You could see a lil' emotion from a guy when he looked back at that empty garage, his voice even changed a lil'. I can appreciate that.

I passed this rig in Tennessee on my way south! I remember thinking what an odd accumulation of cars lol. Crazy cool!

OMG it's so cute that Bailey is always wanting to be around helpin n learnin with his Dad he loves so much. Sayin "Yep" is his specialty answer to pops.

I love how you include your boy in all this, you can tell how he looks up to you so much, he definitely loves spending time with you.

You and your son remind me of my dad. Enjoy those years man there's no going back. He idolizes you. You're his super hero.

It's nice to see your 1 neighbor seeing you off Waving Bye ,Bye , She seems to know Sign Language too!.

I recently came across your channel while starting my 1980 K10 Stepside project. I don't watch TV much anymore since it's 90% garbage that's including whiney professional sports anymore. Thank you for this show! You show a bunch of quick tips like the garbage bags around the tires to paint rims ect. Your sense of humor cracks me up with your calm combobulation words. I'll be watching you more and more. Good luck with your show! Thanks again!

I drove past this rig while cruising down the ol I-94 on your move day and just about put my going to town rig into the fence because I wildly rubbernecked as if I had just seen Elvis and Jesus playing cards on the side of the freeway! The LED lighting on that rig was STRIKING! I was all excitedty! I'm not sure who that says more about, your channel, or my fanboydom, but either way, I'll always feel a sense of pride having watched you from the beginning. MN (and ND....and WI) will always call you our own. Blessings on your new adventures down south.

18:36 This is not what I'm looking forward to when I eventually move out. I've had many different vehicles in my shop, lots of good and bad memories. Something about closing a shop door for the last time just gets to a guy.

We love our TN home in Williamson county. Welcome. Could not be happier to embrace the Vice Grip family here. Seem like my people.

I used to haul cars across country. I have seen some unique vehicles. But I have to say, your collection is something else. That car haul rig is awesome. You just can't beat the styling of a Peterbilt.

Should have made sure they were all ready to go but probably ran out of time as that trucker would have been on duty time for log book. Love the sound of the Jake Brake when leaving with some good shifting.

Betty White has the tender spot in this fellas heart. I remember seeing VGG for the first time when she was being dug from the mud. I said to my wife, "Look at this guy gonna try to get this old girl going." I was dipped to see he done it.

Goodbyes are always bitter-sweet. You leave wonderful memories behind that make you happy and sad, but you're moving on to a new adventure. Thank you VGG for giving us good memories at the old shop!

Upside of Tennessee: year round old car weather and no road salt! Downside: no more ice drifting 50’s cars. Love the channel man! Keep getting old stuff moving, and sideways!!

Your little one will have the foundation full of knowledge to have his own business so he can have as many trucks,cars, tractor's, motorcycles as his heart desires.What a cutie.Proud parents of 3 young son's I know you old folk's are,lol🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

You can really tell how exited he is. It's so nice to see that he truly loves what he does. But more so, I love that he always has his family apart of what he does. True man right here

Whenever Derek asks his boys if it will run, they always say yes. They know their dad pretty good.

I love seeing Derek with his kids. What a joy. My son and I started a few projects. He started to get his certifications and passed a year ago. He was the talent of our duo! I miss him.

I would love to see a whole Hot Wheels collection of the Vice Grip Garage livery. Especially all loaded up on a sweet car hauler like this one.

Well we'll miss you here in Minnesota wish you the best in Tennessee

That would be an epic moment seeing that rig cruising down the interstate. Good luck to you guys and thanks for the hours of entertainment.

Bentley is the coolest kid. Doesn't say a lot but he hangs around and ready to help when Dad is doing something. I was the same way, always watching my old man work on our cars. My older brother was who-knows-where.

Gotta love the confidence that exudes from these big haul transport drivers- especially the guys hauling the giant excavators and dozers - they all have an "ain't no big thang" attitude. Your precious items are in good hands, good luck on your family's big move.

18:35, that shit hurts, even if you're moving on to bigger and better, the original is hard to walk away from 🤙🤙🤙🍻🍻🍻

Only VGG would hire a $500,000 truck to haul 11 cars worth $150. And that's why VGG is the best channel on KZfaq!

You tube sure has been nice to some super nice people ..... McFarland , this dude , whistling diesel ....so many more

You know a real car guy has made something of himself when a feller can transport all the shiftboxes to the new shop… with fingers crossed on the battrees working.

Great to feel a part of the process.

its hard leaving where it all started, but I'm looking forward to the new shop and seeing it all get put together . 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

I passed this truck on I-94 on my way home from work yesterday (SE Michigan.) I felt like I had to come on here and make a comment. Thanks for doing what you do Derek!

I can’t think of a better family to have some success from youtube and life in general. Keep it up Derek.

First vidjeo a fella ever watched was partly shot in that shop, end of an era. Could just about bring a tear to a glass eye.

All good things come to a end. Unfortunately. But better things lye ahead fortunately. Keep up the great great work Derek. 👍

I work where the car hauler was made in Gainesville Georgia. Its amazing how they are built. A lot of people are required in the manufacture of these beautiful vehicles.

Wow, what a milestone in your journey. I love Bentley, he is so optimistic in every video. I think he is positive that something good will happen, cuz he has all the faith in the World, in his Dad's ability !

Great seeing all them rigs, especially independence!!

Welcome to Tennessee! I love your videos, especially the ones you do with the humans that you're responsible for! I've started to do a restomod on my 72 Chevelle in September 2021, and I'm nearly done with it. I'm disabled so it takes me a while to do things, lol. Anyway, if you know of anyone in our area who does drive shafts, please give me a heads up. I'm in lynchburg, Tn. Moved here from Wisconsin 11 years ago, best move of my life. Keep on, keepin' on. You're a great American, and give me inspiration to keep going!

That was rather interesting. That old Chevy truck fired right up! Gotta love old chevy trucks!!

Ole boy smacking them jakes at the end there. A guys been driving a rig for a minute now. Best sounds ever

That car hauler is quite a sight with all your different rigs on it. Quite a Motley Crue of vehicles

Damn lot of work man. I feel for you and your pocket book.

We’ve enjoyed every minute of every rescue.!!

I got something in my eye when a guy closed that door for the last time. Congrats on the much deserved success Derek! Much respect for doing it the good old fashioned American way.

As a truck driver, the truck was freaking amazing. The sound of the jake brake as it slowed down out of sight was pretty good too. Hurry to Tennessee, sir! You'll be one state away from me then!

This was so cool to watch. The perfect chariot to carry all your awesome hoopties.

I LOVE that you don’t limit yourself to just one brand. Just LOVE watching you help all these great cars live again and just have fun. Old cars and trucks are supposed to be a fun way to spend your time (and money) Great videos!!!

What a nice rig ! Funny seeing all those gems loaded up at the same time. Kinda sad seeing the shop door close for the last time. Looking forward to a bright future in TN, though !

You are a great man. Great family!!.. congrats on 1 million in wks 2 come

The noise of the truck in the background as you closed the video was absolutely perfect! Great job Sir. Be safe!

Welcome to the South Derek! You'all will love it!

Glad to see you hire such a high quality transport, because man the stories you hear when people try to move cars with economic transport companies are just the stuff of nightmares.

Good to see the move happening Derek. You know after watching all your videos in not so chronological order a guy finds himself surely missing out on some parts. I wonder if now is a good time to do one on the VGG history, how and where it started, different locations and such, a timeline kind of sorts. With all the garbage on tv and the internet now days, as an older gent, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your family friendly and family included videos. BW is the greatest! Thank you

Welcome to the South. Vacated NJ for GA 18 years ago. Best decision for the whole family. Wishing many years of prosperity and vehicle resuscitation!

That's my worst nightmare! I can't even imagine packing all my tools away! I have at least 100+ different sets of sockets, wrench sets, and drill bit sets, hole saws, cordless tools and all their accoutrements. I don't even want to look in my garage, it'd take me weeks. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Good luck Derek and family, on your new adventure!

I think you named the Vette when you were sitting in it, "The Situation" LOL!!

Dang, that rig cost more than my house Lots of good memories! Best of luck at the new shop

Its great they are all Gm.👍 And what a way to send off with a nice Jake brake to finish.

Wow, welcome to Tennessee!! Had no idea this was happening!! All the cool folks are coming South. This Nashvillian is proud that I discovered your channel and excited that you have joined us here in the Volunteer State.

The most eclectic load of vehicles that guy has ever hauled!! Perfect!!😎. Welcome to TN y’all!! Glad to have you!

Thanks for sharing one last glimpse of your old Minnesota shop lots of great footage was shot there, a personal favorite is when you did the welcome home burnout way late at night with the 63 buick. And although you may be gone from there your legacy will live on through the noxious vapors of boiled batteries, shine juice and Duplicolor low gloss black that will eminate from the walls for years to come!

i love this video so much. i did take the 68 f500 to the muffler shop recently and drove her on the lift but i have brakes. still needed some skill to driver her up there.

Derek is talented he never tries too hard when it comes to cars, everything just flows

Derek, a suggestion for the new shop. Run two bus bars along the wall connected to an old school battery charger. That way you can have multiple cars connected and on trickle charge. I know that would take a lot of fun out of trying to get the vehicles running, but would negate the need for a battery sponsor. Hope all goes well with the move.

The sickest looking car hauler running down the road.Full load of old school boxes, with the best truck hauling. 👌👌

Just recently found your channel, nice to see a feller from the northern plains doing what I loved to do in my younger years. Lived in MN and WI most of my adult life, but my old bones just couldn't take those 7 month subarctic winters anymore, and made the move to western KY almost a year ago. We miss it a lot, but do enjoy the much milder winters here, but we'll always miss home. Good luck in this new episode of your life, and hope to visit your shop one day, since you're only a couple hours away. All the best to you and yours, my young friend!

Such an eclectic assortment of rides on that rig. People are gonna be scratching their head watching that truck roll down the road. Looking forward to the new shop!

Always loved seeing the Minnesota representation. Good luck in TN.

Glad to see you moving here to Tennessee. Welcome home my friend!

I'M happy to see you're moving on UP man. Glad I ran across this video. I love that Firebird. First one with a six cylinder that I've ever seen. Beautiful car one of my favorites of all time. I was a young man back in the last millennium, and in 1970 I owned a little '67 Firebird - maize/black vinyl top & with a new replacement engine for the 326 c.i.. It had a dealer installed 400 coupled to the TH 400 transmission. Best car ever! I also loved that car hauler. One big beautiful "LARGE CAR," as I did that but only for about 6 months. Good luck in your future endeavors and keep your videos coming. God bless you. 🙏

This was awesome to see all the cars out at one time

Gotta love GM. They all fired up and ran well enough to board the car hauler.

Derek...when u said. GENIOUS...I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF...ABSOLUTELY love your videos..

Last week I embarked on a trip, I would have never wanted to try, just because I watch your channel, I was game take the challenge. Friend and I flew out to Oregon and drove it back to Mississippi. 3000 miles 48 hr drive, in a 88 Pontiac Safari, that had been sitting a 5+ years. Amazing trip and can't wait to try another, run. Quite simple to get running, had a minor overheating issue, but we made it to Summit in Arlington, TX and got a scratch and dent 2 row alum rad and fixed the issue. Needle was stuck in carb, that's all she needed to crank and run. She begged us to drive her home immediately. We named her Ellen Griswold....

As a truck driver, I can read that guy's mind. "This fella should have had all this stuff ready to load before I got here"

That rig is so majestic it brings a tear to a guy's eye.

Derrick is that a twinkle in your eyes,.it's cool when you leave a place that was home to you it hits you hard looking back in them old memories you once had in that Barn Shack you call Carhome.

Here's to making your new place even more friendly and homey than Minnesota. Things have changed a lot in the last couple of years and so we have to find the best way forward with all the most good intentions and hard work we can muster. All the best to you and your fine family. May God bless all your endeavors and may you receive the just desserts of all your sweat and love. Good times on the way.

Safe travels to Tennessee, awesome looking load of rides, take it over a load of new ones anyday... 😀

Can't wait to see the new place come together

Derek. My name is Erik. I too moved from my to TN. Best move ever. I live in alcoa. If ya ever need a hand and your close give a shout. You will love TN. Wait until you don't have to mess with snow or frosty muddy roads

Moving is Always Hard... That's a badass rig. Can't wait to hit the road again myself. Tennessee is beautiful... Thanks for sharing the journey & looking forward to new adventures. 🇺🇲👍🏼 Big fan from PA

Love the kid...at his age I didn't even know how to pump up tires.

I know it’s hard leaving, lots of history, but as a fellow MN’r you’re doing the right thing. Happy travels and move!!

Love the fact that the truck is long gone into the distance and you can still hear it 😮😄

Love that Buick. Two of my dad's cars were 55 and 56 (I think) convertibles. He used to say, if it ain't a convertible, it ain't a car. I'd make allowances for this beauty.

What an amazing truck. Thanks for reminding me why I don't move.

That was a touch emotional when you were talking about the first shop and shutting the door

Load them car’s, I’ve hauled them car before my buddy talk me in to it but did not do it long . Hard job lots of work, well done job well done see ya next time see ya bye bye.

Love seeing Junior go along. Fun times. Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

That semi sounded badass at the end. When you can hear the Jake brake with the truck outta sight that's how you know it's good

Looking forward to having you in Tennessee, hope it's as good to you as it has been to me since I moved here in 1976.

My papaw worked for a company C.A.T (complete auto transit) out of Georgia. He was just a diesel mechanic there, but he’s the one who came up with the concept of the trailer and the company took it and manufactured it.

This is very tutorial. And i mean it. I never seen one of these car haulers loaded. And he could have sold all these cars with out having them hauled easy. So my hats off to you for taking them on your move.

Glad you're moving to the South. People are awesome here. You'll love it. It doesn't get so cold too.

Very cool. One last look at the old garage before we say goodbye. Good luck in new place. Looking forward to all the new videos from there. 👍😎✌️

Your neighbors in the background as the car hauler pulls away all happy you're finally moving. 🧐 😂

Glad to see you getting your move on but bittersweet about you leaving my part of the country. I was just a couple hours south. Best of wishes in the new adventures and we'll be watching.

Welcome to Tennessee!

Still waiting for the Lodge video explaining the move! Love you folks.
