Can we clone Derek for more content? Between the AIsles, Little grip, VGLodge, Roadworthy rescues, there isn't enough Derek on YT. Derek is literally responsible for many new words and use of the vernacular. Best YT on the planet. Good, genuine, funloving, knowledgeable, hardworking, family man... Bucket list item to pick the brain

As far as I know Jessica is a car gal herself. She is supportive but she also does enjoy going to the events. She generally runs the merchandise tent however before they did that she would always travel with Derek and go racing with him. I think it's been a big part of their lives since they met. Someone tell me of I'm wrong. It's been a while since I watched their question and answer video.

My daughter when she was like 2 or so, called our little neighbor kid "DOOKIE" his name is actually Derek but she couldnt say that very well at her age. All of us laughed and called him Dookie thinking it was cute and figured it was just gonna be a 1 or 2 time thing we would tease him with, NOPE, that was almost 20 years ago and to this day, all of us and even his friends as well as his grandma still call him DOOKIE. He has since married and has 2 young kids now. The youngest one is just starting to speak a little bit and calls him DOOKIE. Anyways, the reason for that kinda long story was because of your "parmeezian" story and the fact that every time i see or talk to any "Derek" i call them DOOKIE in my head! So VGG is DOOKIE in my mind!! HAHA

@Rob-Müller11 ай бұрын
Can't agree more. I have always done my own wrenching. Never wore any sort of gloves/masks. By the time I was forty, I was starting to get some weird skin irritations on my hands and arms. I started wearing gloves at that point and they help a lot. Also wear dust/vapor masks when appropriate. I know old timers that are deaf and saw how that impacts their lives. Taught me to wear ear plugs when required as well. I realize that this may be hard for Derek when making videos, but I wanted to let him know that it wouldn't bother me if he used masks/gloves/ear protection.
