What’s it really like to drive the world’s most insane supercars?
And does owning one unlock a new level of performance and mindset?
Today, I’m sitting down with Damon from Daily Driven Exotics (DDE).
If you don’t know DDE, they’re a KZbin powerhouse with 3 million subscribers.
Damon’s been at this game for 12 years, and he’s changed car culture FOREVER.
We dive into what it’s like owning some of the rarest supercars, dealing with cops, and the crazy world of Gumball 3000.
But this isn’t just about cars.
It’s about mindset. Living your passion full throttle. And staying grounded even when you’re behind the wheel of a million-dollar ride.
These are lessons you don’t want to miss.

The best automotive youtube out there . Never gets bored . I am from bahrain 🇧🇭 , everyday i wait for their video that uploads 4.00pm for the past decade, and it makes my day. Damon is such an inspirational guy. 👏

[@danmartell]

He’s the best

[@iamahmedmunir]

Just like me in 🇮🇶 Iraq I am excited every 4pm for a DDE video since 2017 Never missed a video

[@DummyProofGaming]

DDE fam over here . I wait for 8 am on my side for epic uploads

[@Zirion123]

To bad 90% of theire videos is clickbait or they put the thing in the title at the end of a video ..

[@Whatmurdaaaaa]

3rd I put Cleetus and Rob Damh ahead of dde

[@MattyMatt80]

I am a genuine fan of Dave and Damon and the entire Daily Driven Exotics family! Especially as I continue to recover from a near fatal, massive stroke into my surprise. I received some signed merch from Dave and Damon themselves along with a hat that was signed by them as well, but they get well card while I was still in the hospital recovering. I’ve been watching the guys from DDE for years and I’ve been a huge fan. I hope that one day meet Damon because he truly is an inspiration.

[@mikeperri354]

Hey God bless you, man.

[@Steve89074]

Damon and Dave are my every morning inspiration. Gets me smiling to start my day.

[@ruststar]

Get better role models, Damon is a complete douchebag hypocrite

[@breakupgoogle]

yeah they are my morning coffee.

[@sam.gaudet]

This collab goes hard🔥 Damon is a gem

[@danmartell]

He really is

[@codeg8884]

U can tell that even with years being an influencer this guy is all around just a good respectful person and thats legit , i cant believe the amount of stuff he probly has had to deal with and im glad he calls it as it is and isnt just a disrespectful jerk like most ppl in his industry and i would love to meet him and the team

[@user-jn4tx1rr4m]

Lmfaooooo are you serious? Damon is not a nice guy he’s all show on camera…. In person he’s a dick and acts like he’s better than everyone around, people will look at him and so for pics and say BIG FAN! and he would look at you super weird, unless his camera is on then he pretends like he’s the nicest guy ever and loves his fans, he needs to be humbled, Dave is the actual nice guy

[@IDv8I]

I love the deeper dive into Damon's life and channel, great questions and very insightful answers. As part of the "DDE Fam" or I'm a big DDE Fan, I like Damon and Dave's friendship along with their personalities in front and behind the camera, I guess that's why the real OG's enjoy the Stories channel as much as the main. Great part 2, thank you.

[@nimeninimic179]

I was waiting for this interview. Amazing stuff !

[@danmartell]

Pumped you like it!!

[@queybhoy1888]

This is the Damon I like slick and smooth. Thanks for putting Canada 🇨🇦 on the map for the best exotic car channel ever.

My biggest takeaway: Cars. That’s all I needed to hear.

[@danmartell]

Same here🫡

[@BevRich-y8u]

I live for that DDE channel.. the work that Damon and Dave put into daily uploads.. is very much appreciated..

[@dangerrangerrob4664]

its cool to see a guy like Damon thats built this DDE empire and be so down to earth. it truly shows how much he just wants to share his experience without putting himself on a high horse, idk how im gonna do it but i want a ford gt and to be able to share it with people the same way he dose.

[@apexkritical]

Holding the microphone for an hour is crazy!

[@danmartell]

My videographer made me do it;)

[@apexkritical]

@@danmartell after the first 10 minutes I was asking myself, are they going to hold the mics for the entire interview? Had to fast forward. Great interview btw👍

[@3v1lmind]

way better for Damon than holding the Camera😂😂😂😂😂

its so surreal to see Damon soft spoken, not performing for the daily chaos of DDE. thanks for the awesome!! @Dan and @Damon!!

If you follow the DDE stories channel, you'll see him like this a lot.

[@Motorsportqueen]

I found DDE on Audit the Audit Story about Damon being pulled over by police. I started watching and have never looked back. I love that Damon is DTE and is not a snob which is expected when you see a supercar. I have been around supercars on Racetracks but never really known anyone that has a supercar on the road. I have fallen in love with the Konisegg brand hope to one day see one in peson. I am in Australia and plan to one day chceck out the LA cars and coffee scene.

[@jeffcole9751]

2 Canadians just crushing the content game.. literal trail blazers.. what a great time to be alive!

[@killmitchell]

interesting interview, good content on this channel

[@Vampirebear13]

Great video Dan !!! I've been following DDE for about 8 years now, when Damon had just posted his 2nd video & have met Damon & Dave twice, July 2018 & July 2019. Damon & Dave are both great guys, especially when they're just being themselves & not their YT characters. I wish you the level of DDE success.

[@boradolen]

DAMON is a absolute legend thank you for the Interview 🙏

The ethos of cars and sharing ,I find my motorcycle (drz400 sm) draws people in. Then you get the one young boy ask if i can rev it when i leave the grocery store. His smile was absolutely so worth it!

[@chadmoon5063]

What an incredible interview. Great questions that a lot of us wanted to know who watch both channels. Keep it going because this is the stuff we want to see!

[@Japerador]

Great interview fellas!!! Damon sir much Respect

[@infiniti1123]

Its so crazy to me that Damon gets any hate. I guess people dont take the time to actually try to get to know him. I guess they assume because he has a super car and he talks loud hes someone he's not. He's a smart, inspirational and humble. Good stuff. I am hopeful yall keep doing these.

[@yanzn5926]

Sometime when ppl always do good things, even 1 small mistake became hate. Iiwii for to be an influencer, u cant satisfy everyone😂

[@marioremondino9837]

🤣🤣 you don’t know Damon then🤣🤣 he’s a narcissist. Will do anything for fame. Burned many bridges in the industry by being a punk influencer. Threatened to sue Randy Savage because they started a channel and Damon was a pussy and felt threatened by it. Damon used sexy pix of his daughter for thumbnails. He cuts everyone off when talking. But they make cool videos and have cool cars….

[@johnmoore8800]

Very Inspirational video. Love the mutual respect you guys have for each other! I have been a fan of Damon's ever since he put out his first videos way back when he did do some of the work on his cars that he started his channel with. It was like watching a low key spin off of Ken Block's Hooligan series which ironically is where he got his inspiration from. So full circle as he has inspired you and many of us in the car world. Save the combustion engines!!!

[@danmartell]

Appreciate you fellow gas lover🤝

[@_J4KE]

Cheers Dan, tremendous podcast, so well spoken - proper questions at a pace like what we like to drive. It should be said confidently, that Damon (OFC MR.DDE) and now yourself also inspire us younger. To dream, aspire, achieve and drive as you both have. God Bless you both

[@leonhargrove6178]

This was a really good watch, DDE is one of my favorite creators

[@ctown6971]

6:02 This must have been filmed before Damon talked to current owner of car. He found out why it was popping out of 1st. Houston figured it out when he was rebuilding the car. So if it was fixed right when he dropped it off origanally he would have never had to taken it back so it would have never been wrecked and he would still have the car.

[@GAMER_PUNK247]

20:13 Damon looks like lieutenant Dan lol, the way his shorts look and the way the camera is filming, looks like he doesn't have any legs 😂

[@erickvillanueva6506]

I had never seen Dan’s channel but I saw Damon so her I am

[@danmartell]

Appreciate ya!

[@Far2hip]

Super solid advice in here is don’t buy an exotic based on it simply being a high dollar value than another. The best gauge of what will truly satisfy you as the owner/driver is to discover the specific car that excites and intrigues as many of your senses as possible and just feels satisfying as an overall experience. If you’re looking for a thrill ride periodically but still ant to be able to daily drive the car, you need to still feel satisfied dealing with the compromises you intentionally factored in. If you want a more comfortable daily experience, you need to be satisfied by the performance limits that suspension will deliver. If you love toggling the limits of adhesion where your skills ply a deeper role in the aggressive driving experience, you’ll need to be fine with a stiffer ride during the daily aspect. It’s all a balance. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@riledkyle1703]
