Derek, this episode was amazing. I was worried your channel would lose some of its edge as it got more popular. If anything, it's more focused and definitely still the same VGG. Also, I'm reminded of how much I love and miss Texas.

I can't believe how professionally it's produced. And the music is always totally appropriate and engaging. The family is just the icing on the cake, because they're all adorable. I give a nod to my son after every episode for introducing me to Derek's channels. Even us older women who don't know anything about cars can really appreciate his remarkable talent!

I also have a 1970 SS Camaro with a 396 numbers matching three speed automatic I have the original build sheet found it underneath the seat when I was putting in a carpet kit, and a 55 Chevy nomad V8 with dealer installed AC super cool car. The sad thing is over the past 20 years I’ve put on about 1500 miles between all three of my cars it’s always been one thing or another busy I started to change the oil take them for a ride around the block but they should be driven sometimes I think they deserve a new owner so that people can enjoy them I’m just not sure what to do. On your original note I think the 340 was one of the coolest strongest nicest small blocks ever made what a powerhouse.

You're a good man Derek, this video warmed my heart. For a young man like you, who tries to portray himself as a scatter brained, ne'er do well, the reality is, you have it figured out. First, you include your family in all that you do, and make it interesting and a learning experience for the young ones. Because of this, I'm confident it will pay benefits down the line, with well rounded, confident young adults, who won't end up being statistics, or homeless, or addicted to opioids, or whatever rotten trend bored kids can find their way into. There's a closeness there that all young families can learn from, every one secure in his/her role, and important to the whole. You have it right by not putting the importance on a 9-5 existence, instead, keeping it interesting and always on an upward learning curve. You have a patient and beautiful wife who shares your interests and lifestyle, and well, basically, you are a very rich man. Money isn't the way to happiness, spending money never bought it, however, it's how you spend the most valuable thing we all have, but few recognize, your time. I'm certain, when you're old, and your hips lock up, the knees and the back's decline can only be measured by some type of protractor, you will be able to look back and say, I wouldn't change a thing; and you will recognize that the love and closeness, inclusiveness, you instilled in your family, will be evident, when their families keep you and your lovely wife a part of their adventures. In all seriousness, God bless you and yours Derek, and continue delighting the world with your unique, good and clean channel!!!

I have to thank you very much for this episode, especially the Space and Air Museum. Many years ago as an 18 year old fella, I went to Davis Montham in Tucson to bid on a WW2 surplus airplane that was up for auction. Saints be dipped, I won the auction. For $500 I got the plane and one hour of gas to find a civilian airport to tank up on my dime. I pulled it off and learned enough to fly jets for the Marines. Long winded story but true and again thank you for the reminiscence.

Love the channel man. Keep it up.

Hey Derek, did you see that nice fellow Brad, at Blind Guy Garage? I don't know if your "Meet Derek" contest winner is CHOSEN by you, or just a random drawing, but I'm sure pulling for this nice, deserving man to win it. Have you seen his video, asking you for his consideration? He has a Squarebody K5 Blazer, 2 Squarebody Suburbans, some other cool old Chevys, and 2 junkyard LS motors. He's legally blind and but has 4 adopted kids and a mower repair business.
