A couple years ago while driving anhydrous ammonia in my big rig, at night, on my regular run through Texas, I found vice grip garage. My dad was a gear head but a bad alcoholic. The 36 Chevy sat in the garage through my entire childhood and we never built it, so I never learned how to do it with my dad. So on that night drive I watched one of your earlier videos, and then one after another. You brought that childhood fascination and love of cars back to life for me. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks for giving me the gift my dad couldn't. Merry Christmas to you and your Derek
You know watching youtube while driving is against the law. And if you ever get in a wreck and someone dies, this comment could be used to put you in prison. You should delete this kiddo....
Hi Derek. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm the guy in the blue Chevelle that you raced at the end. That was a fun day and it was a pleasure to actually meet you after all of the VGG videos I've watched. Thanks for coming all the way to California for that event. Sorry to hear about Road Worthy Rescues and all of the other Motor Trend shows. I look forward to many more VGG videos. Don't worry, I'm taking good care of your helmet. lol
Glad you had fun but tough to see all the favorite shows at the end. Thanks so much to all of you for the countless hours of entertainment. Much appreciated.
Hopefully Famoso will be around for a long time to come! It's so sad to see our drag strips disappearing like they are! Our strip closed down a few years ago, and it hurts my soul!
Merry Christmas, Derek, and to your great family. And to all the people at Motor trend. I will miss the channel. All of you have been an inspiration to me and so many others. Thanks again it will be missed.
Super appreciative of the extra videos and effort by Derek this month. I'm away from home at work and am currently in China, makes the time being away from family a little nicer to have some nice VGG videos to relax and watch.
I'm really gonna miss watching these shows, it was my education in hot rods. However, I still follow them all right here on UA-cam and I want miss a beat of what they're up to. Thanks Derek for another awesome video.
I hope you and your family will get some well needed rest. Hate to see RR end but am excited to see what VGG has in store. Thank you and your family most of all for letting us borrow you and enjoy some great content.

Merry Christmas. Thank you for all of the entertainment you’ve provided us! As a firefighter who has dealt with PTSD, your videos have been a way to forget all about it.
Random….I love Dulcich…so humble, polite, insightful, a high level mechanical engineer in the very best way, determined master craftsman, deeply knowledgable of all the subtleties of the machine and a total gentleman to boot….honestly an inspiration. Ps. Derek.. what you do is art. Please continue… ⚙️🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸⚙️🍺
Most of them are doing their own thing on UA-cam which is more entertaining I think. It would be nice if they could all get together like this once a year.
Sadly, our oldest son (US Army Veteran) lost his battle with PTSD and alcohol and we are holding off the funeral until after the Holidays. Needed something for a temporary mental break, and I'm notified of a new episode...timing couldn't be better. Thank you! Fellow Veterans: If you need help, get help. If you need more help, get that too. PLEASE.
Appreciate this comment. A lot of vets current or retired struggle very heavily during the holidays. My condolences for your loss... Its not easy being a service member.
So So Sorry to hear this. It is a shame that our government sends these men and women into these situations and basically throws them away when they are finished with them! Godspeed to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to everybody. It was super to see Steve M signing autographs near the beginning. As much as I love the Vice Grip, it's just the Christmas spirit to see everyone from all my favorite shows.
It's getting harder and harder for any of these types of shows to survive on classic cable. First off who seriously still watches cable except for your grandma? I cut the cable over a decade ago and pretty much only watch UA-cam or Prime anymore. I would actually prefer to see this era bow out with style before funding gets even worse and the content suffers. Like me Derek was just born a decade too late to catch the golden age of cable, but his sub counts show it's not for a lack of quality content. We'll still be here Derek while actively LOOKING for your content instead of something I skipped across while channel surfing. Much love to you, Jessica, and the kids and looking forward to another great year of entertainment, laughs, and maybe a little accidental edumacation.
I half expected to hear him describe AG1 with one of his colorful descriptions of the many smells he comes across. Example: AG1 tastes like boiled shoe leather and Lifebuoy soap, with a hint of cinnimon. 🤣
0:06 Thank you for allowing us to be apart of the family. Over the years mine has shrunk down some.. appreciate the content and thoughts. Merry Christmas and a safe/healthy new year.
Derrick I hope you are just chilling the next few days, enjoy these yrs with your boys while they are there. Don’t film, take your wife out, take the kids riding, we can all wait a week or so for you to get back at it. Merry Christmas Beri family, enjoy the new year too! The Silver’s will sure be here when you post next!
that looked like it was fun. I really hated to see that the Motortrend TV production has gone away, glad that you guys all got together for this event. wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy prosperous and safe New Year
My first grandson was born 6 days ago. Can't wait to work on cars or lawn mowers or other such item needing the old main-tan-nance with the little feller. Thanks for bringing this family friendly content to us! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Is anyone else spending Christmas alone and was so glad this video dropped thank you so much for the video and pray for all the ones who are having to spend Christmas alone I’m right here with y’all. God bless.
Sorry I had my dogs here went to drop a present back window is open totally freaked me out I got home and there they were in the window happy holidays all
Grateful for all the content. I don't know any of those other people or about those other shows. I watch VGG. Not sure what I'll do when Derek calls quits on this channel.
You are missing out. Lucky Costa, Alex, David Freiburger , and all the other great people all have UA-cam channels now, since MotorTrend/Discovery decided to axe everything. Lots of cool stuff to check out.
Nah just roadkill and their corporate fuckery. They had all the names and talent but they had to write a script for things that we very much enjoy more when they are unscripted and off the cuff. Good riddance i say. Motortrend on demand was bearable but when they switched the iptv broadcasting the corporate shills took over completely.
Derek And Jessica thank you for all that you do for all of us and thank you so much for your generosity! It’s wonderful to see the kids doing their part in the Garage it’s I think something that will propel them to the next step in their journey
I've been a subscriber to Motor Trend's site for the last 6 years. It's sad to see the end of an era but all of you are great people and there's no doubt you will go on to much bigger and better things.
Derek is the most real and in touch person out there…. Who else makes time to reach out to those who are struggling through the holidays alone and throws them a life line. Awesome person and family.
I'm going to say "Thank you for all you do" and Merry Christmas to you and your family before I even take the time to watch this. You don't need Motortrend anyway...we got you!
I'm sure they were paying him well to do those episodes lol. But the good part for us/him is more time devoted to his own thing. Hopefully the guy gets more time with his family now
Thank you Derek and the rest of the gang for all the great videos. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of them in the future somewhere. Merry Christmas to you and the family.
I enjoyed this so much Derek, brings back old memories for me at PIR in Oregon and Pacific Raceway, ( formally SIR) in Kent WA. so much fun and good people always. Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you so much for all the entertainment you have given us old hot rodders.
These shows will never end to us. What you guys do on UA-cam is a continuation of these series.
Only better...!

Great to see Steve Magnante at the autograph table.
I miss Junk Yard Gold. That was a great show with such a knowlagable host.
Glad Steve Magnante is still kicking damn moskitos/ticks...
I was thinking the same thing.
Really Happy to see Steve Magnante there!
I said the same, he's a cool guy, glad he's around.

Super glad to see a bunch of the guys on UA-cam at least. Hope the future brings a ton more awesome adventures with all the hosts!
I tried watching VG television shit! It sucked ass!
@HaroldFrost-b9r I actually really enjoyed Roadworthy Rescues. It was something good to watch while getting ready for work
Maybe some other production company will come along to "rescue" Roadworthy Rescues.
Thanks, Derek.I love watching your show and being part of the vice grip garage fam. You bring me a lot of smiles
