Something uniquely special about watching you explain the blower to Bradly in high speed. Thanks for putting that in Dad.

[@marcmalek5956]

Dang! Bradley is getting tall. Always love seeing the boys out helping dad on the rigs. Keep on killing it Derek, as a creator and a father.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Tall'r than his momma now!

Bentley seems to be the most enthusiastic gear head. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him race like his old man

He's going to be one of those tall/strong units like his Dad. It's funny, he was just a boy when I first started watching the channel, he's basically a young man now, how time flies by.

[@anthonymcdonald2378]

Watching Vice Grip Garage has taught me a couple things 1. How to tell how bad or good the motor is by tasting the oil 2. You don't need to have the best of the best of equipment to get stuff done 3. You absolutely do not have to act grown up to have fun! Thank you Bieri family for all the amazing content! Please keep up the amazing work of educating while being entertaining!!

[@1975napier]

The boys have the best playground a kid could ask for.

I remember back in the day when I would stop by my grandpa's farm, and we would on cars and trucks, and then his eyes would glaze over, and he would go into a dead toned monologue in an attempt to get me to buy the specific brand of soylent his overlords were telling him to infect me with. The good ole days for sure.

[@MrGomjabber]

Yes! Friday night, Bourbon manhattan, couch, and VGG! Great seeing the kids playing in the car. My uncles farm had a old Mustang parked there that I used to go sit in it and shift and make care noises, squealing tires, etc. Neat seeing that.

[@tomlee3250]

Just a quick thank you. My going to town rig is a 75 Camaro. I was having trouble with the HEI ignition. I've never had a car with HEI. On one of your vids you worked on a car with the same ignition system and I was able fix mine by learning from watching you. So Thank you.

Holy christ the hours I spent as a kid playing behind the wheel of old junk cars, or whatever cars were around, or pieces of cars, or even cars that were mine that I was old enough to drive but still likes to just sit and drink it in and imagine the possibilities... who am I kidding. I'll gladly play around in a car in my 30s.

400 small block - literally the best old school SBC ever made... well, second best, behind the Z/28 302 Replaced with! Just another LS - Just another LS. Don't get me wrong. I love this channel. But from top to bottom this project is a stillbirth. The 'Vette and the Monte BOTH deserved better.

The boys are growing like weeds! It's great that you include them in the work because they are learning invaluable lessons for life.

Your son will appreciate his first finger break. Nothing like having your dad around when you do your first. Then you get to laugh at him. He'll love it when dad drives him in for his first X-ray.

Derek, I have to say thank you, for all of the work you do. You continually bring solid content to the car community, the kind that doesn’t leave us hanging. I’ve been a car guy all my life and there’s a lot I’ve had to learn alone. It’s been refreshing being able to find content that covers every aspect of whatever you’re trying to learn, in such a simple way that seems to really resonate with others. And to turn education into inspiration is absolutely the pinnacle of what a great teacher could be. You truly are a hero

[@alwaysopen7970]

learning alone is half the fun. My car buddy moved to FLA and up and died on us. His ticker was bad. He had a pacemaker as it was Whatever made him think moving away was going to do for him didn't pan out.
