I'm sitting here in the ICU with my wife. She had a procedure on her heart that was done incorrectly causing a hole in her esophagus and heart. Dumping toxic infected blood into her blood stream causing her to have 2 massive strokes which lead to her now being paralyzed on her right side. She was life flighted to Charleston MUSC to have Emergency Open Heart Surgery and Esophagus surgery to repair the holes. 10.5 hours of life saving surgery later and she is in recovery. She is alive and improving everyday. But we have months of rehab ahead of us. DDE, your uploads help me remember when I lived in Japan and I used to drift and drag race. Those days were amazing. Happy birthday Damon, I'm 45 years old also and I came extremely close to losing the woman I love. Hug your loved ones and never let go. They got your back, just make sure you got theirs. Thank you for helping me thru this difficult time. Respectfully, Ed Love
Prayers to you and your family I pray you all have a speedy recovery mentally physically and emotionally. I’m sorry for what your going through, every tough battle god leaves to his strongest angels 🫡🖤
Love the quote at the end of the video. It's going up on the wall! "Time flys, don't waste time worrying about what other people think...." Keep raising the bar!
A late Happy Birthday to you Damon, I hope you had a great time in Vegas. You're 2 years older than me and for sure time flies! It been just over 6years since my wife died and it feel like yesterday! Anyway, I hope you have a great blessed 2024, onwards and upwards. No time for stalling, just keep moving. Legends aren't made by sitting still 😊
I was thinking it was scary rather than hilarious. 1/10th of what they did would get me sacked on the spot, no warning, no possible mitigation. Having a person standing on the forks whilst another was in the drivers seat, instant dismissal for both.
The first lesson a driver is taught: never screw around with a forklift. These things have an incredible amount of torque that no human tissue is a match for. This is about as sensible in the workplace as the time Dave was screwing around with the tire mounting rig.
Happy birthday Damon! Watching DDE go from you hooning around doing donuts up at the Costco parking lot in the middle of Winter in Victoria in the Huracan to the new DDE HQ has been quite the journey, All those hours editing your films to where you are now, much deserved success. Enjoy!
It's so cool seeing places you've been before in a DDE video. I'm a trucker and I've picked up at that warehouse facility seen at the 0:47 point in the video. I actually got to go to Hoonigan while my truck was being loaded and met a few of the crew members. It was a great experience, can't wait to go back and see the place under DDE control.
Happy birthday Damon. I myself just turned 42 In January. I have been a subscriber for three years now, and every. day or every time y'all post stuff. I enjoy watching your videos and just gotta say the channel has come a long way. and I love where it's going and where it's come from. I think I've watched every video of to date. as all we have in our house is Internet and I think the only thing our family subscribes to is TH-cam. So I do enjoy your content and other TH-camrs like yourself, mostly car stuff. Thanks for always having great content and keeping us up to date with what's happening in the garage with the cars. Love. watching your cruises. with the Cruises and when you go on road trips are my faves. I have a neighbor next door where I live and we often watch together. We're big car enthusiasts. Anyways, just wanted to say keep up the good work. Happy 45th.
Could hurt someone real bad. I seen a few forklift accidents. Runs your foot over, no more foot! Falls on you, could end you. Those things weight alot!😂
@@blainingram2141 No, the E -Brake was already released …That’s what was making that Beeping noise, Forklift’s Don’t-and Can NOT Start unless your E brake Is On. When you go to turn the key and start the Forklift on a Released E-Brake thats what causes that long “Beeeeep” it’s the forklifts way of communicating to the operator, Letting that person know they’re not starting it correctly
Happy Birthday Damian wish you the best but super glad that of all the places and things you can do you find time to spend it with your family often time people forget the value of such precious moments. You the best brotha!
Happy birthday Damon!! I swear it seems like it was just yesterday that you turned 40 and that was already 5 years ago. Time certainly flies and you guys have made it fun.
Something like that happened here this past summer, tourist super lost in the dark took a wrong turn & got their car stuck on train tracks like a see-saw. Was pretty fascinating how they got it out! Also SVJ🙏❤
Happy 45th birthday Damon! 🎊🚘 Best wishes & fun shenanigans at the new HQ! Congrats on all achieved goals and to continued success to you n the DDE gang! Love the daily uploads, it always starts my day on a good foot! Keep up the amazing content, much love from Texas! 🤟🤠
Love from India man like I've been watching DDE channel since 2016 and it feels like tomorrow can't imagine how much you guys went big if we look behind
@23:49 Is what I needed to hear, thanks for that Damon. We live in the Shuswap and had to close our family business due to a death in the family. Realizing I need to find a shop and start it back up - I just found out I'm going to be a dad!! Congrats to you guys on the growth you've seen, looks like 2024 is going to be a big year for us both. Keep it up.
Thats first time i seen damon hold the kids accountable, about time. . Congratulations and happy Birthday 🎂🎂 Once the new place is up and running, you should send dave away for a break from it all. If That guy brain fries DDE is doooooom'ed lol...🏆🏆
Just for fun yall should put a jumper cable from one track to the other. On an operating rail road signal it would trigger it. It'd be interesting to see if it's still powered
21:40 over all the years I have been watching DDE This is the first vlog in which I’ve found Indian people (except Nik from VF engineering) Damon and Dave you guys should definitely come to India sometime
I'm a different kind of subscriber!! I've been with DDE since the beginning!! Don't know much about mechanics, but I like it! Mike's builds are works of art!!!
Happy belated Birthday, Damon! My birthday was yesterday too. I took the day off to rip my Vette around town 🤙 So cool we share a birthday and a passion for cars. Life is too short to not live intentionally!
Happy Birthday Damon hope ya had a great time. As a forklift driver my self, you do end up in situations where machinery just play up at times. Gotta do a little math with the Data Plate to see it's true safe lifting capacity. Hoonigan forklift, it's gotta be the only 1 in the world lol.
I just saw the outdoors just now looks like an industrial area . An idea popped up a quarter mile race with people, block the street for a quarter mile and organize like a street race kind of stuff like fast and furious 1 but legal one it'll be awesome. (idk if its possible but if it is it would be great content )People pull up in cool cars and race and buy merch and get food and drinks .
Happy belated birthday, I turned 31 on the 28th, fully agree you should go after what you want, if you dream or think it it will happen, just need to put the work in.
You guys have come a long way …literally from Canada 🇨🇦..big fan of you guys so happy for you … if you ever looking for an intern, assistant, or any thing you can think of I’ll do it for free I just want to learn yes or no I’m still going to be watching thanks for all the inspiring work you do
You can put PVC sleeves over tires and on that polished floor of the shop you would have an absolute field day with shenanigans!!! Also make a hell of a indoor hockey rink or hang a disco ball and throw some old school roller skate parties 🎉🎉
DailydrivenExotics Stories Great Video I'm glad Damon had a great time on his Birthday with your family and friends and Happy Belated birthday to him and I'm glad you guys had a safe flight and I hope you guys end up figuring out how to use that fork lift
They were at that liquor store near Treasure Island and The Mirage. I used to take my mom to work that way on Twain before she retired. Wish I could’ve seen y’all since I live in Vegas. Happy Birthday Bday Damon
Happy birthday I love your new place. I think it’s awesome. I can’t wait to see what you gonna do the place I have in the dangers of talking about the president look awesome.🏁🎉
At 3:10 that is called a bumper, it just marks the end of the track really, they don't stop anything but light taps from a rail car, lol. I work for the railroad in the Ports of LA/Long Beach. In fact you guys did a intro with the Dodge Viper with one of my companies Engine's and my coworkers which I thought was cool! The tracks you're on are out of service.
I'm gonna make the same comment I did here as I dud on one if your varo vids, I'm so happy you decided to go back to your true self, which is kind, generous ,inclusive, humble. I guess I'm just ol skool(1980),and BTW let's cut up my '17 audi rs7 performance and widebody dde style currently I have full akrapovich exhaust, no other mods except cosmetic
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DAMON!!Hope You And The Family And Friends Had A GREAT TIME IN VEGAS!!! As much space as you guys have there, I’d make a place to sleep and stay there when you guys are in town! Make your own Hotel Room! And save that money! I know when the wife and kids are going to be there stay in the Hotel! That’s just my opinion I know you guys have stayed there for a long time but I also know that’s a really big cost you can cut out! And just like a lot of people are asking WHERE IS THE SVJ!!! #DDESVJCOMEBACKPLEASE
The area is ghetto but beautiful. The Building is right near hwy 1 PCH. You’re near some great hikes and beaches. Wait till you see the mini bike/ car races races on the next street over from you

Happy birthday damon 🥳
We are here from Sri lanka too...
@@igcas LK❤
Damon-"put your wheels in the water and hawk it this way"
Marc-"yes sir" 😂
Yesterday.. "this is poop water"
Love the quote at the end of the video. It's going up on the wall! "Time flys, don't waste time worrying about what other people think...." Keep raising the bar!
That slogan needs to be on the wall at the HQ .
A late Happy Birthday to you Damon, I hope you had a great time in Vegas. You're 2 years older than me and for sure time flies! It been just over 6years since my wife died and it feel like yesterday!

Simp wishing happy birthday to someone he don’t even know.
As a forklift driver, Watching you guys trying to operate the forklift was halarious😂
Definitely not forklift certified 😂
I was thinking it was scary rather than hilarious. 1/10th of what they did would get me sacked on the spot, no warning, no possible mitigation. Having a person standing on the forks whilst another was in the drivers seat, instant dismissal for both.

@gregedmand9939 Absolutely agree, I am pretty cool with just mucking about but there are limits and I think this actually crossed the line for me
lol here the same

I love the way Dave sits there in his skinny jeans and expensive shoes just pushing buttons and hammering the forklift! Hahaha
He needs to release the e-brake.
As a forklift trainer, this hurt to the core 😂😂
Could hurt someone real bad. I seen a few forklift accidents. Runs your foot over, no more foot! Falls on you, could end you. Those things weight alot!😂

This channel will hit 1m subs in 2024! The new HQ is super crazy! Also buying that guy a bottle of Blanton’s was so generous.
We about to overtake the main channel in views 😂😂😂
When it’s uncut, it’s so much more fun.
Make us feel we are part of the family.
Happy birthday 🎂 Damon.
Thank you
😎😎😎👍👍👍
nothin like a fresh DDE video to start the day
it's funny because in my country is already night and you are talking about start of the day :D
Happy birthday Damon 🎂
Lots of love❤ from India 🇮🇳
Keep moving forward
Happy Birthday Damon. On the way to 39 this year, not too far behind you. Definitely need to do more in my life, time really is slipping away.
Indian car culture is one of a kind. Youre in for a treat i bet it will be more than you can take in.
Mumbai 📍
Happy Birthday Damon! Thanks for all you do for everyone and for so many years of fun shenanigans.
Where's the svj???

Main channel fir sure
Happy birthday Damon!! I swear it seems like it was just yesterday that you turned 40 and that was already 5 years ago. Time certainly flies and you guys have made it fun.

Can’t get aeay with it in the new professional space
Just for fun yall should put a jumper cable from one track to the other. On an operating rail road signal it would trigger it. It'd be interesting to see if it's still powered
Now that you have The Block I think you need to mount cameras up on the building, great view while freeing up your hands
21:40 over all the years I have been watching DDE
This is the first vlog in which I’ve found Indian people (except Nik from VF engineering)
Damon and Dave you guys should definitely come to India sometime

Another great upload SHOP DDE plate has to go on the Caravan GT 😂
Happy Birthday Damon hope ya had a great time. As a forklift driver my self, you do end up in situations where machinery just play up at times. Gotta do a little math with the Data Plate to see it's true safe lifting capacity. Hoonigan forklift, it's gotta be the only 1 in the world lol.

They already do illegal street races two blocks over from the new DDE HQ 😂 I would like to see them take their exotic cars vs street built cars
The shop I go to m45 and my tuner Snail raves about the FA 2.0 and now I understand why. Great breakdown! Thank you
