Rudy had Trevor show up. It was good seeing Trevor.

[@ryancoke9]

The way Matt lights up when telling his story and watching him light up like a kid at Christmas when introducing everyone… you can tell he’s in his happy place… semi retired sounds good!! Congrats everyone!!!

[@dzzope]

Whoever edited the thrashing sequence.. Great job, simple but so V brilliantly done.. Loved the pickup in tempo with the kicking the grill guard.

[@rockysquirrel4776]

I wish Gumby the best, and pray that he gets well soon. I lost both my in-laws to staph infections going septic, and I don't wish the same grief on anyone's family and friends.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good MORRning everyone! Thumbs UP to Matt and Crew! Let the Demo Derby begin! 💥💥🏁🏁

[@bobstratton6362]

I loved every second of it. Bummer that your car didn’t run well but still a great derby.

[@chrisstevens7823]

Awesome to see Rudy and Trevor. I think you guys should do more videos like this. The derby was awesome! We look forward to all your videos and hope to visit your guys shop in the fall. Kids absolutely love your videos. Great work to the editing team on the videos you guys don't get enough credit.

[@joshuawatson1902]

Would LOVE to see more demolition derby content!! Maybe you could host the next one the way you did the Wrecker Games. You all are learning how to host events, so I say go for it!!!!

[@DrHavok1]

hah i am glad everyone had fun and nobody really got hurt.... jamie is such a supportive wife she rocks, she knows you are going back out there again lol

[@jeffdavis9738]

After Matt tried to blow out the flames (did anyone smell burning hair?) the ‘derby dash’ for a fire extinguisher was on!!!😂😂😂

[@ronwatson4135]

I'm glad for Robby. I feel sometimes he gets overshadowed by MORR and Fab Rats but he held his own and won in the Demo Derby.

[@RedRooter0828]

I miss Trevor on the channel as well. Always seemed like a great guy

[@lonhoschar1943]

Great video!! I loved hearing what was going on and why you were having trouble keeping the car running. I watched the race and I knew 'something' was wrong! .... So.. if you build another car... NO FIRES!!! I'll bet the problem was those melted plastic parts in the carb... those things are USUALLY there for a reason🤣🤣🤣

[@darksideharleygirl3691]

You all did a wonderful job so nice to see family and friends help one another we need more of this in todays world.

[@Patrick.Weightman]

That beginning clip genuinely felt like a lost Three Stooges episode 😂😂😂

[@richj120952]

I installed a fire extinguisher in my kitchen the day we moved in to our home, 4 years ago. Your fire reminded me that I had done that, but could not recall exactly where. So, of course I went and looked. (Right on the wall, over the trash can.) Then I also though about the possibility of fire in my kitchen. It was fairly high, as when we moved in we had electric burners on the range. But, I replaced that range with an induction one. No source of ignition exists anymore. I never thought about that when I installed the induction range, but that is a pretty big advantage. Not that there could not be fire from another source but we have reduced the possibility by a lot. In any case, thanks for the reminder that occasionally, we need to remind ourselves of where our emergency response equipment is located and that we need to verify that it is still functional.

[@davidbenji1]

Really loved your taking us through the play by play with Jaime. I agree with you. On video, the hits don't really look that hard but then seeing your head bounce around, it is probably harder than it looks!

[@DeafRVTraveler]

I love how jamie is so supportive and being part of it. Great job on the race. There’s always next time to get a chance to win.

[@darrinstone49]

I'm supprised no one had a desent carb to loan you or putting one on from a parts store. I totally get wanting to have a rig or toys that always perform well without having to wrench on them! I take alot of pride in my bikes, sleds, trucks, trailer... from having all electrical items working to having extra gear & full box of tools. My tunnel bags are crazy heavy with extra gear, goggles & 2 extra pair of gloves. Each sled has servival gear, first aid kits & lightweight shovels. Alot like you guys have done with your wreckers now. The crazy part is how little gear we use to worry about when we're younger & we did what Matt does... ahhh we will figure figure something out. Our emergency pull start straps were always busted & tied together to make a tow strap... I finally started packing a Leatherman. We bought gloves with black liners so no one would notice how greasy they were... sleds have come along ways & we have more funds for safty gear & actual elastic straps for towing. It's a way different world than the 80-90s! The best part is you had a blast with good friends & made new memories!
