I keep waiting for him to start reviving the building and explaining each step, cutting corners slightly and at the end driving the building home 900 miles.

A guy didn't even know this channel existed. So stoked for this.

The room goes dark, Derek can’t see a thing but when his phone says “gps signal lost” followed by “oh great” 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like it could clean up real nice and be an awesome “world headquarters” for VGG. A couple air fresheners should do it.

A feller almost launched out of his chair when your phone yelled GPS signal lost 🤣🤣

Derek deserves our utmost respect. I recently learned that his new home was broken into while he was away filming for his KZfaq channel and that just hurts my heart. Knowing that he is a loving family man who also provides the content that his viewers love to consume it strikes me as completely absurd when others want to take advantage and jeopardize the normal life of a normal person like this. He has brought so many laughter and a lot of great learning tools and lessons throughout his short span on KZfaq and I can only thank him and his family for that. Just rest assured Derek that we have your back and we appreciate the content you create and how you incorporate your family and your sense of humor which makes us all laugh and get through our days when we're facing something that's extremely difficult We recite one of your quoted lines and everything is better. Love you man. ( By the way you should definitely link up with demo ranch for some type of car / range day!) I think you would enjoy it and we would all love to see it! Keep on keeping on, and if you can tell by the way this is, it is this way because of the way it is!

A guy knows there's no power but still has to try every lights switch. Lol

“Pretty sure I just heard mumbling” So a guy did the right thing and turned his back to it and kept walking like it never happened.

Judging by the writing on the walls I'm thinking a fellow may not want to go exploring inside old places like this without his 2 best friends...Smith&Wesson

*Puts out new channel* "Yeah guys it's gonna be a little bit of this, little bit of that, but first were diving right into the deep end of horror with this video." "Alright today guys im going to see if I can get this building up and running and drive it 500 miles home."

Looks like the Blair grip project

If someone answered you one of those times you said “Hello” I’m thinking you would have needed to change your laundry 🤣🤣🤣

Glad this popped up in my recommended feed.. A guy shoulda dropped a plug in his other vids about this channel lol. I like it

Lower budget than the Blair witch project but wayyyy more scarier. Perfect.

I absolutely love your Words. Super descriptive, I love alternate descriptives. Exploring or Wrenching, I like it. Thanks man!

Seems like a feller should have at least had his Tonya Harding for back up

If I ever hear a story about a sasquatch sighting in an abandoned dealership I'll know where it originated.

I bet it's haunted, many peoples wallets died there I'm sure.

Derek, thanks for combining two of my favorite things to watch on KZfaq; you and scary, abandoned places. Totally creepy!!!

It a shame people got destroy a place like that. No respect for other property.

He called the eyewash station an “eyeball eraser”. That was a good one. Love it!

The spookiest part was when Derek says "HELLO". I just didn't want to hear anyone answer back.

Never knew a feller could have so much fun watching a video of pitch black, but then anything Derek does is fun! Love your new channel and content.

I'm glad a guy brought this vidja back. I remember watching it on VGG and the live show commentary about how people complained on a feller.

When I saw Vice Grip Lodge I thought it was a cheesy Chinese web grab but was pleased to see Derek’s smiling face when I clicked on it. Love to see some other content from my favorite car fixer upper.

I feel like Jessica is going to be mad when she sees this LOL,

I remember seeing this one on the main channel Derek. It was scarey then and it still is.😁 From what folks are saying, the place was demolished just recently; seems like such a waste. It must have been quite the place in it's day. Good luck to both of you with the new channel. Nearly 100k already, without an official launch, seems like a good omen.👍👌😁 Cheers for now, Dougie.

Legend has it if you shut off the light and say “sale now on” 3 times, the ghost of the sales manager appears and offers you a discount on a 84 Chrysler new yorker

Hear me out now... a mod for resident evil where ethan's dialogue is all changed with Derek's.

It's sad that people have to tear stuff up.

Thanks for sharing! Great video as always.

Urbex is awesome! Lots of really cool stuff to see! Just be careful. I've done quite a few explorations, and you really have to watch every step. You don't want to get hurt and stranded in some place when you're alone. Have fun, but treat these places with respect. They can hurt you before you know what's happening!

Have to say I also watch “The proper people’s” abandoned places exploring channel and truly felt the uneasy feeling of doing it in the dark alone with nothing but your cell phone light. An unexpected watch on a long forth of July weekend. Truly enjoyed it, Thank Captain Vice 😎

I never knew I needed a Halloween Special of VGG.

Neat. I follow a couple of other "urban exploration" chanels, and I always have fun guessing what the purpose remains of equipment found on the walls used to serve when it was a working facility. I would guess that those steep drops from the second floor were probably vent trunks from the old HVAC system before the scrappers pulled it out of there, and the pits on the first floor were probably where the old-style hydraulic vehicle lifts used to live in the service bays. A guy does have to watch his step, though.

Looks a whole lot like the old Chevrolet dealership out on Hwy 10 in Elk River!

The pile of clothes makes me think someone is staying in there. I wonder if he or she was laying low while he walked around waiting for the coast to be clear? More creepy to think someone may have been watching.

THAT was SCARY AS HELL to watch, derek! You've got more guts than me... mostly cuz I was freaked about the idea of meeting up with whoever is clearly living in there currently.

Wow what a great set up to a monster movie! I stumbled across this channel because of the recommended Ford factory episode. Well short story long, one video lead to all VGG. You're a natural. I will not be surprised if your son's will be the next Write brothers

Friend of mine's family owned a Chrysler dealership in the 50s and we go exploring back there all the time. Lots of cool stuff to be found, lots of old tools. They haven't even opened the storage units yet, and they think there might be cars in there.

What that place needs is some poorly dressed mannequins placed throughout the whole facility.

Sneaking around that place is how it feels to be sneaking downstairs to get food at zero dark 30.

Bro, you need a small LED tactical light as part of your EDC! For some reason I thought you always carried one. If not, it's a good idea. I don't leave home without two because one is none and two are one. Clint Smith said that. Even at home I carry a light because whenever I drop something it always goes where I need a light. Like under the workbench in the garage or under the hutch in the kitchen. I'm also never without a knife with a pocket clip. I can't begin to tell you how many times a day I use that! BTW: I've been a long-time follower and I just subbed to your new channel. Keep up the good work, Brother!

Love this. Does remind me of that abandoned AMC dealership in Kentucky or tennesse. Right on thebstate lines.

I would love to see Derek do a ghost hunt 😂 his reactions would be absolutely priceless!

Just imagine having all that space for project vehicle storage and working space instead of it going to hell like it is.

My goodness he has a brave soul- if I’d been there and my phone said “gps signal lost” I woulda been outta there before a feller can start counting-

Just makes me so mad to see the damage vandals inflict on places.

Love getting in on the "ground floor" of this deal :)

Judging by a lot of the comments, there's a lot of new subscribers. This is actually an episode of VGG from two or three years ago.

13:20 Imagine if someone did respond? "Well howdy, there partner. What's happening?" 😂

I saw "Vice Grip Lodge" and was like, "Some sumbeeya stole..." then I saw it was you hahahaha

VGG meets The Proper People I’m down for this. Definitely need a torch next time.

It's really too bad people have to vandalize a place. When watching these and old car restorations I think to myself.....at one time this was brand new...as for buildings they used to be bustling businesses....for cars they used to be brand new on the showroom floor....just like here!

I remember when that dealership was built in ER MN. Scary tour for sure, I was waiting for someone to answer when you'd say hello.

There used to be an old abandoned meat packing plant, aka slaughterhouse, that we always explored as kids. All kinds of drop offs and holes to watch out for. There was a door that must have been missing a staircase. If you went through without watching where you were going it was a 20 foot drop. The place had been on fire several times throughout the years before it finally burned to the ground. I believe it we called the Peat Packing Plant.

This week on Top G... I mean Vice Grip, Derrick says "hello?" in the dark, Siri says "GPS SIGNAL LOST!" and I have a little bit of wee come out. Anyway... back to the studio.

This is awesome. Thanks for bringing us along. Keep up the great work VGG Family

That was just torn down about a week ago… if that’s the place in elk river… I believe it was called Saxon motors.

18:15 "Okay that might have been a body, I'm gonna head on out now that I think of it"

This is my new favourite horror genre. "A Feller Explores"

Woo hoo! More Derek and urban exploring! Win! I don't know if you carry in places like that, but you better believe I would be.

I remember this. He posted it a while back on his main channel! Glad to see it's reuploaded here

thanks for taking us along

Just when a feller doesn't think the day could get gooder, we got more vgg. I do enjoy creepy exploring and ya nailed the background music.👍🇺🇸

Wow that was definitely a creepy place. I'd make sure in the future to have a buddy with you and definitely have a flashlight handy. That part with the mumbling, I don't think I heard it but that was definitely a creepy vibe especially with you just staring into blackness. A reason to have someone with you and a flashlight handy. Exploring abandoned places like this can be hazardous and not seeing where you are walking can be a big problem. Plus with a buddy if there was someone there they could be dangerous and can have a weapon like a gun so yeah. Definitely scarier than seeing you drive an old rig with no brakes and 50 year old rotting tires on the highway.

I know this place, I've day dreamed about turning it into the ultimate Car Enthusiasts garage. Rent lifts to guys for projects, car meets, etc. A guy just needs to win the random number game to afford it.

17:28 is lyrics from a group called “Shoreline Mafia” and its as terrible as you might imagine.

Reminds me of the years i spent inspecting foreclosed HUD homes in the ghettos. Never a dull moment.

Definitely a creepy place, didn’t seem to be that old of a building either.

Really impressed you knew what a d-marc was!!! Well done neighbor!! Enjoy your videos!! 👍🏻

Love the new channel, Derek, so I've already subscribed. Keep pokin' around but at least bring some matches next time.......lol.

Plot twist. Derek just bought this building! LOL

This one freaked me out when it came out last year and still it's a creepy one! KZfaq suggested the fencing video, so words getting out already!!

Enjoy your restoration of the past. This video made me a little sad to realize just how much money must have been spent to build this building/dealership, probably not that long ago, and how quickly it is left to ruin. Thanks for what you do to salvage the past.

Thank you for sharing!

Right around the 430 mark, I would shooby doobied the hell outta there.

Ya know the fact that the guy went in there and just kept going without so much as blinking proves a lot about this guy.

“GPS signal lost” “Oh great!” Hilarious haha.

Reminds me of exploring an old Childrens Hospital in St. Paul that was vacant for years in the 80s, It treated kids during Polio. So was super creepy. Old gurneys etc

Never knew a feller had a 2nd channel. Pretty nifty!

"Well thank you for stopping at The Blair Witch Auto Emporium and Ritual Killing Center!! Next time bring the kids, were having a bloodbath poster contest!"

No matter what you do is entertaining and it’s you and your personality

New channel? No context just yet? Subscribed!

This is the kinda stuff I explore near me, old mine ruins and abandon factories. Neat history is always uncovered. I always geek out at old railroad junk too.

Something very creepy and sad about abandoned car dealerships. Imagine how busy and noisy they were in their heyday. A guy did a good job with his Cellphone 200 flashlight!

Dude! I love this channel!

This is such a fantastic fusion of my KZfaq interests!

The best part about that place is the sign out front that say "we'll be here" 😂🤣

Who wouldn’t want more of this feller and family, excellente 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It's Vice Grip Garage meets "The Blair Witch Project." I both really enjoyed this---and envied Derek. :) :)

Abandoned Dealerships are AWESOME! I got those vids of an old dealership full of old Pontiacs and Caddy's and wagons and everything

I can finally say I got in on the ground floor of an awesome channel. I can't wait to see the VGG spin on non-automotive aspects of life!

I used to do some abandon house photography, one day I was in an old farm house. I went up the stairs to have a peek in the bedrooms and one bedroom in particular still had clothes handing in the closet, a made bed and a night stand with an unbroken lamp. Creeped me out like no ones business!!

I worked there as a car detailer back in 2006. The air compressors where upstairs. The door you made it into the building was the car wash next bay was detail bay. Next was body shop and there was an area there for the office for the body shop. As you worked your way further the parts department was next, then the service department, where you saw the spot by the big door with all the door openers that was for the service department head mechanic guy that sat at a desk. When you made your way upstairs from there the first room directly in front of stairs was warrenty return parts next room was a break room. There was a decent bathroom up there and that slinked around to the air compressors if I remember correctly, then it went to offices and a massive storage above detail department

VGG meets Ghost Hunters ! Cracked me up the way he keeps saying Hello?! Was just waiting for the phone battery to die and lose his light!

Joined up from MS, really appreciate your content buddy. You got me all fired up and drug out my old '78 Ford out of the weeds and shined on it a bit recently. Red and White job, you may have seen (I doubt it) us unload it off the trailer by dead-manning it to a parking stop and driving the trailer out from under it! Tagged you on intagram when we did it, thought it might have given you a chuckle. I appreciate your content efforts. Really good entertainment and inspiration to do a few things. If you ever need anything in North Miss feel free to give us a holler.

I'll be dipped! Another channel!! 👍

If you had the money you could buy that & put all your vehicles in it after you get it fixed back up & the walls repainted & glass replaced,store your vehicles in the winter & display them when the weather is nice outside

Well Derek I love the new spin off, am allready subscribed to a channel called the bearded explorer lol. Love the fencing one also thanks. And the ride on one..... In fact all of them thanks.
