  • I'm happy nobody was hurt! That is something i cannot stress enough. The cars can be replaced but people cannot. Thank you to everyone that stayed and was concerned. Thank you to the professional CHP officers that responded to the scene. Thank you to MrC's Towing. And of course thank you to my friends that always cheer me up after a loss like this. I loved the 720 GTR. I put my heart into that build and I hope its not a total loss. Thanks for all your support DDEFAM. Much Love!

      For what he did, yes he handled it well, really well. Better than most would have. But then everyone needs to get out of the road. If everyone is good and safe get back in your vehicles and help keep traffic moving and let the police do their job instead of playing guessing games when you were 15 cars back and just want to be a part of it. If it didn’t involve you and everything is good then don’t make the situation more dangerous.

    Damn! Can’t even put into words how heartbroken I am over the 720 GTR and it’s not even my car!! Really feel for DDE and Gintani. As a long time subscriber, we all know how much time and effort has gone into the project. I really hope it’s fixable and not too much of a headache for all of you guys involved. I’m happy everyone is okay, Damon and Dave always show class when it gets serious and I’m super proud to be a DDE supporter when I see stuff
    Like that. Cheers guys wishing you all the best.

    Important lessons to learn from this video:
    Drive responsibly; when you enter a motorway/freeway do not floor the pedal if your car is powerful, anything can come in front of you.
    If the person is illegally entering your lane (passing the solid line or passing the box) and comes in front of you, brake carefully (let go of your gas pedal, emergency brake if the person brakes hard) to make space.
    Unless the person is lying and attempting fraud, remain calm and be nice.
    Always check the person in the accident before checking your car, the person's life can be in serious danger.
    Regardless whether the car is repairable or not, always be optimistic and hope it can be repaired.

    I will say, I am impressed with Damon's attitude and how he handled this. Very impressed.

    I think what happened with the young guy was that the shock of what happened wore off and all of his emotions came out. He's definitely not a malicious guy, just made a mistake and mistakes happen.

      You’re definitely right, I think that was the young man crying in that one clip

      Hes crying because he knows his insurance is going to skyrocket after being stupid and rear ending a very expensive car . He will also be lucky if he doesnt get sued..theres mistakes which are unavoidable then there are things that just should not happen if people use the brains.

      @@redstang70 I don't think he was being stupid, it was a blind crest and there was a black car cutting him off from the right side too and he was probably focusing on that car cutting into his lane and not paying attention to the cars braking ahead of him.

    Not surprise at how chill Damon is... but im always impressed by his attitude to life and material things... I know he's upset about the accident but life is the greatest thing here... happy everyone is OK... though I still would suggested getting a checkup...

      I agree with getting a check up if for no other reason everything is on medical record. In my vehicle I got hit crushed and dragged a couple hundred feet up against a concrete highway divider by a tractor trailer auto hauler. When I was finally able to get out of my vehicle I felt basically OK, I went to the hospital by ambulance anyway to be checked. It was 2 days later I was back in emergency in huge pain from the high level of soft tissue damage and whip lash. It takes time for some injuries to fully be known. 5 years almost to the day and my neck and shoulders are still not the same as before the accident.

    With all the fun and games, I have grown to love and respect Damon as a man. He understands more than most his influence. I am so glad he and the couple are okay. Excited to see what he does now. DDE for life.
