Derek, you never struck me as a man that would be afraid to scratch his rear end. Hope you have a safe and fast sick week.

Derek, you know, it really would be all right with many of us if you were to take some time off and rest up yourself. We've seen you work through having aches and pains and colds and flu and goodness knows what else. You've gone without safety glasses or gloves often, and gotten away with it, mainly. But now, if your back is acting up, I think it's time to rest a week or two. A back is nothing to mess with, and a weak one will cripple you as surely as God made little green apples. You've been putting out a LOT of content at a staggering pace. Back off that loud pedal a mite and take some rest. We'll wait and you'll be a lot better for it.

We just had to put down our 14-year-old cat this morning. Since burying the guy out back I have been watching some VGG to keep my mind from runnin'. He was pitch black with green eyes and looked just like Darrell. Brought a tear to a fellers eye seeing Darrell paying you a visit. Glad to see those cats getting some love, give Darrell an extra good pet for me if ya will.

Best weekend starter ever thought of. Wobble pops and VGG for the win!

I love how Derek humbly uses his super nice Garage like he is still using a low budget 1 car backyard garage, sorta like he hasn't yet realized he moved to an upscale crib. And I love it 😂😂 reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies and I ain't kiddin Fellas and Fellettes 😂😂

Love this guy every Friday i come home from work eat supper and get the ol tablet out and watch the video and relax

Derek is the NO1 no BS KZread car guy. No stupid gimmicks no over-hyped stuff. Just good old reliable Derek and his buddies. Shout out to Volunteer Muffler and performance for helping get the mighty Independence back together she deserves to be back on the road.

It's great seeing how neatly you do wiring and making the sparkolator hoses fit perfectly. The cooling system looks great too.

That’s my dream car😊

Well that's good

I love how you walked us thru all these steps!! These aren’t things I get to see regularly.

It’s coming along nicely!😎👍🏻

Always gotta leave a like when vgg comes on

I can not imagine what it takes to edit a two hour video. But I sure liked that one a couple of weeks ago. There is nothing better than having a couple of wobble pops and unwinding from a long work week with Derrick and VGG. Huge fan!

That Chevelle is looking sweet! I'm learning to appreciate the older cars and trucks since tuning into your channel 3 years ago. Thanks for educating all of us.

My wife knows exactly who Derek is. She knows that I love him and she is okay with that. She called me out about his content and I cannot deny her observation. Derek got his fame from saving cars from an horrible death and we loved it. I even defended his progression in that those saved autos needed some work to be valuable. I even hated on the people saying that they miss the revivals. Now I see that this channel has turned into something different....how to fix cars and make them awesome. Car tuning channels are super common and for the mechanic enthusiast BUT Derek was unique in that he could show up in field with some tools (and not a total rebuild kit) and we loved it! Remember the Betty White? He had no chance to fix that unit and yet he drove it back to MN to have Jessica help clean it? THAT IS A VISION! I enjoy seeing Derek achieve his life goals. I LOVE his family values. I LOVE seeing Little Grip. I LOVE seeing Vice Grip Lodge. I do not enjoy his sidejob to make Roadworthy Rescues. Saving history from deletion should be more of a goal IMO. I enjoy his as a person and how he commentates, but SELFISHLY I want more vehicles saved from the crusher.

I love that car! Thanks for all you do, Derek!

Seems like that back is really hurtin’. Hopefully all will be alright for Sick Week.

Lakewood ladder bars for coil spring cars. Very popular in the 70 &80s. I installed many of them on cars. They were equivalent to the traction bars for leaf spring cars

Just got out of the hospital, this is really nice to come home to… VGG Rocks 🤟🏻
