Nothing but love fam! Life is all about the ebb and flow, thankful y’all keep pushing through. I know I look forward to all the videos no matter what they are about. Rad just seeing cool people live their life and have fun while sharing the good times.
u guys are the best car youtubers and its not even close. i would like strad a lot more if he didnt buy dumb cars (not including the egg, cuz thats dope) and also the fact that strad only posts like once a week. To his defence he doesnt have the editing power that DDE has but idk man. STrad is just kind of cringe. @@dailydrivenexoticsstories
Speaking of age, I am definitely not in your demographics, in a few months I will be turning 70 but love the channel and watch every morning. The love of cars never leaves you, not on your level but had a C6 vette built for me new, still my daily and a crazy over the top '69 Bug complete with suicide doors amongst a ton of other mods. Keep up the great work!
Tim finished the car, you guys lol. Tim can't leave. He's such a great personality. One of the main reasons i watch it's like what Tim's gonna do next. 😂
I saw this title pop up, but I've been watching DDE for plenty enough time to know it's not what it seems. Haven't even watched yet, and I already know it's because the 550 is done.
@@ldcubayou do realize it’s not clickbait. It quite literal to the video. Your interpretation of the title is your own brain click-baiting you. I don’t know what else to write for a title for you guys to not call it clickbait. Maybe I’ll stop putting thumbnails up and just do the DDE logo with the title “another DDE episode” for the people who can’t handle the internet. 😂😂😂
Happy birthday FDC Mike Essa!!! You guys have always traveled in between videos, and I had gotten used to that, but since you have given Mike and Tim and everyone there more screen time just makes it so much better now! Mike has been an absolute rock star on these recent builds!
He good at Explaining things. everything he's doing even if it should sound like rocket science.... he has this gental laid back way of putting it in layman's terms. So even if someone isn't a car guy, or knows nothing about exotic hyper cars or anything about car mechanics in general. you can understand it when it comes out of that man's mouth for some reason.lol He has a gift..an its not just designing, building, an racing Superior European exotic race cars for the ground up! 😂 He knows how to pass those gifts on, an makes you comfortable enough to believe in what you are doing!
Dave's smile at 5:10 - Man something about that really struck me. For a moment he just seemed like he didn't have a care in the world, just chillin' with his buddy. I hope we all find moments like that everyday throughout 2024
Can’t imagine how hard it is to come up with new content constantly all while trying to maintain a business, shop for a new property, co-ordinate builds, flying in and out for family etc.. must be SUPER stressful but you guys are always gritting your teeth and grinding through it all.. props to Damon and Dave for all the hard work.. we appreciate it.
The 550 is such an incredible car. Plus it’s the first real “strip everything down” build in the channel, and it’s also the first build done by the guys. It’s stunning to see the milestones that you guys have been able to accomplish through all these years: I’ve been following since 2018, when you guys first met with Houston Crosta, and from then you all have been such a BIG inspiration. Wishing everyone a great great great 2024, let’s make it even more special. ❤️
@@dailydrivenexoticsstoriesseeing you roll the car out, just reminded me how nice it is…the body work, that interior! Car is super clean looking.

Time flies!!! No joke. I turned 62 last year and I still feel 35 lol. The main issue now is I don't want to miss a thing, and I have a lot still to accomplish, so I kind of don't really sleep much anymore. I know, but what if I only have another year, or less? I have to enjoy every moment. Buy fast bikes,cars and love my family till it hurts! Happy new year guys! Hit it hard!!
Bro… enjoy life and everything.. ill be 3 yrs away from being 50 this July 9th… lol… getting old sucks, but just got to be HAPPY, accept what life throws at you, and just enjoy waking up each n everyday.. blessed be ❤❤❤
I can feel the stress you guys have going with the shop situation. Not because it's hard to find a location but because you guys now have employees and their families you're supporting. It shows how much you guys do care about making things not only work for the business but for your employees as well. Much love DDE and here's to a successful 2024
I feel you when it comes to the age . I’m 44 and it’s crazy how you start thinking about how much time you have left to do things and the things you want to accomplish before you do leave this earth
I'm staring at 50 straight in its face, and damn, it's making me nervous as hell. It's crazy how it's like you hit 40 and time shifts into overdrive. Next thing you know, 50 ...WTF!! Getting older sucks 😂
@@Thatdude877 I also turned 36 recently and not feeling too good about it 😐 Can't believe that in just 4 years I'll be 40, that's insane and depressing !!!
I just lost my younger brother a few months ago to a sudden heart attack at 52 years old. That was a big wake up to enjoy what little time we have in this game of life.
Forget the cars for a minute . I've always admired Damon's attitude to life , how positive he always is and his very wise words about never giving up and eventually things will fall your way.
Dude I was kinda dreading turning 50 but, it came on quick last January! I'll be 51 on the 25th and it ain't been so bad. Time definitely does fly with every day that passes. Seems like the older we get, the quicker time goes!
Im battling the 45 thing myself in February and have kids the same age it’s wild how fast time goes. Have to enjoy family and friends right now tomorrows is not promised. Love the channel boys.
I love these titles and thumb nails. Is perfect for UA-cam. If you people haven’t figured out how Damon and Dave are, and that mostly they’re goofy dudes, then you’re in the wrong place. Love all the hard work you guys do. It’s hard to do daily uploads and keep it all intertwining. Kudos fellas. And the addition to all the new guys is awesome. Tim and Mike are gold
I am 3 months from turning 50, and for me, that is so true. i dont have time for anything that isn't making me happy, and i see myself spending more time with my family, especially my children.
@@CarsCatAliensMy thoughts exactly.. He has a lot on his plate. They have a ton of stuff in the shop to move, and all the big equipment isn't that easy to move around. Let alone finding and settling on a new property.
Dave’s ok. We just have the stress of moving and finding a new building right now on our shoulders. It’s a lot when you want to keep things going and provide for your own family but it’s even more stress when you have employees and their families after you build it up to this point. We got this tho. Don’t worry too much.
How many people got pissed before seeing the video. I was tripping, Tim cant leave bro, he is now a part of DDE for life. I love ysob's including Tim.....😂😂😂
Crazy,when I first started watching DDE Presley, was just a baby. When you watch a channel so long, it's weird to watch everything change and grow. We forget this is real life sometimes.
after this video i start to understand really how much woork u put on guys i really i appreciate it a loot u i enjoyed every second of any vlog im addicted always waiting for dde notification main channel or stories ♥️♥️
Dave stressed about the future wifes birthday, after a stressful week. We are all human man not every days a fin filled laugh a minute. Love the content and the grind all of you put in. Best channel on the interweb 👌🤘🤘🤘
This is for Damon. As far as time goes, people get that concept wrong. It really doesn't matter how much time you have in a sense cuz when it's over it's over. There's nothing you can do about it. You don't know what your loved ones have. That's what matters and that's why time is the most valuable thing we have. There's no even close. Second, we all act like tomorrow's given to us. The next second isn't guaranteed and there's times when that second happens in the person had no idea that it even happened. Some traumatic event that they didn't see coming whatever like getting hit by something, whatever you want to come up with. But it's always about what your loved ones have. I had a superpower. That's what it would be knowing how much time everyone had
@@painkiller8159 no matter how bad your situation is, there someone within a quarter mile of you at any given time that wishes that was their situation and it can always be worse. When people say no, we can't. All right, you're paralyzed. You're going through what you're going through now and you're completely paralyzed. Oh, now you're blind and the last image you saw was your family being murdered in front of you? I can make it worse so easily doesn't mean it's easy but it can be worse. Trick is believing and knowing that and it 100% works. I'm never sad or depressed everything is temporary during life
Love you Dave, cheer up my man 👍 DDE wouldn’t be where it’s at without the two D’s Damon and Dave. The channel has grown with Mike and the others but you two are the OG’s 🫶
Hey dde if your seeing this I’ve been a fan for over 4-5 years now and I’m so happy too see your guy’s accomplishments! Keep up the hard work! I love watching the videos I haven’t missed one in almost a year now so we going strong !!
You guys got this the only thing that sucks is basically you guys are stuck to a certain area to keep it comfortable for all the guys to be able to be there and do what they do good luck guys ive been watching for years in a couple different accounts i have with different phones and tablets etc
Dave may have been focused on getting home and not focused on his typical antics, which I respect, and that shows how critical he is to this channel. The vibes were different without him being his typical self. Dave is the best. Thanks for always making me laugh, I hope all of this stress from moving works out to an amazing next step 💪🏼
I thought it was weird to say 50 too, but now i'm 54 and it's not that weird. Just live your life the best way you can and remember you can't take anything with you when it's over. Take care of your healthy because at the end of the day that is what matters. There's a balance for everything - - maintain it.
35 is a achievement for me as I suffer from diabetes, high blood, CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and some type of heart condition just forgot the name, but making it this far from when the Doctors told me I won't see a certain age is a huge achievement for me. And the very Doctor that told me that is dead today. I don't know when I will go but God bless me with long life so I can keep watching DDE lol😂
I 🙏🏻 you's Find a Place soon , I ❤ this Channel , As for Tim I hope he Stays he make's a Great Teem Member to DDE , Happy Birthday to you Mike may you have many more . SKK .
I'll be 50 3 days before your 45. Really enjoy the videos guys. It's the first thing I do when I get home from work...tv on and straight on UA-cam to watch today's video everyday. I travelled to Scotland fro. Manchester to come and see you both. The closest I could get to your car was matt armstrongs lambo. I was stood in front of his lambo. Your aventador is really loud......you can feel it in your chest when you rev it up 😂
I am now 63 Damon and when I was in my 40s , which doesnt seem that long ago. But I can tell you something brother, your friends are correct, time is precious, and keep your health, health is more imortant than wealth, dont live to work, work to live. I am 63 but I worked in the Marine industry, as a commercial diver, and as a Master Mariner, not one day was boring or not fun. You mention the age of your daughters, my 3 daughters are all in their late 20s and I have one who is in her 30s, and I can tell you now being in my 60s is strange because I dont feel it, but man ! I have lived my life, dont get old and have too many regrets, dont have too many dreams unfulfilled, I set out to live my dreams at 19, no one I knew back then did anything close to what I was doing, all through my twenties I was somewhere exotic or working in the strangest of jobs , somewhere in the world. Surround yourself with like minded people, and dont live your life, like other people think you should live it, do whatever you like as long as you dont hurt anyone, and then there is no judgement except judgement on yourself.
Mike Essa is an amazing boss of DDE, I’m glad he has hired Damon and Dave and pays for wheels with Dave’s salary. I love y’all so much, been a follower and a fan since the 1st lambo in the backwoods on the island and then the amazing R8 for Dave. You are all amazing
Hey Damon, I just wanted to say thank you because when you said you ate pizza at the airport, you reminded me that I had leftover pizza in the fridge, which I'm warming up to as I write this message 😂😂😂😂😂
I think being in a new building will do wonders for everyone. It's a new year, so a fresh start to be able to make things exactly the way you want in a new space will definitely be great.
Lol! I'm so proud of Essa for going out of character and destroying something random that is used daily since yins can never decide where to eat everyday.
Damon I know you won't see this, but I'm a retired airline pilot. Do you know how many times I've heard very similar comments, like you said about the pilots sitting there?! LOL Safe travels, love your stuff!
Hey Daimon, my birthday is on the 27th Jan 77 so almost 2 years. Here in Australia and been watching for a bit!!!!! Have an Australian Raptor with wheels and tyres and we wheel it often. Also have the Australian Caprice with the 6.0l and building it. Here in Australia it’s a limo and live the limo life. Live your content and thanks to everyone on the Chanel to be here and make a difference. This year I am building a podcast for tech nerds who love petrol. Car heads and nerds at heart. We have a race team here in Australia too. We race Queensland Production cars and live our Motorsport. Thanks again dude and happy birthday to a fellow Aquarian who has the same eclectic taste and business belief to just go for it!!!!
Oh my god 10:29 had me crying in laughter. Mike wasn’t expecting that wheel to break when he threw it but when Damon saw it broken he was like yes I can finally break something new today 😂
Damon, you think it's weird saying 50, it's even weirder saying you're going to be half a century old. I'm currently 55. Grats on the success of your business ventures and UA-cam channels. We know you'll find another location for the shop, and also know it's going to be bigger and better. Happy New Year btw to you and your family, and all the DDE crew from Australia.
The new HQ needs a landing strip, One for damon and the 1of1's and secondly, Dave needs his pilot licence .. When you add the hours up that these guys do in a plane. It frigging totally makes sense ?
That's a HUGE time investment, and these guys are stretched as it is. They dont even have time to go get racing licenses. A lot of other UA-camrs have pilots licenses, but they've been at it for years.
Alex choi, Cleetus, I mean cleetus is a work machine i know. But i thought the whole point of getting the sim was to learn quicker and they will need the license as it wouldn't surprise me if we see a DDE full crew and team competing. Now they have the storys channel, it gives them abit more freedom, well it will do once the chaos from moving etc settles down @@ripn929707
Damon, THE NEW HQ IS GONNA BE SO DOPE , I MEAN LOOK AT ALL THE CARS!!!!!!!! 2:02 I Just wanted to share I was rushed to the ER new years day , and survived a major wide open life saving Surgery! Today I was given notice that I'm gonna make it !!! And im Alive..And I've had 2 Major 15+hour surgeries!!! And I appreciate ALL OF Life. All the way down to running watter fam. Godbless 5:51
Dave and Damon you guys should look into getting TSA pre-check I’m not sure if you or eligible for it since you live in Canada but it really would save you a lot of time going through the airport
I'll be 51 Feb 11th, it's amazing that time Flys the older we get. The years go by so fast but I wouldn't wanna be a teenager in these times. Growing up in the 80s was kickass.
Appreciate the good vibes DDE, sadly I wrecked the Z yesterday. I am not sure if it’s fixable but I’ve watched the 720GTR rebuild and it gives me hope. Thanks again DDE
I appreciate that you breakdown the day to day doings for content to keep flowing. Crazy about how both of you trying to fly back home, dealing with elements. Because Canada...
One piece of advice Damon from someone who burnt the candle at both ends. Whose health kept breaking down that left me with two neurological diseases of Multiple Sclerosis at aged 38 and Narcoleptic at 44 meaning I no longer could drive which I miss. Guys and followers of DDE please protect your health because when it starts to break you never can take it back! This is. Experience speaking and way you guys all the health and enjoyment you bring for people like me that can no longer drive a car on medical grounds. Please look after each other and the family you all are especially since Micheal joined your team. What a man and professional like the whole group. Never seen a work force as good anywhere ever, who knows 13:31 when to laugh like kids, loving your enjoyment from the cars you drive in DDE™️. I’m living my loss of driving through your eyes gents! Keep safe from all the other crazy’s on the road including your family. The G Wagon is one tough machine and no better vehicle to have your wife in who you see truly loves you Damon. 👍🏻🇮🇪🇨🇦
I’m 33, 2 kiddos and I’m already hyper focussed on my health and valuing every moment with the my family and other people important to me. People will tell you to “live to the fullest”. I’ll argue that point with… “Live intelligently and make moments important!” Think about it NOW! Even if you’re 24 and reading this. Blessing to all my brothers. Make this new year a savage one! 🫡
Watching the travel segments reminds me of my traveling for work. The pushing the limits of how close you can get to boarding, delays, Shitty food. Makes it better if you have someone with you. At first I was missing it then the delay part hit and I was like nope I’m good lol
Time does fly by Damon. That’s not something you fully grasp until you’re older. I just turned 40 and my oldest son I had when I was 21 is getting ready to turn 19 this summer.
I am turning 53 in two weeks. I feel like I am in the same guy I was in high school only my body doesn’t work and I am running out of time so fast I can’t stop it. It’s like jumping from an airplane without a parachute. The closer you get to the ground the faster it rushes up at you. Trust me, when you hit you won’t be ready for it!!! I know I am in full panic mode!
Don't freak us out like that!! So glad Tim isn't leaving lol.. Wishing all the DDE fam bam a prosperous new year!! Would love to see y'all when you guys come to AZ next time and get some Thai in the hood off broadway haha
Happy Birthday Mike Essa 2013 Formula Drift Champion!🏆🎈🍰🎶🎉 Re: Bentley....Dave, it's so cool! I love it! Damon you'll see, it will be even more cool and I think Mike will love the transition too! Good luck on choosing/finding a new HQ! Cheers all!😎

Dave stressed about the future wifes birthday, after a stressful week. We are all human man not every days a fin filled laugh a minute. Love the content and the grind all of you put in. Best channel on the interweb 👌🤘🤘🤘
Please keep it like the stories layout!
I love seeing you guys genuine
Every day that goes by I get more appreciative watching my kids grow up and my family it’s amazing and slightly scary but amazing
Damon getting out of the car and panning the camera to Dave just standing there staring at him smiling was hilarious!!
You're still young Damon. I just turned 50 last Jan 4 but still feel like 30. Enjoy life as it is. Advance Happy Birthday!
This is for Damon. As far as time goes, people get that concept wrong. It really doesn't matter how much time you have in a sense cuz when it's over it's over. There's nothing you can do about it. You don't know what your loved ones have. That's what matters and that's why time is the most valuable thing we have. There's no even close. Second, we all act like tomorrow's given to us. The next second isn't guaranteed and there's times when that second happens in the person had no idea that it even happened. Some traumatic event that they didn't see coming whatever like getting hit by something, whatever you want to come up with. But it's always about what your loved ones have. I had a superpower. That's what it would be knowing how much time everyone had
Dang
None of us are promised tomorrow. Some of us don't care because another day of pain and BS isn't that thrilling.
@@painkiller8159 no matter how bad your situation is, there someone within a quarter mile of you at any given time that wishes that was their situation and it can always be worse. When people say no, we can't. All right, you're paralyzed. You're going through what you're going through now and you're completely paralyzed. Oh, now you're blind and the last image you saw was your family being murdered in front of you? I can make it worse so easily doesn't mean it's easy but it can be worse. Trick is believing and knowing that and it 100% works. I'm never sad or depressed everything is temporary during life
Love you Dave, cheer up my man 👍
DDE wouldn’t be where it’s at without the two D’s Damon and Dave. The channel has grown with Mike and the others but you two are the OG’s 🫶
Goodbye 550, You were awesome but I have no doubt that Mike Essa and the team are gonna make the 599 and the F12 to be way crazier 👍
He's gonna essafy them
Hey dde if your seeing this I’ve been a fan for over 4-5 years now and I’m so happy too see your guy’s accomplishments! Keep up the hard work! I love watching the videos I haven’t missed one in almost a year now so we going strong !!
Happy Birthday to THE BOSS Mike Essa!!!
You guys got this the only thing that sucks is basically you guys are stuck to a certain area to keep it comfortable for all the guys to be able to be there and do what they do good luck guys ive been watching for years in a couple different accounts i have with different phones and tablets etc
As soon as Damon gets on Canadian soil he drops way more “eh’s”. lol 🇨🇦🇺🇸
My Cajun wife does this the second we cross over into Louisiana 😂
Western Canada is more "h-eh" rather than eh
@@autowatch69 lol. I’m in Michigan just an hour from Sarnia and Windsor so I get the Ontario Eh. 😀🇺🇸🇨🇦
Dave may have been focused on getting home and not focused on his typical antics, which I respect, and that shows how critical he is to this channel. The vibes were different without him being his typical self. Dave is the best. Thanks for always making me laugh, I hope all of this stress from moving works out to an amazing next step 💪🏼
I hope you guys find a new shop soon, I want to see DDE grow and that will be a major part of that happening.
I thought it was weird to say 50 too, but now i'm 54 and it's not that weird. Just live your life the best way you can and remember you can't take anything with you when it's over. Take care of your healthy because at the end of the day that is what matters. There's a balance for everything - - maintain it.
35 is a achievement for me as I suffer from diabetes, high blood, CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and some type of heart condition just forgot the name, but making it this far from when the Doctors told me I won't see a certain age is a huge achievement for me. And the very Doctor that told me that is dead today. I don't know when I will go but God bless me with long life so I can keep watching DDE lol😂
I 🙏🏻 you's Find a Place soon , I ❤ this Channel , As for Tim I hope he Stays he make's a Great Teem Member to DDE , Happy Birthday to you Mike may you have many more . SKK .
I'll be 50 3 days before your 45.
Really enjoy the videos guys. It's the first thing I do when I get home from work...tv on and straight on UA-cam to watch today's video everyday.
I travelled to Scotland fro. Manchester to come and see you both. The closest I could get to your car was matt armstrongs lambo. I was stood in front of his lambo. Your aventador is really loud......you can feel it in your chest when you rev it up 😂
Hey bro happy birthday 🥳 Thanks for watching. We appreciate your loyal viewership 🙏
I appreciate your great videos
And also a happy birthday to you too bro 🎉
Y'all got me nervous about this move hope all goes well an you find a great spot can't wait to see what's next
damon in the mercy and dave in the bentley sums up perfectly the twos diffrent taste in cars and i love it keep it up guys yall are the best
Not once did Tim say he was leaving in the WHOLE segment
The 550 is leaving after Tim finished putting it back together 😄
Yeah right!!! Bye Tim hope you go onto to bigger better things!!!. I guess he's done building the 5t0 interior. Cause now he needs to do his car!!!
I don't get it either it's really annoying if he's not
If I learn anything about this channel, it's never to believe the clickbait title.
I am now 63 Damon and when I was in my 40s , which doesnt seem that long ago.
But I can tell you something brother, your friends are correct, time is precious, and keep your health, health is more imortant than wealth, dont live to work, work to live.
I am 63 but I worked in the Marine industry, as a commercial diver, and as a Master Mariner, not one day was boring or not fun.
You mention the age of your daughters, my 3 daughters are all in their late 20s and I have one who is in her 30s, and I can tell you now being in my 60s is strange because I dont feel it, but man ! I have lived my life, dont get old and have too many regrets, dont have too many dreams unfulfilled, I set out to live my dreams at 19, no one I knew back then did anything close to what I was doing, all through my twenties I was somewhere exotic or working in the strangest of jobs , somewhere in the world.
Surround yourself with like minded people, and dont live your life, like other people think you should live it, do whatever you like as long as you dont hurt anyone, and then there is no judgement except judgement on yourself.
Daily DDE video, highlight of my day during illness
Mike Essa is an amazing boss of DDE, I’m glad he has hired Damon and Dave and pays for wheels with Dave’s salary.
I love y’all so much, been a follower and a fan since the 1st lambo in the backwoods on the island and then the amazing R8 for Dave.
You are all amazing
Hey Damon, I just wanted to say thank you because when you said you ate pizza at the airport, you reminded me that I had leftover pizza in the fridge, which I'm warming up to as I write this message 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm 48 in February. I've definitely noticed the years passing by waaaay faster than they used to, and the sense that I'm no longer invincible!
The grind and hustle that you guys put into DDE is commendable!
I think being in a new building will do wonders for everyone. It's a new year, so a fresh start to be able to make things exactly the way you want in a new space will definitely be great.
Lol! I'm so proud of Essa for going out of character and destroying something random that is used daily since yins can never decide where to eat everyday.
Damon I know you won't see this, but I'm a retired airline pilot. Do you know how many times I've heard very similar comments, like you said about the pilots sitting there?! LOL Safe travels, love your stuff!
Hahahaha I’m just messing around. I really appreciate pilots. ❤️
@@dailydrivenexoticsstoriesI know that, I was messing back with you. Sorry for confusion! LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A delivery video in Manila would be epic for the Ferrari. I miss the out of Country videos.
Hey Daimon, my birthday is on the 27th Jan 77 so almost 2 years. Here in Australia and been watching for a bit!!!!!
Have an Australian Raptor with wheels and tyres and we wheel it often. Also have the Australian Caprice with the 6.0l and building it. Here in Australia it’s a limo and live the limo life. Live your content and thanks to everyone on the Chanel to be here and make a difference. This year I am building a podcast for tech nerds who love petrol. Car heads and nerds at heart. We have a race team here in Australia too. We race Queensland Production cars and live our Motorsport. Thanks again dude and happy birthday to a fellow Aquarian who has the same eclectic taste and business belief to just go for it!!!!
Oh my god 10:29 had me crying in laughter. Mike wasn’t expecting that wheel to break when he threw it but when Damon saw it broken he was like yes I can finally break something new today 😂
Lmfao man I knew Mike was fucking tired of that wheel 😂
Damon, you think it's weird saying 50, it's even weirder saying you're going to be half a century old. I'm currently 55.
Grats on the success of your business ventures and UA-cam channels.
We know you'll find another location for the shop, and also know it's going to be bigger and better.
Happy New Year btw to you and your family, and all the DDE crew from Australia.
The new HQ needs a landing strip, One for damon and the 1of1's and secondly, Dave needs his pilot licence .. When you add the hours up that these guys do in a plane. It frigging totally makes sense ?
Awesome idea and would make for incredible content !!
That's a HUGE time investment, and these guys are stretched as it is. They dont even have time to go get racing licenses. A lot of other UA-camrs have pilots licenses, but they've been at it for years.
Alex choi, Cleetus, I mean cleetus is a work machine i know. But i thought the whole point of getting the sim was to learn quicker and they will need the license as it wouldn't surprise me if we see a DDE full crew and team competing. Now they have the storys channel, it gives them abit more freedom, well it will do once the chaos from moving etc settles down
@@ripn929707
Damon, THE NEW HQ IS GONNA BE SO DOPE , I MEAN LOOK AT ALL THE CARS!!!!!!!! 2:02 I Just wanted to share I was rushed to the ER new years day , and survived a major wide open life saving Surgery! Today I was given notice that I'm gonna make it !!! And im Alive..And I've had 2 Major 15+hour surgeries!!! And I appreciate ALL OF Life. All the way down to running watter fam. Godbless 5:51
Died when I heard Damon’s laugh 😂
Hay guys finally your both home with the families. Have a relaxing time. See you in the next video.
Doesn't matter how old we get we're all Toys r Us kids we refuse to act our age lol 😂😂😂😂😂
When I grow up, I wanna be just like Tim... he's my spirit animal.
Dave and Damon you guys should look into getting TSA pre-check I’m not sure if you or eligible for it since you live in Canada but it really would save you a lot of time going through the airport
I think they are on that already.
Nexus
I'll be 51 Feb 11th, it's amazing that time Flys the older we get. The years go by so fast but I wouldn't wanna be a teenager in these times. Growing up in the 80s was kickass.
The trip with Billionaire Mike would be sick 🙌🏾
Appreciate the good vibes DDE, sadly I wrecked the Z yesterday. I am not sure if it’s fixable but I’ve watched the 720GTR rebuild and it gives me hope. Thanks again DDE
I hope this title is clickbait, all the current DDE employees are the best version of DDE we've gotten so far
I lost it when mike thru the lunch wheel. That was hilarious! Luv the vids! Keep it up!
It won't be long before you're a Great Grandpa!
I appreciate that you breakdown the day to day doings for content to keep flowing. Crazy about how both of you trying to fly back home, dealing with elements. Because Canada...
Pretty sure and hoping it's a clickbait. But I'll still be watching.
All the way from Malaysia with love 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
One piece of advice Damon from someone who burnt the candle at both ends. Whose health kept breaking down that left me with two neurological diseases of Multiple Sclerosis at aged 38 and Narcoleptic at 44 meaning I no longer could drive which I miss.
Guys and followers of DDE please protect your health because when it starts to break you never can take it back! This is. Experience speaking and way you guys all the health and enjoyment you bring for people like me that can no longer drive a car on medical grounds. Please look after each other and the family you all are especially since Micheal joined your team.
What a man and professional like the whole group. Never seen a work force as good anywhere ever, who knows 13:31 when to laugh like kids, loving your enjoyment from the cars you drive in DDE™️.
I’m living my loss of driving through your eyes gents! Keep safe from all the other crazy’s on the road including your family. The G Wagon is one tough machine and no better vehicle to have your wife in who you see truly loves you Damon. 👍🏻🇮🇪🇨🇦
Good morning DDE Fam!
What time is it in their??
I’m 33, 2 kiddos and I’m already hyper focussed on my health and valuing every moment with the my family and other people important to me.
People will tell you to “live to the fullest”. I’ll argue that point with… “Live intelligently and make moments important!” Think about it NOW! Even if you’re 24 and reading this.
Blessing to all my brothers. Make this new year a savage one! 🫡
You guys need to get Mike a Lambo!! Please surprise him next he is so deserving of one with his hard work and loyalty!!!!
Tim you will be missed! I totally understand your reasoning but sad to see you go. Wish you the best!!!
What are you even talking about? Did you watch the video....lol
Lmao I hate these click bait 😡 videos 😂
100% Damon, I turn 53 this year and constantly have to remind myself I’m not in my 20’s, facing our own mortality is a big issue
Age is just a number my guy😊Keep punching🤘
Watching the travel segments reminds me of my traveling for work. The pushing the limits of how close you can get to boarding, delays, Shitty food. Makes it better if you have someone with you. At first I was missing it then the delay part hit and I was like nope I’m good lol
Get him ready for Manilla by introducing him to Jollibee
True
Time does fly by Damon. That’s not something you fully grasp until you’re older. I just turned 40 and my oldest son I had when I was 21 is getting ready to turn 19 this summer.
Goodbye damon and dave , thank god tim and Michael hired you both 😂😂😂 you will be missed 🎉😂😂😂😂
Working with these dudes would be the dopest job ever. All love cars and enjoy the same passion. I mean just look at some of the whips in that garage
We're gonna miss Tim... hahahaha!
10:50 😭😭😭yall are the best, the way Michael threw the wheel spin 😂😂
I'd rather Dave have a fake bank person come in vs yall trick us into thinking we lost a national treasure such as Tim 😢
I am turning 53 in two weeks. I feel like I am in the same guy I was in high school only my body doesn’t work and I am running out of time so fast I can’t stop it. It’s like jumping from an airplane without a parachute. The closer you get to the ground the faster it rushes up at you. Trust me, when you hit you won’t be ready for it!!! I know I am in full panic mode!
DDE FOREVER❤❤❤
Oh boy… hoping for a little clickbait… first comment and I’m worried for Tim! Time to watch the video…
Same here 😂
Just keep being humble. You guys have a dream work life, family, and garage!
Bye Tim we will miss you already
Oh clickbait. Tim was finished with detailing the Ferrari heading to the Phillipines
i was thought he was left dde team but it was clickbait at all
Flip Tim for leaving, ungrateful jerk. They get him a car and he leaves. Screw that guy.
Watch the video first ffs
Y’all need to learn English first. 😂😂😂😂
I can’t believe I’ve been watch since Damon was 38 maybe 37 time flys crazy fast .
o7 Tim, you will be missed.
Oh! The 550 came out so well! Nice one Mike & Tim it looks awesome...
Please god let this be clickbait
Don't freak us out like that!! So glad Tim isn't leaving lol.. Wishing all the DDE fam bam a prosperous new year!! Would love to see y'all when you guys come to AZ next time and get some Thai in the hood off broadway haha
Happy Birthday Mike Essa 2013 Formula Drift Champion!🏆🎈🍰🎶🎉
Re: Bentley....Dave, it's so cool! I love it! Damon you'll see, it will be even more cool and I think Mike will love the transition too!
Good luck on choosing/finding a new HQ!
Cheers all!😎
