A guy saying “Just ignore that, it’s just AI” while watching coolant spill out everywhere, was pure gold!

I laughed too hard at that

yep derek loves that thats one of the best parts of watching his videos he is just an amazing guy i wish i could meet him but impossible unless i win the lottery anytime soon live way way too far haha

[@gtm624]

🤣 he said digical to the beer guy. ❤ it. I’ve adapted the word as well. It’s a vice grip thing🤷🏻‍♂️

Absolutely awesome. Best channel on here. A bloke from down under the ball approves. Thanks Derek and Jessica for bringing us along.

It's crazy how you can film, drive, work on your vehicles, meet fans, eat, sleep and the edit and produce a new episode. I'm so thankful that you do so but I'm also staggered at the amount of work you do! Bravo! As a Ford guy, I'm glad Waylon turned out to be a good rig. It would be cool to see him on a Crown Vic chassis swap!

[@launceherron]

I bet he might know a guy that could get him a deal on Crown Vic parts....

[@bryantTheFatBadger]

Hey Fella and Fellet! I appreciate the amazing work you do with every video, but especially this Power Tour series. I've never been much of a gear head, but I love old trucks, just never had the confidence to work on vehicles. Watching your catalog the last couple years has made me confident that I can figure this stuff out, and if not, I'll just tap on things with a Tonya Harding, pair of vice grips, or just pretend I didn't see anything and that it's fine - and all will be good, as long as I have a boat gas can in the passenger seat with me, and some of that Marvel Mystery Oil.... nobody knows what's in it, it's a mystery! Also, my teenage daughter and I have always had a hard time finding similar interests, but she also loves your videos - so it's something we've been able to bond over, and speak in VGG-isms together. Anyways, I proudly wear around some VGG merch, it's the least I can do to repay you for the work you do, and joy your family spreads. Keeping my eyes open for a good C20 step side deal without too many speed holes, but plenty of stories left to make.

[@markgagnon6898]

Hey Derek answer me this I'm just asking the old Chevy the whatever you call it the one with the straight-6 the wife's truck why is it so low in the back it really looks gay dude

That '66 Ford deserves some attention when you get it home. It needs some custom wheels and tires, too.

[@aggromonk9154]

So happy to see you guys take a step back and not go full on celebrity mode and actually connect with the fans. Truly awesome. It's awesome to see how far a guy has come from taping a phone to the garage door. You deserver every bit of success.

It's cool to wait for these on weekends, it's now about 1.30am when this came out. Was just about the hit the lights, but surely feller can go a bit longer with quality content! It's less fun on weekdays, but time zones and round earth are what we have to live with. 😂

[@jeffvaughan6363]

You can't "just ignore" the instant good mood you get with Derek and family! Yes!!! 😂

[@Mrmartins345]

See Derek and jessica are just as inspiring if not more so as the cars. The fact they have found fame and fortune with VGG through shear hard work and having created one of the most successful YT channels also a TV series and been the face of o'reillys so on. what is inspiring is they both have thier feet firmly planted on the ground taking time with fans and keeping VGG the same as it was when it started. A big Thankyou guys for keeping the car scene alive from 1 of your million plus subscriber's.

[@AdamWaffen]

So your point is you don’t know the difference between “shear” and “sheer”.

[@pandknz]

Great few days of watching, just need to add a 66 Dodge to the next tour

[@patrickmcconville9662]

Missed finding you on my first power tour. One thing that has not been shown is the community response to the parade of cars in most of the towns.i was awestruck over the amount of people out cheering us on. All ages of folks, businesses, car clubs and even law enforcement cheering as went by, that is the memory that will stay with me forever!

Derek and family, I love your channel. Not only entertaining and informative, but there is a recurring thread in every video about perseverance. You prove over and over again that you can have fun in the face of adversity. There's a "never give up" thing going on that hits home for me. I won't bore you with my story because everyone's got burdens to bear. Your knowledge and perseverance get you and your family to and through events HUNDREDS of miles away from home in vehicles so old and/or dodgy that most folks wouldn't trust them to go get groceries. Thanks for the videos and all that you guys do.

Inspired me to get the 78 nova custom 2 door coupe hard top on the road after 4 years. Man, much respect to this channel. Nobody is doing it like this guy. If he can get a abandoned riggety crusty dusty busty 1980s cheverlator on the road and travel 800 miles plus right off the rip… surely I can get my car back in the road. And I started turning the wrenches on it. 😌💯
