Gonna say it again, with the addition of Mike to the team, the content has dramatically improved on both channels, he is one hell of a skilled craftsman!

[@FazeNystul]

🌭🌭🌭🌭 Ridin

[@skoolboi12017]

Agreed. I unsubscribed to the Stories channel and just seeing Mike work and explain things may lure me back.

[@DirtyMikeTheRacoon]

This is mikes channel now 😂

[@JayMMIII]

Could not have said it better myself. W manz

[@jakethesneakergeek267]

He’s not a real mechanic though he didn’t taste the mystery fluid 😂😂😂

[@vagabondjay7281]

Mike Essa is an awesome addition to the team. Damon, Dave and Mike. Really enjoying this new chapter.

[@_RaVeN33]

I love MIKE ESSA

[@aidanjd]

Don't forget about Mark !

[@brianstanojevic9721]

I was about to say the same thing

[@christopheronstott2358]

Mark is also a very good pickup for DDE he seems to fit in with everyone else!! He brings a lot of knowledge to the filming side of things, but I also love it when Skinny,Garrett and Eric (Mr Carbon fantastic) are in the vlogs !!

[@domvarano3588]

And Mark. Come on man

[@CloroxJelloShot]

My favorite part about having Mike around is him explaining the mechanical part of things. That plus how well he fits making him a great addition.

[@gentlemandrivermx]

With Mike, Tim and Marc, channel has definitely evolved in a good way. Good to see the whole squad. “That’s only for the reveal, then it’s being sent to APR for real carbon fiber”

[@Dizz18]

After the reveal they should send some more parts over to APR for carbon fiber

[@morphlix]

Mike is an asset for sure. And the F12 is quickly becoming my new favorite car on the channel

[@Guape]

well Essa backwards almost spells Asset

[@everythinggtube]

@@Guape damn bruh … you is a genius

[@PeteGee420]

Since the Addition of Mark and Mike along with you two YSOB’s I’ve been totally captivated in the vlogs, the way this channel is going is filling me happiness! Bring it on! Love you guys. 🤩🫶🏻💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

Not even peaking yet yall 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@vjcosta11]

Mike essa is really what this channel needed. wow, just great work\ great content\ great people

[@shawnv82able]

As a detailer for 20 years it brought tears to my eyes seeing the f12 paint 😢

[@jeffnorris4766]

"Did you jump it?" I love that that is a question that has to asked when DDE takes a car anywhere!

[@thatguyboldy6875]

U really found a gem thats the man mike essa, treat him well plzz cause he really fits in and he doesnt seem like he will be going anytime soon either. This is a great relationship u 2 have, and i truly hope it goes well like i think it will. He's DDE fam now, much love ❤

[@briancampbell887]

This channel is 10x better than the regular vlogs as the high energy and yelling and hype has gotten too much. These videos of even just y’all trying to figure out what went wrong is entertaining in itself. Seeing the actual mechanics of these cars is what I’m interested in

[@mjr412]

Was binge watching Netflix and got notification DDE stories made an upload..clicked on it immediately 💯💥🤣

[@SanjayPatel-mx2yk]

Lol😂 I was doing the same!

How is that street legal when everyone is getting pulled over and told to remove their exhaust.

[@fabiangard7421]

I just took moment to myself..and realised... That i spend 30 minutes..daily... on a group of guys..who i dont even know..watching there content.. with Total focus and attention...while i am acros the world ..in a little country called The Netherlands..and still... enjoying every minute. I wish this group all the best of luck to make this content even more exciting than it already is. Special shout out to Mike!! He is such a big example to all the men who loves cars.

[@hopper131]

Damon and Mike have that perfect type of Driver/Crew Chief relationship. As a driver himself Mike implicitly understands the feedback that Damon provides and is able to transform that into actionable results in the cars. Not only is their obvious respect between each other, the trust shared allows each of them to learn from one another without issue. Tim and Mark both have that ability to anticipate what the videos/cars need and it's nice to see them buddy up. Lastly and very importantly, Dave's ability to express difficult business scenarios that affect the entire crew, and solve MASSIVE challenges is his super power. Some might say Dave is just the comic relief, but Dave is the genius behind the madness.

[@steenpedersen4237]

Spot on Hopper :)

[@jameseller487]

The 550 has became my favorite DDE car. From seeing what it was to what it has become. Love watch you guys on both channels. Keep killing it fellas.

[@niewissen9912]

​@THE GREAT RESIST technically down force helps prevent that.

[@demonpriest-5666]

The 550 is a BEAUTIFUL BUILD. My love is truly the F12. She is going to be a beast when she's done ❤

[@SweetMooch]

@29:42 the problem with the brakes is because the brake booster runs on vacuum. The added turbos are causing your issue. It's a relatively easy fix.

[@ielwa]

those few minutes segments.. of you driving that thing in the night just some pulls and flames. has been more interesting than the driving on the mainchannel for a while.. i love that raw shit

[@Rocky-hh3yg]

That F12 is the best car on the internet and Mike is the best addition to DDE since Dave.

[@shannacollins4741]

DDE now officially stands for Damon , Dave , and Essa since YSOBS hired him lol ! WTG guys the 550XX EVO looks awesome and the Super Trefeo Evo 2 was fucking crazy id love to go for a ride wide open throttle ! Lmfao !

[@geoffkeans9441]

The f12 with a cage and motec is gonna be absolutely insane. I honestly think the f12 should be the dde "legacy" car that never gets sold

[@mikepanek736]

I love that 550 now. I wasn’t too high on it when it was first being built but now it’s so sick. Still think you should wide body it though.

[@alexwittmershaus5016]

I think a lot of us are in this boat. I think the plan is too widebody it but they're waiting for the f12 do be done first.

I'm glad Ferrari is watching, your fruitions are coming to life which is beautiful to see. The F12 is literally Dirt McNasty and I'm in love with it. The 550 is so because racecar its such a great fit for the channel. So much going for you guys, but I am just glad to see the F12 coming this far. And now the Murci... all around excited.

[@mattspangler170]

Really dig the feel of the DDE Stories, dare I say even more than the main? Keep up the good work, Mike is a good dude, met him a few times and always willing to talk to anyone who has an interest, great addition to the channel

[@S.V_2024]

Alex @ Gintani, Mike Essa and Nik @ VF Engineering are definitely the Gurus for sure. They do amazing work! DDE is on another level for entertainment! Keep at it boyz!

[@damonmayes2000]

Absolutely love Mike Essa. Best decision you all made to work together 👌

We love Mr Michael “F1 Champion” Essa! Amazing addition to the channel, and exactly what it needed. DDE is going to new heights and I am stoked to get to see it all happen.

[@michaelmorrison3404]

He isn't a F1 champ, he used to race in the Formula Drift series and I believe he won the championship. So it's FD Champion

[@Epic_Badger]

@@michaelmorrison3404 yes I know. If you have watched the videos, Dave has referred to him as F1 champ multiple times as a joke. I was referencing that.

Love seeing what u do and Mike is fantastic and amazing at what he dose and to the team, andcan't wait to c what the F12 will look like when finished 😀 DDE is the best channel on KZbin I think at the moment awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍

Howto describe the DDE F12 in 1 word: Violence. Holy crap that car is amazing, the sound of it. The brutality of it. Loving it.

[@kennetharmas679]

It's unbelievable the difference in the f12. It sounds INCREDIBLE now. It also appears to run equally well. Best of all it absolutely murders tires.

[@eastcoastcarstyles2967]

F12 looks like she's a whole lotta fun💪💪💪 #BecauseRaceCar

[@BIGGELATO]

The F12 Twin Turbo, Aventador SVJ Twin Turbo, 720 GTR, VF Huracorn; are hands down the best cars you guys have/had. Loved the first tire slayer since I was there from the 458 crash and the whole experience of you having the Range Rover, the Scud, Huracan... The 550, Murci, Squadra, Hummer, are of course your personal babies, and I love them too, but the Slayers are like the Titans of the DDE empire, the giants, the monsters, the BEASTS, the warriors of the DDE force. 🤣 You guys motivate me so much that I unfortunetaly had to unsubscribe at one point to focus on my goals and realized how much I missed DDE pushing me to reach higher highs like you guys. Love you guys like big brothers, thanks a lot for doing what you do. 🤙🙏

[@JustinU98]

Damon we need your cars in videogames, 100% beating the game in any of your cars an won't get bored. Cause I usually get bored of the car I first buy after the 4th race lol

I love how Damon calls him sir now that he was properly schooled on the track by Mike. What a great addition.

[@txconfidential9586]

Excited to watch and see this team grow. Look forward to daily uploads on both channels. Thanks for the dedication and tasteful content!

[@Suspicious0ne]

Pro tip for removing stickers: I start with a soft plastic razor blade and a heat gun on low, You'll eat up a lot of the blade but shouldn't scratch the paint. Then dealing with adhesive residue left behind on the paint. 3M makes a good adhesive remover then use a clay cloth for detailing to scrub away. Yes you'll still scuff up the paint a bit but a light polish will buff it out.

[@Henry.25]

Starting the day with DDE, as usual ❤❤

[@AdamGaron686]

Breakfast and DDE 🎉🎉🎉

[@SweetMooch]

I worked at a body shop and they have a tool to remove stickers and badges. It's like a foam flapper wheel that is a drill attachment. It works VERY well and is super cheap.

[@joeym2675]

I can’t say it Enough that Mike is The Best Thing To Happen To DDE since Dave joined you and the new HQ! He is worth his weight in GOLD!!! I know his labor is not cheap but the money he’s going to save DDE is going to be WELL WORTH IT!!! The set up of cars the fixing of cars the knowledge the driving ability it’s endless!!!! All those things that would cost more money and time to go somewhere else!!!

[@rhyansanpedro]

I think DDE has finally dialed working with the right people in Mike,Tim and Marc. It's not that the previous guys were bad sometimes things aren't meant to be. I really hope that things keep working out moving forward, I can only see this channel evolving to greater heights.

[@vyseus21-eg7ve]

Mike is a really good addition to the team. But how Damon don't care about manhandling the paint on the ferrari just made my day.

Mike brings so much to the DDE squad, he's a helluva driver, helluva builder, and he has the knowledge to explain things in a simple and logical manner that's easy for Damon and others to understand 👍

[@kevinwarford63]

Just saw some stuff on Lambo rebuilds and come to find out that the mercy throttle body is the exact part and part number as the Volvo V70 and the price is substantially different. So if it helps find and aquire parts easier or cheaper Google search the part number that your replacing and it will give you options of cheaper cars under the manufacturers umbrella that use identical parts. Of course I don't suggest this for rebuilds that are meant to sell as I'm sure using the lesser companies parts with cancel any collector value

[@joseromero389]
