Hard not to love Derek. One of the best on youtube.

[BraceDeville]

Derek is such a great person for these shows. Whatever you are paying him isn't nearly enough.

If you want Derek's following and the likes and views that come with his presence then don't cut that man short. He's got a million followers literally and you could have them all motor trend just do right by them and Derek and not cut him short.

Love vice grip garage was a little disappointed when he went to motortrend, but glad he is still keeping his original content on his channel. Motortrend has a way to ruining good shows. Hope they don't mess up Derek's YouTube greatness.

Been a while since I watched Derek do this with so many tools. Air tools, skid loader, torch, matching tires, correct a guy think I could do this :)

VGG Derek is classic! Best idioms, great teacher, better dad!! Glad to see him here.

I can watch this show all day and I have

Haven't been on mt channel since old road kill, but gotta say I can't help but come back for my guy Derek

[timothyisham]

My favorite show! When it's old torn down beat up a heap of trash. It only takes dedication determination and vision to restore anew to make it roadworthy again...He has great commentary too!

[bolddave]

These videos are way...way...too short. This man has taught me about cars and figuring out basics by his humorous way of doing things. He makes understanding engines and its operational means easy and you also learn about the cars history at the same time. Wish my teachers had this unique way of teaching, and i would have gone into a different field of work. I dont know... I dont know. But once i had to fix my own vehicle i just did it and was "ill be dipped". Lol

[StabilityMan]

Derek on MotorTrend? Well I'll be dipped! I can't believe it, but i have to. I'm lookin' right at it! 👀

[bentaylor]

What a life he has built for himself and his family. No doubt that he grafts extremely hard, but he deserves all the fortune that comes his way. An inspiration to many.

Always enjoyable watching Derek work! thats

[ramiretz]

Derek is the best please don't cut this so short, his personality and his jokes are so unique, hes like the Bob Ross of the Automobile World, if you have a bad day simply watch some ViceGripGarage with Derek and you calm down and smile again 🙂

[scottytissue]

Oh man looks like a guy might be hittin the big time. Been following Derek for years now and it's about time TV actually found one of the best personalities possible for car vids.

[PatrickLawrence]

Glad to see Derek as a feature here on MotorTrend. I just hope that these guys get that VGG's 1millions plus followers watch every video because we love Derek, "because the way that he is".
