This is it guys. Just wanted to TRY and let you guys know where I was coming from. Many might agree, many may not but it is what it is at this point. There’s TOO MUCH information I wasn’t able to cram in or forgot to express but trust me on this. I feel like I did the right thing OVERALL. Love yall man see you next week 🤝🏼 SURPRISING MY FRIENDS WITH MY NEW MACH 1 MUSTANG!! 🤯 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5iJZ9hyyKvGonU.html

My best suggestion is that since it was the daughter's actions that caused the damages to the paint, you should offer the dad to have her get a fast food/retail job to pay off the damages she did. She has a whole summer, so she could work 30+ hours a week to pay it off. It would be a good life lesson for her to pay for her actions. Edit: to the responders saying that she is young or in school. I’m 19, not in high school like she is. My classes are way harder in college, and when I was in high school, I had a part-time job and worked full-time in the summer. She is studying for finals in this vid, so she is about to have 2 months of free time which is more than enough time to get a job working in a grocery store or in a sit-down or fast food restaurant, so I don’t wanna see anymore boohoos about her not needing to work because of age. Also, to those who think her summer free time will be taken from her, oh well. Its called being responsible and handling your problems especially if you caused them. If she hadn’t thrown an egg at a car, then she wouldn’t have to lose some of her summer break free time(if the parents had made her get a job)

I would have been more angry that Ford's paint can't even withstand an egg. Must have been cage free.

You showed mercy to someone who’s life could have instantly been changed. The whole families life for that matter. Honestly that’s some next level respect..

Mad respect to you man. You handled that bad situation like a pro. I am glad to know there are still good people like us in existence.

The father sounds a hell of a lot better then his kid. Hope she learned something from her actions and thinks about not doing something stupid again. You on the other hand are the kind of people that this world needs more of..

I applaud you for the way you've handled the entire situation. Your compassion is a trait that is greatly missing in today's society. The world could definitely use more like you. Bravo, man!

17 years old is old enough to get a part time job and pay you herself instead of her dad or brother covering her mistake. That would teach her a real life lesson and show she can’t just throw a fit and have it fixed by others or get away with it. She just got off free. She learned absolutely nothing except crying gets me out of trouble

The way you handled this is really honorable. you didn’t let them get away with it but didn’t get mad at them. Real role model stuff

You’re a stand up guy bro. That’s a true statement of compassion that this world is missing I salute you my friend.

I've always thought you are mature beyond your years. Compassion is something sadly lacking in many people these days, but you have it in abundance. You're a good man, Derek, don't ever change.

Absolutely earned yourself another subscriber you handled that better than almost anyone I know would have. really a stand up thing to do really amazing to see there’s still good peoples out there your an amazing dude I hope the girl learned a lesson

It's always a story worth sharing when all parties involved can be proper adults and walk away with respect. Great job. Nice rides. And congrats on your partnership. Well done!

That was the devil testing you my bro. You didn't fall for it. I agree 100%. You worked WAY too damn hard to allow this situation to reverse your momentum. Been following you for years and the way you handled this situation is exactly why I stay subscribed. Respect man 💯

I just subscribed to your channel because of how you handled this situation. Like others have said, your compassion is over the top and the world could use more people like you.

Good for you dude! I hope amazing things keep happening to you, such an uplifting video, i think most people and relate and have been on both sides of this predicament and i think you handled it like an adult should! Keep up the good work!

You're a good man for doing what you did for that family. I love seeing people put themselves behind to make sure people having a hard time. You really are an amazing human being.

Bro I just ran across your channel today. After hearing this and what you did I can’t help but to subscribe to your channel. With the way the world is today and how angry people are, you showed compassion and empathy. Even though you had every right to file charges and make them pay you took the Godly road. You will forever be blessed because you didn’t step on somebody who was already down. I can’t do nothing but respect that and celebrate you homie. You definitely gained a subscriber in me and will be watching your videos so keep them coming. I will make sure to go back and watch your older videos also 💪🏾

ay bro. i paused the video at 11:00 to just come share my opinion. obviously, it sucks that you end up having to pay most of the repairs. but, i have so much respect for you for doing that. life is hard and you never know what people are going through. i find it awesome that you were able to see their situation and understand that you can bless them by accepting his offer. it shows the kind of character you have and that at the end of the day its not about money its about doing the right thing. God bless you bro ❤

You're a good guy Derek. Keep up the good work and let this be a learning experience for all parties involved.

During these hard times for so many families, you are a truly good young man. I know it wasn't an easy decision, but you did the right thing for that dad and his family.

When I was telling my son about your video I actually said to him that I felt you handled the situation very well. I didn’t feel you yelled at all. I commend you, great job

That was an expensive egg wasn’t it? Hope she grows from this and learns to respect the property of others and that her actions can affect others and her family.

New to the Mustang community and stumbled across your channel. Great content and wow how humbly and calmy you handled the situation with your neighbors. Earned a sub. Keep it up man.

Your a great guy bud, a stand up guy. Just glad that your car is getting fixed, so sorry that you had to go through this. From a mustang guy to an other, you are family. I cant wait until you hit a million subscribers

A blessing in disguise. Great work. You are and will continue to be blessed after such an altercation and doing what you did. Mad props.

Stay Blessed Man! Its so hard not to take revenge and make that families situation from bad to worst, but I commend you on how you handled the situation.

Respect to you Dereck. I just found your channel yesterday and watched the videos about the Mach 1 incident. Your message resonated with me and you now have another subscriber. Keep up the good work.

I agree with everything you did, especially not having it painted and re-stickered, it never would have looked as good as factory, I’m happy to see you make so many great decisions at your age..you’re a very respectable and moral individual, and will be making sure I’m watching and liking every video you upload from now on..

Hey Derek, i’ve been watching your videos for the past 6 years ever since redo blue back when I wanted an sn95, now I have a 2014 GT ruby red, thanks to your content. It really is nice to see someone I completely don’t know. Do good at life and progress like you have.

I watch you on Roku so I don't comment...but I had to pick up my phone and give you the kudos you deserve...You young man (I'm 72) are a light in this darkness surrounding us. Your heart and integrity gave me a lift. I thank you.

Man Dude you are the man. Wow. That made my day. Wow. God bless you. I have bad days and just watching your vids all these years has helped me. Thanks much

What a roller-coaster of information! Glad things got worked out, and you ended up with an awesome partnership.

Always tell myself whenever something bad happens. “Everything happens for a reason” in my opinion, you did the right thing and I can appreciate you for that. Mistakes happen. If that happened to me, I’d be mad but I can’t but someone in a deep hole trying to support their family at a young age. Yes, she’s 17 and should have common sense but, it’s a learning lesson.

1st time viewer and will now follow. Outstanding. Thank your folks cause they did well. God bless

As a felon I'll commend you for being kind enough to consider not ruining her life,not to mention handling the situation the way you did! You were a lot nicer then I think I could've been.

I know everyone has a opinion and that’s fair but the way you handled this in the end got my attention. You showed real heart and compassion in the face of getting vandalized and you earned my respect with the way you handle yourself and my subscription. I know it probably doesn’t mean much but people can be really shitty these days and there isn’t many like you out there. Keep up the hard work and I hope god continues to bless you and your family. You are a good person and it shows. I’m glad I found your channel. 👍✌️

The way you handled the situation has gained you a new subscriber. So nice too see a levelheaded KZfaqr in the car community. Definitely looking forward to watching more of your content!

Salute to you man. Showing strength through compassion is no easy feat. Have a blessed one.

I owned a body shop and been restoring classic to, my man U did the right thing by touching it up u wouldn’t be happy with painting the car .painters come close but can never match that OEM paint . Happy to hear it worked out …

Props to you man takes a lot to show sympathy like that. Not many would give them the break you did.

Good stuff man. Definitely earned a subscriber

Bravo sir! Really went above and beyond. Keep it up bro 🤙

Congrats on the repairs! Don't ever be ashamed about doing acts of kindness! You can always hold your head up high when it feels right in your heart! Keep it up brother..

Sometimes the worst things can turn into great things.. at least you have a relationship with your neighbors where there’s a basic understanding of respect

Derek, that feeling in your heart is a love for humanity. You’re a good man! Hope things get better for the neighbors.

Proud of how you handled this all around . You know mom & dad are pretty happy! I was thinking retaliation thoughts😢 Thanks for reminding me to always be grateful ❤

Loved your video bro! I agree 100%. Im a car guy myself and i know what it takes to pay for your own property. Straight up props to you for having so much patience and self control! You are a genuine inspiration to me. Thank you for your video!

I'm really glad you decided to help that struggling dad for a dumb decision his "kid" made. Honestly, any financial/legal action you could've taken on them would have been 100% justifiable. I'll keep your message i picked up today at heart, and if i ever come across a similar situation, I'll definitely keep an open considerate mind. Much love from Texas

Just saw your first vid and it was the egg 🥚 video then I’m seeing this one and I like the way you think and hold yourself not many car KZfaqrs seem like real people but you do finna start watching you since I been binge watching you vids all day !!

i subscribed cause from this video alone i can see we are similar with cars and ur decision making. you seem like a great person cant wait to watch more

Wow I’m really impressed on how you handled this situation. You are a stand-up dude and showed more maturity than most people your age. God is good!

I literally subscribed because of your choices with the heart. Many, many, many people make decisions on what they can benefit from at that moment, but knowing it'll eat you from the inside out in the long run...Let alone, it'll affect you're genuine character...If you would have taken the other approach...Props my guy. I just got my first $60k+ truck. Just blessed man. Knowing how I grew up and finally being able to do something like this for myself, and then having someone make a bad decision which ultimately led to you having to take a fault on it. You are a true individual. Always check your facts. Prep for the worst. Accept the facts. Act on your intentions. Good for you! I agree with someone who dropped the comment earlier about the devil testing you. Life has its challenges but the fact that you flipped a negative into a positive. Dope. Entrepreneur ish right there. Keep producing. Keep pushing out genuine content. Love it my guy. People who are disagreeing with your decision really haven't had that one (or multiple) true thing(s) come into their life where they can see with clarity. Hopeful they will in the future. It's the hope the world needs right now. That young woman will for sure learn her lesson but will pass on this "break" to the next individual who does something to her or her belongings. and so forth.

New subscriber. Thats cool dude. You went with your heart. Keep rolling like that. You will be blessed.

Very nice video and you have another subscriber as well. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.

If you’re in the fortunate position of having more than you need, build a longer table, not a taller fence ❤ well done my man. What you did shows strength of character and compassion. Don’t stop being you.

Good for you Derek. You made light out of a bad situation. People need to see this for what it is. People make mistakes & hopefully that young girl learns from it.

Earned yourself another sub, awesome attitude 👊🏽

amazing man!!! keep that stance,world needs more ppl like u!👏

You handled it right with compassion for the little brat. Whether she learns a lesson or not is up to her.

DBP SQUAD 🔥 check in !

ur a good dude man... im glad these were the first few videos i saw of yours

thanks, this was just what I needed.

Big ups to you man id be pissed having to drop $2000 but you are grateful for what you got bro and thats why good things come your way

It always takes the bigger person to change a bad situation, total thumbs up on your character 👍👍👍

Good for you! To help out your fellow man is a blessing. I am sure you will be repaid in ways you can never imagine!

Speaking to the "working hard to be able to afford something" point. People give KZfaqrs crap for not "really" working for their money. All I say is TRY IT! Try to make weekly content that people actually want to watch, and advertisers want to be associated with. Not just for a month. For a year. Good luck. I have so much respect the KZfaq grind. This format is the future of entertainment. Thank you Derek for putting yourself out there.

You definitely did the right thing. This shows how much of a stand up guy you are. Not draining the family of their money is another big thing. You have become one of my favorite KZfaqrs by far. I mean it’s a dream to be where you are at with a boosted s197, which I have, just not a v8. You are honestly very inspiring.

Hey Derek I know this is off topic from the situation though but your videos give me motivation to believe I will get a Mach 1 one day

Great way to handle this situation. I can appreciate your approach as a parent myself.

First time I've seen your videos if you are very understanding young man great job

This is a wonderful story! There's people who would use this as a way to screw people over! I hope the 17 year old girl learned from this ! It's nice to hear something good and positive. For the father I hope he has found work that he can be proud of! Being jobless sucks it can be the lowest point in someone's life ! Although the girl caused damage to your vehicle you chose to have a heart I hope other people who watch your video are inspired! It made me smile!

These are the only 2 videos of yours I've seen but I will say well done young man. New sub

You handled the whole situation very maturely and I am proud. Quite honestly if I heard about their situation and their struggles and I had no doubt the father was lying I don’t know if I could take any money at all from them. I know it’s easier said than done being in a position where it’s not my vehicle but my heart just couldn’t take it. Back in 2017 I had purchased a brand new 2017 Mustang GT. Some asshole scraped my new white car while it was parked with his pos green honda accord with bent fenders and bumpers. He completely got away with it and I never got him while all I got was chipped paint and green scratches all along my fender. These things happen and people are fucking assholes but I think what truly matters are your own actions and not what others do to you. I would’ve gave back that money just bc providing for a family is hard but that’s only what I would do. Congrats on the new mustang Derek you deserved it and thank you for handling it without escalation.

You're a better man than most. I'm subscribing and look forward to more videos, all my best brother.

Watched the original video yesterday, seen the update today. I am now going to subscribe now, you are the embodiment of the an upstanding good citizen.

You’re a good man bro, you just gained another level of my respect 🙏🏽not everybody is grown but you just proved yourself

You handled it like a champ

I applaud you for being the bigger person yet holding them accountable to some extent. Life is tuff, but we all have to be accountable. Dad should make his daughter work it off during her summer break.

You were brought up to respect, and you sir are a very generous and forgiving person. Good on ya mate!

Just subbed to you last week man, best choice ever. I’m not gonna lie I wasn’t sure at first because you seemed a little intimidating at first but dang man you’re so kind and you deserve the world.I’m foreign as well, and what they did is not excusable, however how you dealt with it and how sympathetic you are… props. You’re gonna go far man this is just the beginning

You did the right thing…it doesn’t matter what others say or think. You have to listen to what God asks you to do, and it seems like you did. He will bless you for this! Thank you for being an example of a compassionate human being. The world needs more of this.

When I was 16, I did something very similar. Me and a couple of my friends were being 16 year old idiots and threw eggs at a really cool custom rod parked in a driveway. We got caught and the owner was super pissed, but showed a lot of the same compassion you did to that girl. Fortunately, the eggs caused no damage, but our punishment was that we were given buckets of soapy water, sponges and towels and had to clean the car from top to bottom that night. We were up until about 3AM and had to call our parents to explain why we were out so late. Never threw another egg.

May God Reward and Bless you even further Bro. Your a great example of more people we need out here in society. May God continue to reward you multiple folds. Keep it up, the great work.

Hopefully she will have to work off the damage she did to your car and repay her parents! You have such a generous spirit, shows a true man of God!

Respect for being compassionate to them man. Tbh if you wanted the kid to learn a life lesson should’ve made a deal with the parents to have her wash the car every weekend. Teach her how to clean it properly which gives her a life skill and also makes her do some form of service as a lesson of consequences for her actions.

I had my brand new van vandalized about 2 months ago. The van cost me 100 g. I was in the van while the man was damaging my van. He went to the hospital before jail. Your a better man than me for staying calm. That dad would have been punched in the mouth. Good on you for staying calm.

The way you handled it went so much further ! Nothing but good things will come back to you for being a good person . ❤

I'm glad it all got worked out. Great video. That family will be in my prayers.

Props to you for showing some sympathy for the family. I know for SURE I would have been pissed too but I also would hate for a struggling family to have to fix the mistake of an immature kid. Props

The first cut is the deepest esp. this is a day old Mach 1. My cars been egged before, it doesn't matter what kind - it hurts my feeling and the paint damage was substantial. You're correct, those who disagreen have been spoonfed! I admire this young man handling the situation to the end, mad props to you, brother!

awesome video!

That's crazy that you let him go from paying the additional $2000 for the damages and only charged him $1000. That was way too kind hearted for you to do that ain't gonna lie

You didn’t teach that girl a life lesson. She will continue to act this way and know she can get away with it. Can we block that 5 % of people that don’t understand what she did.

Good job man

You are a good man bro. Grettings from Puerto Rico!! Sick Ride!!!

Should have pressed charges. This is exactly why people like her do what they do cuz nobody holds them responsible. SMDH

Derek my brother is an engineer at mahle motorsports and they are looking for a engineering manager in the piston design Motorsport. Let that dad know. They would have to move to Asheville NC.

Just ran across this video. Went back and saw the prior video of the incident. You have a new subscriber. Very honorable.

After watching your video man. You hit so many hardcore heart strings. You're an amazing individual and can't wait to see more of your content.
