching you since your old shop in Minnesota when you did that 1980 burgundy square body. That's for the awesome videos. Are you going to be at the Daytona turkey run Thanksgiving weekend would love to meet you. And see if you sign my vice grip independence chevelle shirt thanks again.

@@ViceGripGaragecorrventador

@@ViceGripGaragehey d your got somebody scamming people on here please let people know he is gifting you red Buick t says you have to pay shipping so you will come feature an episode the person is using your first and last name with a 3 at the end just thought you should know

Thank you so much

Right after watching Derek break down so much and not get upset now wen I get a flat tire or break down I don’t get mad anymore

Just get that rig back into good ole Tennessee and the critters will deal with those nasty Florida ants. @@ViceGripGarage

​@ViceGripGarage Bro, you pulled the Speedy Gonzales with the family with the car on 🔥. That shit was hilarious the way you said it! Keep it up man.

Hey Tim, you have mentioned every single thing I had in mind. Derek, you are truly a great mechanic that have patience like I have never seen on anybody. I wish people can learn from you how to never give up. To be honest with you at first I had to learn to listen to your jokes but later I realized what you were really funny and real. Loved your video it was my first one, but I will be watching you from now on. Thanks

💯💯💯

Fully agree !!!!

Lmao 🤣

Car on fire, second sketchiest car in the road....

That was wild, I thought someone was pulling into O'Reilly with a dirt bike, I was half expecting to hear a comment from Derek about how loud it was!

Thats how its supposed to be too👍

Yeah man, sounded like car was in first gear going 50 mph - it was revving! No wonder it blew .. yikes!

Ditto

Couldn’t agree more!

Donate it to a community college auto repair school. Plenty to work on!

​@@charlesm7589 do not donate to community College they just get torn apart until they won't go back together then they get scrapped. Anyway that's what the one I went to dose

Maybe he could keep it for one of his sons

Watching your long heroic trip home made me realize how lucky I was,flying into Galesburg Illinois & buying a 68 stored Vette and driving it home to Oakland CA. Just a tune up & fluids change plus 2 quarts oil burned on I 80. A lifetime of wrenching still leaves me way short of Your impressive problem solving skills. Sometimes make up for this by great luck, like finding this one owner Vette with 88 K miles in original owner’s garage. Sold it in CA for ridiculous $. I believe we do share a real love for these old machines. That’s probably the source of the good luck sometimes added to our wrenching skills. Gotta know, Derek, when you make such a long highway haul as this revival was, “Somebody up there” really likes you.

I'm only 8 minutes in but does that happen in this video or another one??? If possible can you post a link if it's another video please

Yes this vid

Dgaf

That's Josh Mazerolle's schtick Vague industrys Deathwish is their UKposts channel. My favorite build is either the off road El Camino, or the k truck" stomper" with a twin turbo LS motor

@@ryurc3033busted knuckles is actually the name you’re looking for, for their channel deathwish is a series they do on the channel.

​@@ryurc3033I think that's a great idea... I've often thought when he is in trouble, that there must be a fan close by that would be most willing to do anything for Derek..he has addicts, not just fans!

​@ryurc3033 it's on busted knuckle films channel

“A guy needs some assistance, so I’m gonna do the right thing and call triple A. Nope. Chris R from Cleveland is picking up a starter relay for me from an O’Reilly’s that’s 46.78 miles from here, and has agreed to hold a flashlight while I swap it on the side of this highway, in the snow. great.”

^Completely agree with every word^

ditto! I feel the same way, VGG is my therapy esp since I have his same dry humor and love of engines/cars etc.

Amen !! 😊

Amen.

Right there witcha on the one

More cracks than Charlie Sheen

yep it has a good body and frame. needs some love but it could make a nice drift car.

Really hope the Vette gets a red coat of paint, a heart transplant , and named Lighting McQueen !

I agree its the nice years

According to the federal HESCHLAVVO law, it is already forbidden in Switzerland to drive combustion engines on mountain passes from 2025. In France, the SCHLABOUBVE regulates that fossil vehicles that produce fine dust are prohibited in all cities from 2025. The BABVVO in Germany will bann exhaust gas pollution from 2027 and that is what will happen in entire EU also bann of all tires and brakes because of fine dust!!!

@@Schlipperschlopper Oh well. I suppose us Swiss HAVE to market ourselves somehow. WHERE ON EARTH did you read that mountain passes will be shut for ICE engines in 2025 ? LOL. EVEN Switzerland (as rich if not richer country than the USA but with only 8Mio people rather than 340Mio in the US....) cannot du that.

Please google the Heschlavvo laws@@user-oe1mb9hu9i

ICE are the future electric died 100 years ago and will die again it just isnt viable. @@user-oe1mb9hu9i

Don't let Dinosaur vampires die, we must keep the black blood flowing.

He has a very endearing manner, and clearly knows his business. I've never understood why people just dump beautiful machines and surprisingly don't appear ton want to sell them either.

You were referring to 1:49:00 right? Crazy timing.

Bro just casually walked away and kept recorded after like nothing happened, probably one of the funniest things he’s done

It actually says a lot about his character. Derek is a very genuine guy. He lives TN about 2 and a half hours from where I live in KY. I'd like to meet him and Heavy D Sparks both one day.

Thanks giving lol we’re not even at Halloween

@@Blaines-smallengine-repair In Canada its on October 9th

Here in the UK, it's today, 22nd October,only we call it Harvest festival. Many years ago, when I was a boy, we celebrated it by taking veg into school to be delivered to local old folk.

@@Blaines-smallengine-repair the ol' early harvest up north, my friend! Ha

My pleasure!

Nope

Nice chill and laugh videos. Love VGG!

Welcome to the channel!

you've got some binge watching ta do! Betty White is one of my favs!

The first time I watched Derek's channel years ago, I thought he was a crazy SOB. Nothing's changed. 😂 His wife surely loves him for letting him do this.

@@tflick41 I look forward to it on my next few days off!

@@ViceGripGarage I've worked on several older Corvettes, if they set for long periods of time, the calipers tend to freeze up completely. You'll have to replace em. They are NOT interchangeable. You have to get the caliper for each individual wheel. They were around $80--85 each. You'll need brake pads also. Good Luck, dude.

That el ca-mean-o was at top sketch level. This one may have made it on the long list as a rear end waiting come apart, but the other was sketchy

Wasn't that a 60. The one with the flames

I'd say the most sketchy of what i have watched. Is the one with the car with the engine in the centre and Derek bought a shonky orange pick up, because of the fumes. which had the worst wiring I've ever seen (twisted wire's) and amazed it never caught fires ...that was real sketch!.
