100%. Love this channel always, but moments like these i feel Derek is channeling George Carlin's idea that it is important not to give a shit. Revived a car for a specific purpose and tried to leave all the glory of that car on the rubber littered concrete.
I think he was waiting for there to be enough smoke for no one to see what he was doing what a showman I love Derrick I was waiting to see when he pulled it out there was enough red smoke in the car to where I could barely see it myself with first person view I loved it great comment
When he jumps out of the burning car, waving the flag and the crowd goes wild.... this was a preview of Derek becoming a star, and what Independence will be like! You are awesome fella! God bless you and thanks for being you!
@@ViceGripGarage I showed this video to my 70 year-old Mom. Told her about what state the car was in (we have a '72 LT-1) and she got goosebumps when the flag came out. She loved the roar of the crowd. That was beautiful.
Makes a feller choke up a bit. 'Specially a combat vet. THIS is what we fought for: freedom to live how we want, do what we love, say what we think, and worship who when where and how we see fit. Not for ourselves, but for the guy next to us, and families across the greatest land the world has ever seen. Millions have flocked to our shores for the promises laid down in the constitution and the endless opportunities of a free market. Anyone who says America is no good because of mistakes made along the way has just plain been lied to. God bless this battered old flag and the Republic for which it stands. Any man or woman American enough to show their love for this nation and for their fellow Americans in such unwaivering and unconditional terms as this, DESPITE the pile of grizzly turds this year has been for us all, is a first class citizen in my book and I would be honored to call them "friend" and "neighbor." That is all.
It means a lot to a fella seeing you pull out Ol’ Glory and hold’er high like you did. A person doesn’t see a whole lot of public displays of patriotism nowadays. Very much appreciated! Sincerely, a United States Veteran ✊🇺🇸🦅
Thank you for your service sir. As a type 1 diabetic since 9 years old, a life of service sadly wasn't even an option for me. I'm so glad there's guys like you around!
Damn I feel more patriotic towards USA than my own country yet I have never been to the USA. Had a tear come to my eye watching that American flag wave as you got outta that "vet.Cheers and thanks VGG,
Agreed. When Derek pulled out the big flag, have to admit - that was pretty awesome. Not many countries allow the freedoms that y'all have in America. Certainly makes me want to leave the People's Republic of Canada in my rearview mirror.
Everytime I comment on one of his posts I always thank him and I thank the family for sharing him with us. People don't realize the hours and hours it takes to edit stuff properly. He can have over 6 hrs editing a 20 minute video, plus a 40hr week job, taking kids to school, after school stuff, family matters, etc. Folks just don't understand then wanna get on here and fuss. I've enjoyed watching him since about the 80k sub mark. I Absolutely respect him and his family.
That was great. I was cheering you on! Good call on those Auzzy red tires! Someone said in background after fire was out.. "it's a Chevy it'll start" was classic. Enjoyed that much!
Honestly Derek, this was the best story of barnyard to burnout pad I've ever seen. This series was amazing brother, and I seriously hope that everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!
I've been bingeing VGG since I first discovered it on the tube a few days ago.."I don't know" 😁 being an Aussie stuck in winter time Russia it's really bringing the smile to the dial keep up the awesomeness Derek
That was the best burn out I have ever seen. The red smoke was over the top, and then you brought out our flag. I can't tell you how proud that makes me feel. American flag, Chevy Corvette, how can you wrong with that? Lol lol. I am X Marine, so our flag always gets to my heart. Way to go Derrick. Many thanks to you and your family for doing what you do best. Best video ever!!!!!!!!
Who didn't have a lump in their throat and a tear in their eye when Derek brought out Old Glory and kept feedin' 'er the onions? If you didn't well you're just not a real American! Hot dogs, Baseball, Apple Pie and Chevrolet!
Thank you for your service Im a sole surviving son so the military was never a concern of mine but I do appreciate the men and women who offer up their lives to make America free and I do think more military men and women need to go into politics
That's what being an American is all about. The freedom to go across the country pick up an old car fix it and do the most bad ass burn out of all time. All the while meeting new people having fun and holding the flag. GOOD JOB BUDDY. GOOD JOB.
Man you are quite impressive. You work hard to hide your skill set but on a video series like this one, your competence is screaming. Really impressive
I was tearing up on "madder than a mosquito at a mannequin store" don't know where you come up with this stuff but I love it.loved the flag waive at the end.
When i saw the end of the flag pole before he went out i was thinking...thats not safe to have a pole just laying there like that lol. God Bless you Sir, brought a tear to my eye.
World: What's it like to be an American? Americans: Ever do a red burnout in an old Corvette you pulled out of a feild till it catches fire, then just keep going?

that one was good. i just turned 60 and got a wild hair to buy a complete 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee from a junk yard for $450. hauled it home and there found out the ONLY thing wrong with it was the fuel pump was out..... $30 later it is an everyday driver. interior was great. outside body was 98.9 straight. WOW.... now my daughter wants to go find one and guess what, there it was solid black Pontiac fiero and 100% complete and motor turns over.
I have to say, Derek, you literally put tears in my eyes. Even had to grab a gulp of air. My brother Derek Bothern is a life Army guy. I'm as proud of you and this video as I am of him. My deepest thanks to you and Jessica for all the work you do. You are my heroes!!!!
My son came running down stairs saying new episode was out and asked if he could watch while his teacher reads to them in a separate window.... Does it make me a bad parent to say yes? Lol
This is what is so great about TH-cam and VGG. We get to ride along and participate and it doesn't cost us anything and we don't have to get under any rusted, chunks in the eyes, motorvators.
Derek, can’t stop smiling watching the Vette in the burnout competition. You did an incredible job prepping that car, and the smoke show was the best. Thanks man. As always, YOU are the best. Big Al.
That was “fire of joy” that Vette has been wanting to do a burnout like that since it was born! Your just out there making dreams come true..The eagles were flying and the tires were crying....good stuff!!
This had to be a stressful one for VGG, working all the way up to the last minute, and he still got it done!! Congrats, and take a week or 2 off on us, you earned it!
Back in the mid-60's my Dad's '65 Chevy had a recall for defective motor mounts. The factory solution was to attach an airplane cable type, of setup around the motor mounts to prevent the engine from lifting when you gunned the throttle when making a left turn. On some cars, the throttle would lock in full throttle position and the car would go out of control. Nice to see you reverting to '60's technology.
Yes , I've seen that on several '67 - '69 camaro's . One end attached to the through bolt and the other end on the chassis . I believe that was on 327 and 350 engines . Don't know what was done for 396 or Copo and Yenko 427 cars though . At some point , all manufactures had to do away with rod linkage and use flexible cable for accelerator linkage . Yeah , that was a real problem !
I have to admit, when you started to feed her the onions I got a smile on my face from ear to ear that didnt go away till well after you stopped...and bringing the American flag out kinda choked a guy up a bit....thank you!!
I seriously don't think there could be anymore BADASSERY ANYWHERE on TH-cam!!! This video content is what makes Vice Grip Garage THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT on the internet !!!!!!!!!!!
I can just imagine that poor ole vette sitting in the field , saying to it's self . Man I once was a head turner , but I guess I'll just drown and rust away in this field . When a man from VGG gave her a once over and said . I think she's got some more to give . With a lot of work and a little this and that . He put her center stage caring old glory , revving her engine , skinin her tires to a cheering crowd .
DERICK I'm 50 yrs old went through 7 reconstructive surgeries since my motorcycle accident march 16th last yr im slower than molasses all the time but wgen I see a new showed yours pop up on my phone I'm like a hack rabbit grabbing a guys cold snack of 30 an hitting ur channel an thst American flag an shirt never a better moment than that brother you know how to make a guys heart jump to life with excitment your tge best I hope them youngins of yours turn out to follow there fathers footsteps your one of the few goid guys in this country please keep em coming an us youtubers will keep supportin ya ol buddy

I got absolute chills when you stepped out with that flag. That was the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. There was more freedom in that burnout than I’ve ever witnessed. Dereks a total badass and I hope to get to meet a fella one day🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏼
Beautiful Derek! Love the way the family works together and you take time to tell the young man what you’re doing. Reminds me of times spent with my dad and grandad. Gold stars friend.
I thought there was something wrong with me when I started tearing up, but after reading the comments I wasn't the only one. Keep up the great videos. You are a natural entertainer and I look forward to every new video.
Ditto! I was proud to watch this video - Given our current environment it is good to see a patriot that loves our country. Did he say it? No, but you can tell
Not being an American, when he pulled the flag out I actually yelled ffs. Spoiler, Er I kinda guessed your nationality by your accent and the cat your driving.
I'm Canadian but I agree that was my favourite part when he put the flag out the window and jumped out with it. Love how patriotic he is. That's nice to see. As a long haul driver I've spent alot of time in the US and I always admire how most houses have an American flag out front :)
@@kenroberts6167 Thank you Ken. That's nice to hear. Also, thank you for keeping things going for everyone by doing your job. So many don't realize how screwed we'd be without you guys.
Simply awesome! Thank you for your time! Also wonderful to see how supportive your family and friends are of you! Seeing Jamie standing behind is pretty freaking awesome and relationship goals!
Derek, this makes me so proud to be an American and a USAF Veteran!!!! When I saw the USA flag, I got chills and I had tears in my eyes !!! God Bless America!!!!!
I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face during the entire burnout. Loved the in-car cam too! Great stuff Derek and I learned a ton watching you prep this car for the show. Well done Sir!!
I laughed my ass off the entire time that you burned them off! Didn't it occur to you that the nylon ratchet strap may melt and burn on a hot engine? That's the first thing I thought when I saw it. Ratchet straps and aircraft cable.... priceless!
Awesome, I watched all three videos. My 67 Mustang that was candy apple red with a black vinyl top was easy to work on. It had a 289 HP with the K on the block. It had 271 HP from the factory I added an edelbrock intake and headers. I got a deal at Usa Speed shop on a Holly 780 double pumper. Everyone said it was to big, but it screamed! I always cussed and swore and lost tools too. As long as they don't land down in the motor,
Freaking awesome dude! And yes I'm 56 years old and just said that. What a fantastic series, love the Corvette, miss my Stingray, and only you can catch a Corvette on fire and get back in. You're like the Energizer battry, you just keep going and going.
Man this was a great video, Derek! It brings a tear to a guys eye thinking about the feller who put all that work into the car before he passed away. I'm thinkin he'd be real proud of you giving her a second chance at life and giving it ALL the beans!!
Watching your videos makes me less mad that I have to tear off the top end of my brand new stroker to fix a head gasket that didn’t hold because I just watched you do 3/4 of it from my couch 😂 Love the videos, definitely my favorite TH-cam channel. We’re alot alike lol

I loved the flag coming out too and born and bred in England!!
Brilliant 3 episodes and one of my favourite American cars!
that one was good. i just turned 60 and got a wild hair to buy a complete 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee from a junk yard for $450. hauled it home and there found out the ONLY thing wrong with it was the fuel pump was out..... $30 later it is an everyday driver. interior was great. outside body was 98.9 straight. WOW.... now my daughter wants to go find one and guess what, there it was solid black Pontiac fiero and 100% complete and motor turns over.
When the American flag popped out of the cab I gave out a (HELL YES)!!
You weren't alone.
“Gets higher than Willie Nelson”....and I just spit my wobble pop all over....Burns the old sniffer holes. Thanks
same here, snorted the ole cold snack right out those air holes!
Nice!!! I’m glad to see you didn’t waste a perfectly good strap by cutting the slack. That was perfect, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I have to say, Derek, you literally put tears in my eyes. Even had to grab a gulp of air. My brother Derek Bothern is a life Army guy. I'm as proud of you and this video as I am of him. My deepest thanks to you and Jessica for all the work you do. You are my heroes!!!!
awesome man
Glad I’m not the only one who got emotional haha
My son came running down stairs saying new episode was out and asked if he could watch while his teacher reads to them in a separate window.... Does it make me a bad parent to say yes? Lol
no... no it doesn't LOL
Nope!!!
No not at all. Actually I think it makes you a better American.
I'm fairly cretin it makes you a better parent lol
Hell probably resent ya later in life,,,,, no he wont
The vette screamed "Feed me the onions!" And you gave it the entire garden.
@Jeff Kopis but i wasn't.......my nickname is onionman
America needs more of this. Everything good about this country is represented by this chanel! God bless America and VGG!
This is what is so great about TH-cam and VGG. We get to ride along and participate and it doesn't cost us anything and we don't have to get under any rusted, chunks in the eyes, motorvators.
I'm 69 years old and have been wrenching since I was 13 or 14 and I will say "You Are Best" thanks for your videos.
You had a houseful of people here cheering and clapping when you brought out Old Glory, Derek. 👍🇺🇸
Derek, can’t stop smiling watching the Vette in the burnout competition. You did an incredible job prepping that car, and the smoke show was the best. Thanks man. As always, YOU are the best. Big Al.
Brought tears to my eyes. Big thanks.
That was “fire of joy” that Vette has been wanting to do a burnout like that since it was born! Your just out there making dreams come true..The eagles were flying and the tires were crying....good stuff!!
That's great,,, Vicegrip garage where eagles fly n tires cry,,love these commenters
This had to be a stressful one for VGG, working all the way up to the last minute, and he still got it done!! Congrats, and take a week or 2 off on us, you earned it!
“Higher than Willie Nelson” laughed so hard I blew soda out my nose. It still burns
That made me far happier than I thought it would!
Back in the mid-60's my Dad's '65 Chevy had a recall for defective motor mounts. The factory solution was to attach an airplane cable type, of setup around the motor mounts to prevent the engine from lifting when you gunned the throttle when making a left turn. On some cars, the throttle would lock in full throttle position and the car would go out of control. Nice to see you reverting to '60's technology.
1968 chev impala conv 307. Dealer installed motor mount chain fix..
Lot of people crashed because they forgot to turn the key to off. Before the switch was moved to the steering column which locked the steering.
Yes , I've seen that on several '67 - '69 camaro's . One end attached to the through bolt and the other end on the chassis . I believe that was on 327 and 350 engines . Don't know what was done for 396 or Copo and Yenko 427 cars though . At some point , all manufactures had to do away with rod linkage and use flexible cable for accelerator linkage . Yeah , that was a real problem !
Jessica is a huge help. One good Woman.
Rick Rodriguez - Paul Zoulamis - G money : Thanks guys, I'd forgotten all about that ... brought back fond memories 😉
"I caught on fire. So I did the right thing, and did another burn out."
lol....The "RIGHT" Thing, That sounds like a political statement,,,Damn Straight
I have to admit, when you started to feed her the onions I got a smile on my face from ear to ear that didnt go away till well after you stopped...and bringing the American flag out kinda choked a guy up a bit....thank you!!
...Frigin..Luv it man.....Burp...
I seriously don't think there could be anymore BADASSERY ANYWHERE on TH-cam!!! This video content is what makes Vice Grip Garage THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT on the internet !!!!!!!!!!!
I can just imagine that poor ole vette sitting in the field , saying to it's self . Man I once was a head turner , but I guess I'll just drown and rust away in this field . When a man from VGG gave her a once over and said . I think she's got some more to give . With a lot of work and a little this and that . He put her center stage caring old glory , revving her engine , skinin her tires to a cheering crowd .
Red smoke, american flag and fire. Im gonna remember this one for a long time hahaha!!
The only youtube notifications I actually look forward to.
🤘🤘
"Its a Chevy. It'll start." Love it!
Hands down my favorite TH-cam personality of ALL TIME! Feed her ALL the onions!

I got absolute chills when you stepped out with that flag. That was the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. There was more freedom in that burnout than I’ve ever witnessed. Dereks a total badass and I hope to get to meet a fella one day🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏼
Ditto. I've got to meet this guy.
And the moment he raised it from the car and all patriots cheered! That was an amazing moment!
How do you figure that this is freedom? Warped sense of freedom
@@AyeCarumba221 don’t take things so literal pal
Yeah, I hope to meet Derek someday.
Beautiful Derek! Love the way the family works together and you take time to tell the young man what you’re doing. Reminds me of times spent with my dad and grandad. Gold stars friend.
Not gonna lie, a guy got emotional seeing that American Flag come shooting out the window and waving all majestically in the red smoke.
For real!
@@xMarkie ditto!!!
Yeah buddy
I ain't crying! I just got something in my eye
I'm not even American and I thought that was cool as XXXX. Well done Derrick
I thought there was something wrong with me when I started tearing up, but after reading the comments I wasn't the only one. Keep up the great videos. You are a natural entertainer and I look forward to every new video.
When the flag popped up I've got tears in my eyes . And I'm from freaking Poland.
Patriotism is beautiful anywhere! God Bless Poland!
Tosser.
Love the old school 3D glasses T-tops
I'm so happy for you! When you pulled the flag out....tears You made us proud Thanks Brother💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥😎😎💯💯
Ditto! I was proud to watch this video - Given our current environment it is good to see a patriot that loves our country. Did he say it? No, but you can tell
All of us proud indeed
When the flag popped out i actually yelled "HELL YEAH MERICA'"
Not being an American, when he pulled the flag out I actually yelled ffs. Spoiler, Er I kinda guessed your nationality by your accent and the cat your driving.
@@andrewmeadows2596 im canadian and when i seen that flag n shirt i yelled wooohoooo trump 2020
I'm Canadian but I agree that was my favourite part when he put the flag out the window and jumped out with it. Love how patriotic he is. That's nice to see. As a long haul driver I've spent alot of time in the US and I always admire how most houses have an American flag out front :)
@@kenroberts6167 Thank you Ken. That's nice to hear. Also, thank you for keeping things going for everyone by doing your job. So many don't realize how screwed we'd be without you guys.
@@Pantheragem Thanks, and your welcome. We've all got to stick together
Holy cow that was great. Derek you’re this ‘ole college kid’s hero. Make it count. Make sure your boys feel the same way.
Simply awesome! Thank you for your time! Also wonderful to see how supportive your family and friends are of you! Seeing Jamie standing behind is pretty freaking awesome and relationship goals!
Derek, this makes me so proud to be an American and a USAF Veteran!!!! When I saw the USA flag, I got chills and I had tears in my eyes !!!
God Bless America!!!!!
Not the only one!!
It was nice brother. I have a lot of buddies that went the ‘chair force’ route also 😂
God bless you all Americans! Always fight for your country and for what you believe!
Hell yeah brother! Let's hear it for Joe Biden, POTUS 46!!!
That was the best most insane burnout I’ve ever seen. Never knew they made a tire that would smoke a color. Loved it.
Thanks Stan
Catches Fire..Dome light Works..Restarts
👏👏👏FREAKIN AWESOME THANK U!!
I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face during the entire burnout. Loved the in-car cam too! Great stuff Derek and I learned a ton watching you prep this car for the show. Well done Sir!!
I laughed my ass off the entire time that you burned them off! Didn't it occur to you that the nylon ratchet strap may melt and burn on a hot engine? That's the first thing I thought when I saw it. Ratchet straps and aircraft cable.... priceless!
Depression is real Derek is one of the cures thank you if there was ever a day I needed this it's today
As a Veteran this made me smile like crazy. Good job Derek!
Awesome, I watched all three videos. My 67 Mustang that was candy apple red with a black vinyl top was easy to work on. It had a 289 HP with the K on the block. It had 271 HP from the factory I added an edelbrock intake and headers. I got a deal at Usa Speed shop on a Holly 780 double pumper. Everyone said it was to big, but it screamed! I always cussed and swore and lost tools too. As long as they don't land down in the motor,
17:40 fire!!! Derek: thats factory...
correction: factree
Freaking awesome dude! And yes I'm 56 years old and just said that. What a fantastic series, love the Corvette, miss my Stingray, and only you can catch a Corvette on fire and get back in. You're like the Energizer battry, you just keep going and going.
Man this was a great video, Derek! It brings a tear to a guys eye thinking about the feller who put all that work into the car before he passed away. I'm thinkin he'd be real proud of you giving her a second chance at life and giving it ALL the beans!!
He did a great job
My dad was a Marine and had a 76 L-82 Stingray. This brought tears to my eyes! (Allergies)
Watching your videos makes me less mad that I have to tear off the top end of my brand new stroker to fix a head gasket that didn’t hold because I just watched you do 3/4 of it from my couch 😂
Love the videos, definitely my favorite TH-cam channel. We’re alot alike lol
