BUSTED!! Dave DID NOT PAY For The BENTLEY…

[@dailydrivenexoticsstories]

To the people who want to complain about clickbait before they even watch the video. The Bentley had not been paid for. Not a single dollar was given to August Luxury motorcars and yet they sent the car to California in good faith so Dave could start his build. I took a cheque yesterday for $53,000 to Ashley so the car down payment and first monthly payment was paid for! So not sure why some people want to complain about clickbait when the title and thumbnail are clearly as real as it gets.

[@chaddjayne4238]

Get em Damon

[@abokaf6132]

Can I have the fast and furious machine then?

[@bikeman1396]

To be fair there has been plenty in the past, but hey damon were birthday bros so cheers to that, from vancouver island!

[@AlinB12]

You dont get it.. they have been click bait for all this years and now even tho sometimes the are exactly what IT îs în the video the wording of IT sounds click bait

[@MoirSolace]

Real DDE fam understand and encourage clickbait. Clickbait pays the bills and brings us content!!

[@The_Mustang_Den]

I retired after 30 years in the US Air Force and now work as a Manager at The Home Depot. The type of friendship and camaraderie you have at DDE is what I miss so much from my time in the military. It truly is a rare thing in the work place. I spend so time listening to petty complaints, dealing with constant call outs and dealing with high school type drama not to mention, walking on eggshells concerning pronouns and anything that can possibly “trigger” someone. Thanks for providing a Sanctuary for so many of us to escape to for a few minutes each day.

[@lrolfe21]

No one cares

[@Rume-i3v]

Yea I'm retired army, this content is definitely enjoyable as I miss the camaraderie. great to see other sm enjoy this aswell

[@ALLGODSDIE]

Thank you for your service.

[@alvinoramirez1865]

I like the family dave and damon have built, i hope you guys make this work for the long run, from the business aspect, and from a personal side i hope you guys never go into bad terms.

[@Kiarroo]

The more I watch DDE I realize that this isn't just like a job or a workplace this is just a big ass family where everyone cares for everyone. Great work you guys!

[@coulsonfarmandlivestock2155]

And where Dave is clearly near OD on caffeine 😆

[@ngdr_hank]

Happy Birthday Michael Essa 2013 Formula Drift Champion! You should let these guys know the handbrake is positioned incorrectly on the sim rig. Should be to the left of the shifter, not the right. Also, I had to give this a shot after Damon's run. 1:33:220, lap 2.

[@Mrstickz]

That depends on the setup really. Handbrake on the right is more geared towards rally. To the left is for drifting. I run it right myself

[@ngdr_hank]

@@MrstickzThis is under the assumption that they'll be primarily drifting or doing gymkhana-style driving. Which is what they've alluded to. You're right though! Didn't intend to be misleading!

[@tetolink12]

They need the motion sim ring

[@ngdr_hank]

@@tetolink12 No, they're right not to have it. That's for enthusiasts, not real world drivers. The motion rig won't translate properly until you get into BIG BIG money.

[@cryptokarnage6394]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!! You deserve it Big guy!

[@WorldWideWebb98]

I can’t believe how consistent you guys are with videos. I can’t help but look forward to what comes next

[@SycaShow]

I always tell my girl I gotta watch my NOVELA aka DDE

[@Fumble]

More importantly, props to the DDEditor for his exceptional effort & pumping them out

[@MrGravid08]

These videos are my daily wind down after work. Not sure what I would do with out them 😂

[@STFP88]

​@@Fumble I think there are 2 editors.. Mark and another dude they was talking about some videos ago

[@jerrypage4327]

Happy Birthday Mike...I really enjoy hearing pieces of your automotive knowledge,I find the entire DDE gang ,the cars, the rallies the car builds, and the general shenanigans, quite entertaining, best of luck in the new shop and in the new year fellas.

[@Grant.G.Simpson]

title the videos anything you like, watched every single one for 8+ years and still will regardless of title, also....happy birthday mike... and congratulations Ashley hope you have a life long fantastically happy marriage, with a wicked sense of humour like you showed here, i'm sure you will.

[@MarkSegree]

Thank you. Real fans don't read titles, we just watch every video. Titles are to bring in more income so we can have bigger content from the creators we love

[@jesserhodes7430]

You guys are awesome. The comradery you and the team have and the generosity you show them is admirable. Love the vids, I dont give two f's about clickbate, screw the haters.

[@dwight9807]

Yoooo Ashly’s lit let’s get more of that goof ball on the channel 😂

[@mrrbb2028]

I love that you guys celebrate everybody’s birthday. Mike , Tim and Shawn are such a great addition to the Team and Marc makes everything funny. Happy Birthday Mike

[@vicrod74]

Much appreciation to Mike and his contributions to the channel. He's a great asset to DDE. Happy Birthday!

[@shk2564]

It was fun watching everyone playing with the simulator and I always love it when you visit Billionaire Mike at his place! He seems like a great guy and a good friend! ❤

[@stuartlloyd622]

Click bait or not the true DDE fans dont care either way they just respect how much work it takes to grow a channel to this level. DAMON&DAVE KILL IT!!!

[@josealgarin9537]

Happy Birthday MIKE!! Love the great work you do for DDE and definitely happy they brought you on board! KEEP BEING GREAT and may you have many many more years of successful life!

[@xRaptorScreamx]

In AC you can tune Force Feedback on each car, also, you dont need to go max Torque on the wheel to feel good. And maybe the brake pedal isnt calibrated properly, if it dosent brake as it should or is biased towards the 2nd half of the travel

[@skylinesolutionsmisguided_6721]

Oh my days Ashley is banging, we need her in the videos more 😊 and happy birthday Mike its crazy how much he has accomplished ,,, straight up legend and definitely the best addition to the channel taking it up 10 levels

[@4evarich5]

No.

[@tcbkame2193]

Happy birthday Mike 🎉 love how I could hear Tim laughing behind the camera 😂😂

[@2007poilu]

You guys are freaking awesome for being such good brother from another mother 🎉happy birthday Mike enjoy it like the champ you are on this team 🎉

[@Diehard-j9z]

Happy Birthday Mike!!! Your a king of men and a true inspiration world wide!! Truly amazing!! From your friends in Calgary,Alberta, CANADA 🇨🇦 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@higherstandard710]

The leasey boys 😂 stradman is taking notes 😂

[@charlesbenoist9904]

Damon started his dream of a dream because race cars. 10 years later got a chance to make it EPIC Happy Birthday Mike ❤

[@speedfreaks9377]

Mike is amazing with cars he even knew what was off on the simulator and adjusted it to make much better to just as you would with an actual car 👍

[@RRFerrara]

It’s my Birthday today. Happy Birthday day to you guys as well. Only the greats were born in January. Love ya guys. Blessings to all of you and your families. Happy New Year.

[@philpoole8282]

Happy Birthday Michael Essa ... may you have many more. Keep up the amazing work you've been doing 👌

[@yeotes423]

Pro Tip: DON'T pull on the wheel when you are getting up out of the seat or trying to adjust your seat!

[@2wavyaxa139]

They are sponsored they dont have to worry as much but good advice for those that dont know.

[@JonTheTeaMan]

@@2wavyaxa139I’m surprised their sponsor didn’t edit the force feedback for the wheel and the sim. Seems overly powerful 😆 I could be wrong

[@AzJackE]

@@JonTheTeaManor the pedal sensitivity 😅

[@vincencohan3626]

I really thought damon gonna slam that cake on mike’s face 😂 the way he lift that cake up 😂

[@Kiaboys392]

I want to see more videos of confident Tim reviewing the Grullon, more specifically the engine and turbo. The engine I believe is actually a 2GRFE, which is the same in the Lexus RC350 which I’ve been desperately trying to find a turbo kit for or at least something to base it off of.

[@JMB676]

Happy birthday Mike, glad you’re on our team.

[@samharris8430]

Happy birthday! Mr. Mike! All you guys are awesome! Tim and Mark and whoever else, thank you!

[@drdeath8179]

Happy birthday Mike! I remember the tigra ice racer on the original gran turismo we used to to save our cars on a memory stick and take to friends houses to race I’ve raced on laguna hundreds of times lol recently went there with my wife for the f1 races it was EPIC there’s a spot on that last hairpin where u can get up close to the track it was awesome

[@jacobfont8084]

Happy belated birthday Mike Essa hopefully you got the message I send dde on fb but if not here is late one ha enjoy your day Brother thank you for being a great edition to dde and a great role model to look up to keep slaying it Sir!

[@traggerhippie]

Every workspace should have a sim like that, there's no better way of healthy competition with co-workers while also having a good time hanging out with eachother.

[@kalebcrabtree1733]

another good video. dde is one of the only channels i really watch bc they keep it honest. yeah they been doing some questionable things behind the scenes but later they explain this and that. i’m a loyal fan of dde so i will watch this video anyways

[@jimmarshall5453]

Stick a road flare in the cake. It looks like a candle. I'd like you to take the sim race car from Laguna Seca over to Pebble Beach Golf Course and watch you tear through all 18 holes and greens. Happy Birthday Mike!

[@CPLND]

Best Birthday Wishes Mike Mike! I love that you guys are adding SIM content. I caught the bug during Covid lockdown. Assetto Corsa is amazing when you add Content Manager and mods, thank me later!

[@nickbuxton4524]

Happy birthday Mike such a great addition Damon is the goat for bringing him on board, can I ask what assetto corsa you were playing please I need to get it for my set up

[@Semuatentangmobilelegends]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! WISH YOU ALL THE BEST , HOPE YOU STAYED AT DDE MORE YEARS TO COME!🔥💗🤘 Much love from DDEfam Indonesia!🇮🇩❤️‍🔥🇮🇩❤️‍🔥🇮🇩❤️‍🔥🇮🇩❤️‍🔥🇮🇩❤️‍🔥

Happy birthday Mike. Funny how Mike on the simulator and everyone has their arms crossed the same way. 😂😂😂😂

[@LunchBox32]

You guys need a leaderboard display for you guys and all the guests who come through the shop

[@jamess1732]

Everybody who complains about the titles is it that serious? They are still trying to reach new subscribers and thats one way to do it. DDE fans watch the videos no matter what the title is.

[@chaddjayne4238]

Happy belated Birthday Mike. Hope the kids and wifey had something nice for you.

[@MTH1217]

That robot comment was hilarious. Happy birthday Mikey!

[@TOM-C.]

The best of happy Birthday's Mike, and may your year be filled with as much joy as you give us watching your very informative vlogs. Dave, 20:33 Is Damon's name really Damion?

[@aidan2235]

Happy birthday Mike! For the Asetto Corsa, u can turn on the tyre temp interface to show on the screen and u could change the game setting to start the game with "temp ready" tyres from the get go

[@Brooks22n]

FIRST THING I do when I get home from work , WATCH DDE ‼️

[@Ice9Gaming]

omg..the whole cake bit was freaking funny as hell!!!

[@shaunthomas501]

Could you possibly show us the older cars and hotrods they have at AUGUST. They look amazing from a distance from what glimpses we get. Keep up the amazing work. Love both channels. All the way from Australia.

[@thefamjaycrew3901]

Happy birthday 🥳 Mike his lost his spot though lol 😆 Tim the boss now XD 😂DDE strong 💪

[@johnboling5996]

tim cant record no more all you hear is him trying his hardest to hold in his laughing 😂😂😂😂

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

DailydrivenExotics Stories Great Video I'm glad you had a great time on your Racing Sim and that Damon made it back home safely and that he paid Ashley for Dave's Continental GTs Down payment and First Monthly Payment and I think it's awesome that Mike and Matt have so much faith in you two

[@tmoneysims]

So cool to see damon play the game i mainly play too! BTW you can turn on Tire blankets to keep the tires warm and have them be warm from the start. I also see you guys have the stock version of assetto corsa which i recommend upgrading to content manager version to be able to add more tracks, cars, and visual mods. i got 1:33 in the Huracan GT3 at Laguna Seca vids on my channel

[@nicholasjoubert1489]

Just a bunch of friends, making memories and having a good time ❤ That's all that matters. DDE Fam 🎉

LOVE THE AMOUNT OF VIDEOS WE HAVE BEEN GETTING KEEP IT UP TEAM YOU ARE KILLING IT

[@thomasleworthy5613]

You guys should get foot cams when youre at the track or even just out for big drives. Would be a cool perspective to see Mike and Damon's feet when theyre on it. Love the videos, they make my day!

[@IAMK3YYY]

DDE Have 2 great Mikes behind them. one finds and provides a car, and the other cuts up the car provided by the first Mike.

[@robertocastro5669]

I was just in Kelowna yesterday. I thought about stopping by August to say hi but didn’t know if they would even come out

[@beatnickclassics]

Biggest tip for sim racing... Tire noise is most important.. listen to the tires... Adjust volumes so tire noise is loudest... Don't lock up the brakes like Mike and slide... Use the motor and trail braking to slow down...

[@josebatres524]

28:10 Tom & Ashley !! Congrats!! 😅😅😅 Also can they repo the car in Cali from Canada ?💀😂

I wish DDE would grant one birthday wish for every crew member who celebrates a birthday that involves everyone like go-cart racing, miniature golfing, a trip to Disneyland or Magic Mountain, etc.

[@nickchristofalos1772]

That sun looks like so much fun!!

[@MichaelJ1941-AMC]

you should be able to go into the assetto corsa game setting and turn down force feed back slider to lessen the amount of jerk the steering wheel gives if it much more then how a real car feels

[@Nickgyw6]

Happy birthday Mike. You’re such a good dude. Enjoy.

[@krisaunedi4920]

Happy birthday Mike. Everything else is irrelevant to what DDE says or does. At the end of the day your opinion doesn't matter to DDE accept it for who they are and believe what they say or what actions they do the people's opinion just don't matter. Everybody has to accept who DDE they are believe them or not your choice!!!

It will be awesome to start a driving classes at the new DDE HQ. Just imagine mechanics, drifting school, body work ,rentals, paint shop, wheels for super cars, maybe a restaurant with crazy plates that we can name like the Bugatti burgers, Lam shops, turbo shots of liquor, Ferrari soup lmao just my imagination to build the most exotic car dealership in the world because with 60k sq feet you have to do a little of everything imaginable...in the future we will see DDE having its own dealership with everything from rentals to mechanics to schooling ppl to drive race cars...said it here 2024 sending love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@sortedsupercars4431]

Adjust the steering settingd, there is force feedback And tone, forced feedback is the stiffness of the wheel, tone is the shaking and feel of the road. Set a dial on the wheel to adjust each one and set it as desired

[@birani123]

So when is DDE putting an exhaust system on the TRX?

[@CarCultureCommunity]

I've done a few sim racing you guys need to be easy on the brakes and softer entrance then exit harder it takes some getting use to but you guys got this
