    Thanks guys for covering our journey. Anytime you wanna come hangout at The Block our door is open. Our last building was $13,000 a month. For the record we do not live here 😅 We have stayed at Avenue of the arts hotel for almost 5 years now. We are just car guys wanting to have fun and make epic content. Come on out! Sincerely - Damon

    DDE just makes sense in that building, it was faith with them having to leave their old place. Can't wait for them to complete moving in and organizing events at The Block. And it's not just DDE, it's also Michael Essa closing his shop and moving in with DDE fully committing to the collaboration, I'm stoked to see it, love Mike, Tim and Sean.

    DDE is NOT Hoonigan. DDE is inspired by Hoonigan, specifically Ken Block and the crazy builds he used to swing around closed cities. That's the inspiration Damon has for DDE. Almost as if DDE is the rebel child of Hoonigan in a way, indirectly. Can't compare the two, but they are some of the most entertaining car channels out there. I've been a DDE fan since Damon had 50k followers. Saw their growth all the way. All their peaks and valleys. This trajectory they're on is incredible. So much room for growth now with the new HQ.

I think from now on DDE will be just going up with the Gumball plans and all the relationship they have build with other fellow influencers .DDE will sure bring crazy content from that building. With the addition of Mike, Tim, Sean and Mark its just going to get even more crazier. I am currently addicted to their channel and love what they are doing .Love the boys hope they get more success these coming years!!!

    Mad respect to Damon and Dave, it is a big step-up. It almost seemed like they were starting to grow the team, not much different from Hooigan or Donut where there are different "characters" that can be doing videos. Mike is an amazing addition to the team and I am excited to see what the future of the channel becomes. Damon dreamt of Hooning supercars after watching Ken, and they are building some crazy cars to do it in, so I hope they can live up to the amazing production Ken had with his videos. RIP Ken.

    Damon is a marketing genius. He fully understands what people want by listening to them. Dave is really business savvy. Damon knew driving video's can only get you so far. Also burying old beefs was a strong move. Watching and learning from the Gumball Rallies doing worldwide events brought new people. Getting the Block was a brilliant idea and perfect timing. We will see less n less of Damon and dave but the channel won't skip a beat because it will always feel like those two are always there.

    If DDE renovate the space correctly and utilise the space with a destination merch store,event space etc. this move can take them to the next level. Also on the point about Damon and Dave being on the channel, this move will in time bring more employees etc , more content. I think eventually you could have a dedicated SHOP channel. Mike, sean and Tim have already shown they can carry the channel with the same view numbers for mikes build series. Mike joining DDE was ready the turning point. They had the vision a long time ago with bringing dean and race team into the mix but it couldn’t work out as the race team is a full time commitment in itself. Mike is an incredible driver and mechanic so he c an teach and do the racing part and build and fab crazy cars! His version of the Ferrari is gonna blow the Aronn version out the water.

    I stopped watching James honestly because of his videos about being broke then buys another then repeats the same process. Don't get me wrong I like James but yeah his video were the same

    Cut James some slack guys, he's a one man operation and has paid his dues in spades. Sure his videos might not be as fast pasted as DDE but you have to respect his grind and what he has accomplished.

    This was a recommend video of a dde video…. I’ve followed them for a long time and Ken is the whole inspiration behind dde and the channel but with the hype of it being an expensive super car ripping it ….. it’s a massive investment and such a smart place for them to keep Ken’s legend alive as a homage to the great tyre slayer Ken block

    Its pretty sweet so see this kind of content continue, Its tough sometimes when there is a shift and there isn't another group to capture the vibe and keep it going In this case DDE has been doing a great job of keeping that feeling alive and making the viewer feel a part of that transition.

    I watch both DDE and TJ on a daily basis. What they do is my dream as in my spare time I look for cars online and do dream buildouts on them on my computer. I’ve literally modified ever car I’ve ever owned and I’m almost 38 but unfortunately I was injured in an accident thanksgiving ‘22 and can’t work on cars anymore. Glad I was able to do all the work I’ve done to all my vehicles but especially having had the most modified and custom 1 off parts for my jeep (15k just in mods) a few years back. I’ll always have a passion for cars.

    I think Hoonigan is going the similar way of the DC brand. It used to be a cool smaller hip specialty brand....but then it got too big and you started seeing it in places like costco and Walmart and then eventually fizzled away.

    Loving the new DDE HQ, Hopefully they can get it built up quickly enough so we can see there vision of what they have planned. With the big builds they are planning on doing they are ordering parts now, so when they are ready to start the builds they have the parts ready, as thats what has slowed down the F12 build is waiting on custom parts.

    When and if Damon and Dave leave has been something on my mind because they obviously can’t keep doing it their whole life but they can still be apart of it. But who knows maybe they will keep doing what they do best and keep grinding till they can’t physically do it anymore.
