This is it guys. Just wanted to TRY and let you guys know where I was coming from. Many might agree, many may not but it is what it is at this point. There’s TOO MUCH information I wasn’t able to cram in or forgot to express but trust me on this. I feel like I did the right thing OVERALL. Love yall man see you next week 🤝🏼 SURPRISING MY FRIENDS WITH MY NEW MACH 1 MUSTANG!! 🤯 th-cam.com/video/i2Y4uAcEbrA/w-d-xo.html
You did the right thing Derek. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, the fact that you decided not to press charges for damage to YOUR car is all your decision alone. I also agree that she learned her lesson with seeing the potential consequenses with not only her actions but the people that surround her. All in all man you're a good person and hope the best for you 👍
I gave you a bad comment a couple days ago. I saw your video earlier and saw what you said about the negative comments. I was just giving my opinion on the situation. Just so you know I’m living in my 5th house that I have bought on my own. My parents haven’t paid for anything. I’ve been on my job 22 years.
My best suggestion is that since it was the daughter's actions that caused the damages to the paint, you should offer the dad to have her get a fast food/retail job to pay off the damages she did. She has a whole summer, so she could work 30+ hours a week to pay it off. It would be a good life lesson for her to pay for her actions. Edit: to the responders saying that she is young or in school. I’m 19, not in high school like she is. My classes are way harder in college, and when I was in high school, I had a part-time job and worked full-time in the summer. She is studying for finals in this vid, so she is about to have 2 months of free time which is more than enough time to get a job working in a grocery store or in a sit-down or fast food restaurant, so I don’t wanna see anymore boohoos about her not needing to work because of age. Also, to those who think her summer free time will be taken from her, oh well. Its called being responsible and handling your problems especially if you caused them. If she hadn’t thrown an egg at a car, then she wouldn’t have to lose some of her summer break free time(if the parents had made her get a job)
About ten years ago I was driving my 12 year old Honda cr v home down our main blvd. at about 30mph when some gangbanger punk launched an 🥚 from his apt balcony, it slammed smashing into the front passenger side door spreading obliterated 🥚 debris along the side of the vehicle. I drove directly to the nearby Shell Station's drive-thru car wash. Cost me $20 for two washes. Thankfully, there was no damage, dent, nor chips in the paint. (Our two 2+ decade old Hondas have very good paint.) Apparently the perpetrator(s)thought the prank🎃 was humorous 🤡until they were arrested. 🤔
Depends on the angle honestly, you can throw an egg and as long as it’s the long way up it’s really hard to crack lol mother nature made it this way so when the mother bird sit on them they don’t break.
@@Unique_Racing I had a one week old Toyota Tacoma that was the victim of an egg 🥚 being thrown. It left the exact outline of the egg on the hood with parts within that shape that were chipped right down to the metal. 😞😞😞
I applaud you for the way you've handled the entire situation. Your compassion is a trait that is greatly missing in today's society. The world could definitely use more like you. Bravo, man!
17 years old is old enough to get a part time job and pay you herself instead of her dad or brother covering her mistake. That would teach her a real life lesson and show she can’t just throw a fit and have it fixed by others or get away with it. She just got off free. She learned absolutely nothing except crying gets me out of trouble
You showed mercy to someone who’s life could have instantly been changed. The whole families life for that matter. Honestly that’s some next level respect..
The father sounds a hell of a lot better then his kid. Hope she learned something from her actions and thinks about not doing something stupid again. You on the other hand are the kind of people that this world needs more of..
Kinda common unfortunately. If I had to guess it’s an immigrant family. Parents usually work really hard and the number 1 goal is to get the kids into a good and good career. Then hopefully the kid then helps support the family. Unfortunately that can create a kid that was born in the US and has never had to struggle like the parents did. Aka they can grow up to be a spoiled brat.
Yes I respect what he did for the dad/family. But he did nothing for the spoiled entitled brat. This situation reinforced her belief that she can do whatever she wants and there are no repercussions. She egged a beautiful car. Caused damage. And gets to walk away free and clear. They should have agreed that the daughter gets a fast food job or something like that and pays him off little by little with each paycheck.
It's always a story worth sharing when all parties involved can be proper adults and walk away with respect. Great job. Nice rides. And congrats on your partnership. Well done!
I've always thought you are mature beyond your years. Compassion is something sadly lacking in many people these days, but you have it in abundance. You're a good man, Derek, don't ever change.
That was the devil testing you my bro. You didn't fall for it. I agree 100%. You worked WAY too damn hard to allow this situation to reverse your momentum. Been following you for years and the way you handled this situation is exactly why I stay subscribed. Respect man 💯
During these hard times for so many families, you are a truly good young man. I know it wasn't an easy decision, but you did the right thing for that dad and his family.
You're a good man for doing what you did for that family. I love seeing people put themselves behind to make sure people having a hard time. You really are an amazing human being.
Bro I just ran across your channel today. After hearing this and what you did I can’t help but to subscribe to your channel. With the way the world is today and how angry people are, you showed compassion and empathy. Even though you had every right to file charges and make them pay you took the Godly road. You will forever be blessed because you didn’t step on somebody who was already down. I can’t do nothing but respect that and celebrate you homie. You definitely gained a subscriber in me and will be watching your videos so keep them coming. I will make sure to go back and watch your older videos also 💪🏾
That is what I did. I ran across The Egging of The Mach Video a couple of days ago, and this one popped up a few minutes ago. Derek is a good man, and I HAD to subscribe! The World would be a better place if more people were like him. I’m not one of them; Derek is a better man than I am.
I was kind of hoping that this video would end with ( since this incident lead you to greater things happening in your life) with you giving) the dad back the 1000 dollars
@@DC-bm7oz I was on his side until the end when he didn't get the car fixed as per estimate, most likely got it done free, money should go back to struggling family.
I know everyone has a opinion and that’s fair but the way you handled this in the end got my attention. You showed real heart and compassion in the face of getting vandalized and you earned my respect with the way you handle yourself and my subscription. I know it probably doesn’t mean much but people can be really shitty these days and there isn’t many like you out there. Keep up the hard work and I hope god continues to bless you and your family. You are a good person and it shows. I’m glad I found your channel. 👍✌️
I just subscribed to your channel because of how you handled this situation. Like others have said, your compassion is over the top and the world could use more people like you.
I watch you on Roku so I don't comment...but I had to pick up my phone and give you the kudos you deserve...You young man (I'm 72) are a light in this darkness surrounding us. Your heart and integrity gave me a lift. I thank you.
Absolutely earned yourself another subscriber you handled that better than almost anyone I know would have. really a stand up thing to do really amazing to see there’s still good peoples out there your an amazing dude I hope the girl learned a lesson
ay bro. i paused the video at 11:00 to just come share my opinion. obviously, it sucks that you end up having to pay most of the repairs. but, i have so much respect for you for doing that. life is hard and you never know what people are going through. i find it awesome that you were able to see their situation and understand that you can bless them by accepting his offer. it shows the kind of character you have and that at the end of the day its not about money its about doing the right thing. God bless you bro ❤
When I was telling my son about your video I actually said to him that I felt you handled the situation very well. I didn’t feel you yelled at all. I commend you, great job
As a felon I'll commend you for being kind enough to consider not ruining her life,not to mention handling the situation the way you did! You were a lot nicer then I think I could've been.
That was an expensive egg wasn’t it? Hope she grows from this and learns to respect the property of others and that her actions can affect others and her family.
Always tell myself whenever something bad happens. “Everything happens for a reason” in my opinion, you did the right thing and I can appreciate you for that. Mistakes happen. If that happened to me, I’d be mad but I can’t but someone in a deep hole trying to support their family at a young age. Yes, she’s 17 and should have common sense but, it’s a learning lesson.
Your a great guy bud, a stand up guy. Just glad that your car is getting fixed, so sorry that you had to go through this. From a mustang guy to an other, you are family. I cant wait until you hit a million subscribers
Hey Derek, i’ve been watching your videos for the past 6 years ever since redo blue back when I wanted an sn95, now I have a 2014 GT ruby red, thanks to your content. It really is nice to see someone I completely don’t know. Do good at life and progress like you have.
I applaud you for being the bigger person yet holding them accountable to some extent. Life is tuff, but we all have to be accountable. Dad should make his daughter work it off during her summer break.
I agree with everything you did, especially not having it painted and re-stickered, it never would have looked as good as factory, I’m happy to see you make so many great decisions at your age..you’re a very respectable and moral individual, and will be making sure I’m watching and liking every video you upload from now on..
@@PaintSociety yup I’ve had several cars painted over the years, it’s 50/50 for me, never had a new car painted, I would be nervous, and it would de-value the car..
If you’re in the fortunate position of having more than you need, build a longer table, not a taller fence ❤ well done my man. What you did shows strength of character and compassion. Don’t stop being you.
I owned a body shop and been restoring classic to, my man U did the right thing by touching it up u wouldn’t be happy with painting the car .painters come close but can never match that OEM paint . Happy to hear it worked out …
The first cut is the deepest esp. this is a day old Mach 1. My cars been egged before, it doesn't matter what kind - it hurts my feeling and the paint damage was substantial. You're correct, those who disagreen have been spoonfed! I admire this young man handling the situation to the end, mad props to you, brother!
I never saw your vids before, some reason youtube sent me a link. I just have to say you are a really decent human, who has not let ego and money go to his head. Thank you on behalf of us struggling families, for your kindness. From ON Canada.
Sometimes the worst things can turn into great things.. at least you have a relationship with your neighbors where there’s a basic understanding of respect
I'm really glad you decided to help that struggling dad for a dumb decision his "kid" made. Honestly, any financial/legal action you could've taken on them would have been 100% justifiable. I'll keep your message i picked up today at heart, and if i ever come across a similar situation, I'll definitely keep an open considerate mind. Much love from Texas
You definitely did the right thing. This shows how much of a stand up guy you are. Not draining the family of their money is another big thing. You have become one of my favorite TH-camrs by far. I mean it’s a dream to be where you are at with a boosted s197, which I have, just not a v8. You are honestly very inspiring.
Congrats on the repairs! Don't ever be ashamed about doing acts of kindness! You can always hold your head up high when it feels right in your heart! Keep it up brother..
Watched the original video yesterday, seen the update today. I am now going to subscribe now, you are the embodiment of the an upstanding good citizen.
You handled the whole situation very maturely and I am proud. Quite honestly if I heard about their situation and their struggles and I had no doubt the father was lying I don’t know if I could take any money at all from them. I know it’s easier said than done being in a position where it’s not my vehicle but my heart just couldn’t take it. Back in 2017 I had purchased a brand new 2017 Mustang GT. Some asshole scraped my new white car while it was parked with his pos green honda accord with bent fenders and bumpers. He completely got away with it and I never got him while all I got was chipped paint and green scratches all along my fender. These things happen and people are fucking assholes but I think what truly matters are your own actions and not what others do to you. I would’ve gave back that money just bc providing for a family is hard but that’s only what I would do. Congrats on the new mustang Derek you deserved it and thank you for handling it without escalation.
yeah as fucked up as it sounds i wouldn’t pay a dime of my own money, maybe, i would pay to get it fixed if they didn’t have the money at the time but 100% expect to get my money back
This is a wonderful story! There's people who would use this as a way to screw people over! I hope the 17 year old girl learned from this ! It's nice to hear something good and positive. For the father I hope he has found work that he can be proud of! Being jobless sucks it can be the lowest point in someone's life ! Although the girl caused damage to your vehicle you chose to have a heart I hope other people who watch your video are inspired! It made me smile!
I had my brand new van vandalized about 2 months ago. The van cost me 100 g. I was in the van while the man was damaging my van. He went to the hospital before jail. Your a better man than me for staying calm. That dad would have been punched in the mouth. Good on you for staying calm.
You're a good dude. Don't know if I'm into your vids but I clicked a like and subscribed. I once did a full restoration on a '68 MGB GT. This included a full replacement of the interior with custom hand-stitched leather seats. 3 days after I got the car finished, my six-year-old son was sitting in the passenger seat and after a 30 minute drive I discovered that my son had used a ball point pen to poke about 50 holes in the new seat. It was just a mindless thing. He didn't have any understanding and it certainly wasn't deliberate vandalism in the true sense. There's a feeling that you get in your gut when you just gotta eat and swallow a loss. Its very difficult when you're super pissed and there is nothing to target and no recourse. You have my respect sir and if you ever have kids, don't leave ball point pens laying around.
Props to you for showing some sympathy for the family. I know for SURE I would have been pissed too but I also would hate for a struggling family to have to fix the mistake of an immature kid. Props
@@chrisfreimiller4878 17 through 85 bro, we all need grace in the face of one another and we just witnessed it in real time. It was a great call and I pray her heart has been changed in this situation and leave it there.
Speaking to the "working hard to be able to afford something" point. People give TH-camrs crap for not "really" working for their money. All I say is TRY IT! Try to make weekly content that people actually want to watch, and advertisers want to be associated with. Not just for a month. For a year. Good luck. I have so much respect the TH-cam grind. This format is the future of entertainment. Thank you Derek for putting yourself out there.
I'm 40 and it took me a lot longer to be grateful for all my blessings in life. Good for you buddy that attitude will serve you so well and you're gonna have a happy happy life
Respect for being compassionate to them man. Tbh if you wanted the kid to learn a life lesson should’ve made a deal with the parents to have her wash the car every weekend. Teach her how to clean it properly which gives her a life skill and also makes her do some form of service as a lesson of consequences for her actions.
agreed. I really hope she does, cause I still feel bad for the dad losing $1000 because of her emotional moment. Could have been much worse for him, but that still hurts a lot when you're living month to month.
@@jjc032681 ,I know what you mean, it is hard to raise children with integrity in the age we are living in. I imagine the father was so appalled by what happened.
Hey Derek I’m not a person who subscribes to anyone on the tube. I have watched your channel off and on for years because of your love for mustangs. I’m 46 years old and you showed a lot of restraint and maturity brother. Young man I’m proud of you and happy for your success. Congratulations my man on your marriage and stay up and positive. Beautiful cars bro. Oh yea. New Subscriber!
NGL, the first video made me think you're a good dude. You handled it alot like I would have and you're a compassionate guy like myself. This second video got you a new sub... Cudos on being a good person in this world.
@@DerekBaranProductions not a good excuse to be soft. You just got egged and you took it. If being the bigger person means being a door Matt I’m good 💯
When I was 16, I did something very similar. Me and a couple of my friends were being 16 year old idiots and threw eggs at a really cool custom rod parked in a driveway. We got caught and the owner was super pissed, but showed a lot of the same compassion you did to that girl. Fortunately, the eggs caused no damage, but our punishment was that we were given buckets of soapy water, sponges and towels and had to clean the car from top to bottom that night. We were up until about 3AM and had to call our parents to explain why we were out so late. Never threw another egg.
Stay Blessed Man! Its so hard not to take revenge and make that families situation from bad to worst, but I commend you on how you handled the situation.
Man Dude you are the man. Wow. That made my day. Wow. God bless you. I have bad days and just watching your vids all these years has helped me. Thanks much
Derek. You are truly blessed. Be a huge man and give the family that is hurting financially the $1000 dollars back. The young lady has learnt her lesson.
Respect to you Dereck. I just found your channel yesterday and watched the videos about the Mach 1 incident. Your message resonated with me and you now have another subscriber. Keep up the good work.
I have to say that you my friend are a side effect of honesty, integrity, and great character, awsome job you are quite genuine man with much standing, good job you are awsome
I watched the original vandalism video and I thought you were totally reasonable with how you spoke to them. Watching the update confirmed it, you were more than fair, well done. Nice to see you in lovely cars, the type of big engine cars we don’t have in the U.K. 🇬🇧. Thanks for sharing, subbed to you straight away.
New to the Mustang community and stumbled across your channel. Great content and wow how humbly and calmy you handled the situation with your neighbors. Earned a sub. Keep it up man.
Good for you dude! I hope amazing things keep happening to you, such an uplifting video, i think most people and relate and have been on both sides of this predicament and i think you handled it like an adult should! Keep up the good work!
The way you handled the situation has gained you a new subscriber. So nice too see a levelheaded TH-camr in the car community. Definitely looking forward to watching more of your content!
Wow - they did an incredible job with the repair. You LITERALLY cannot see it. I have clinically diagnosed OCD and I would honestly be cool with the level of the repair. I would still know it's there but even with my issues, I think my obsession with it would subside fairly quickly. You have a good friend. I took my Ram TRX to a "premium" detailer in PA - they ripped the drip trims off the top of the truck and chipped it in the process. They said they would fix it and literally all they did was drop an ugly glob of touch-up paint on it and call it a day. I hassled them and talked to like 50 shops and I was really pushing them on the idea that the type of repair in your video could be done - but nobody would do it. I was so sick over the situation (and the cost of gas last the time) that I sold the truck at a small profit and put it behind me. Your boy hooked you up.
I'm surprised you kept the 1K and didn't give it back, seeing as how you are so blessed and god is so merciful. Your channel came across my feed. Be salt.
You're a good, level headed guy. You get it. I am 68 and finally figuring out what you already know about life. God Bless you. You can be my neighbor anytime!
Egg will eat through clear coat along with staining paint, thankfully you were there when it happened and got it off your car. She needed a good talking to and i dont think she was going to get it from her parents.
You have a really big heart, and was able to see the big picture with their circumstance, much respect, what she did was wrong, hopefully this is a life lesson for her, we all have had them
Just watched this and you can be proud. Just as you said 8 years ago your temper would have made your reaction different, this girl just reacted out of anger and was wrong. You are also right in that the wrong behavior is on her, not her dad. He is holding the bag for his daughter's actions. In the end, you are doing well and gratitude is the right thing. The $1000 will be felt by this family and the daughter learns a hard lesson, but they will survive and hopefully everyone can walk away from this with something. You did good I think. Working it out so they didn't break will come back to you in positive ways. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s amazing how much damage a high speed egg does to paint! It causes a circular paint chip pattern! Most people are unaware of the damage a egg causes, which I assume the girl didn’t know the egg would chip the paint! Still no excuse to not take responsibility for her actions!
I turn 37 in soon and I swear from 24 to 37 has been a FLASH. But I can say I remember the first time I didn't go straight to anger and I was actually proud of myself....good on you man
I don't think a lot of people realize just how bad an egg can mess up your paint...always leaves that circular pattern of damage. I had my car hit by 5 eggs less than a week after repainting my car. Every single one left that exact same type of damage you show here....something about that egg shell man, when it shatters it hurts the paint for real.... Glad your ride is fixed.
Years ago my just-repaired and repainted car was egged by vandals while we were in the movies. The egg ruined the fresh paint. I don’t blame you for being angry and commend you for staying cool. Good luck.
Just saw your first vid and it was the egg 🥚 video then I’m seeing this one and I like the way you think and hold yourself not many car TH-camrs seem like real people but you do finna start watching you since I been binge watching you vids all day !!

Good for you Derek. It might be Karma that it all worked out as far as the fantastic repair results.
My best suggestion is that since it was the daughter's actions that caused the damages to the paint, you should offer the dad to have her get a fast food/retail job to pay off the damages she did. She has a whole summer, so she could work 30+ hours a week to pay it off. It would be a good life lesson for her to pay for her actions.
Edit: to the responders saying that she is young or in school. I’m 19, not in high school like she is. My classes are way harder in college, and when I was in high school, I had a part-time job and worked full-time in the summer. She is studying for finals in this vid, so she is about to have 2 months of free time which is more than enough time to get a job working in a grocery store or in a sit-down or fast food restaurant, so I don’t wanna see anymore boohoos about her not needing to work because of age.

That is what I did. I ran across The Egging of The Mach Video a couple of days ago, and this one popped up a few minutes ago.
Derek is a good man, and I HAD to subscribe! The World would be a better place if more people were like him. I’m not one of them; Derek is a better man than I am.
I was kind of hoping that this video would end with ( since this incident lead you to greater things happening in your life) with you giving) the dad back the 1000 dollars
@@DC-bm7oz I was on his side until the end when he didn't get the car fixed as per estimate, most likely got it done free, money should go back to struggling family.
I know everyone has a opinion and that’s fair but the way you handled this in the end got my attention. You showed real heart and compassion in the face of getting vandalized and you earned my respect with the way you handle yourself and my subscription. I know it probably doesn’t mean much but people can be really shitty these days and there isn’t many like you out there. Keep up the hard work and I hope god continues to bless you and your family. You are a good person and it shows. I’m glad I found your channel. 👍✌️
I just subscribed to your channel because of how you handled this situation. Like others have said, your compassion is over the top and the world could use more people like you.
Me too.
I watch you on Roku so I don't comment...but I had to pick up my phone and give you the kudos you deserve...You young man (I'm 72) are a light in this darkness surrounding us. Your heart and integrity gave me a lift. I thank you.
Absolutely earned yourself another subscriber you handled that better than almost anyone I know would have. really a stand up thing to do really amazing to see there’s still good peoples out there your an amazing dude I hope the girl learned a lesson
ay bro. i paused the video at 11:00 to just come share my opinion. obviously, it sucks that you end up having to pay most of the repairs. but, i have so much respect for you for doing that. life is hard and you never know what people are going through. i find it awesome that you were able to see their situation and understand that you can bless them by accepting his offer. it shows the kind of character you have and that at the end of the day its not about money its about doing the right thing. God bless you bro ❤
Amen.💯
I think dude capping not trying Pay 3k he not slick
When I was telling my son about your video I actually said to him that I felt you handled the situation very well. I didn’t feel you yelled at all. I commend you, great job
As a felon I'll commend you for being kind enough to consider not ruining her life,not to mention handling the situation the way you did! You were a lot nicer then I think I could've been.
she's a juvie, it would be sealed shortly anyways.
That was an expensive egg wasn’t it? Hope she grows from this and learns to respect the property of others and that her actions can affect others and her family.
Derek, that feeling in your heart is a love for humanity. You’re a good man! Hope things get better for the neighbors.
Always tell myself whenever something bad happens. “Everything happens for a reason” in my opinion, you did the right thing and I can appreciate you for that. Mistakes happen. If that happened to me, I’d be mad but I can’t but someone in a deep hole trying to support their family at a young age. Yes, she’s 17 and should have common sense but, it’s a learning lesson.
Your a great guy bud, a stand up guy. Just glad that your car is getting fixed, so sorry that you had to go through this. From a mustang guy to an other, you are family. I cant wait until you hit a million subscribers
Hey Derek, i’ve been watching your videos for the past 6 years ever since redo blue back when I wanted an sn95, now I have a 2014 GT ruby red, thanks to your content. It really is nice to see someone I completely don’t know. Do good at life and progress like you have.
You're a good guy Derek. Keep up the good work and let this be a learning experience for all parties involved.
I applaud you for being the bigger person yet holding them accountable to some extent. Life is tuff, but we all have to be accountable. Dad should make his daughter work it off during her summer break.
I agree with everything you did, especially not having it painted and re-stickered, it never would have looked as good as factory, I’m happy to see you make so many great decisions at your age..you’re a very respectable and moral individual, and will be making sure I’m watching and liking every video you upload from now on..
Not true. Could have been perfect repainted by a professional
@@PaintSociety “could have been” the possibilities are endless..
@@NewEdgeDesigns right shop can make it perfect. Just gotta find them. It’s only paint
@@PaintSociety yup I’ve had several cars painted over the years, it’s 50/50 for me, never had a new car painted, I would be nervous, and it would de-value the car..
Sounds like you wanted to do the job lol
If you’re in the fortunate position of having more than you need, build a longer table, not a taller fence ❤ well done my man. What you did shows strength of character and compassion. Don’t stop being you.
I owned a body shop and been restoring classic to, my man U did the right thing by touching it up u wouldn’t be happy with painting the car .painters come close but can never match that OEM paint . Happy to hear it worked out …
The first cut is the deepest esp. this is a day old Mach 1. My cars been egged before, it doesn't matter what kind - it hurts my feeling and the paint damage was substantial. You're correct, those who disagreen have been spoonfed! I admire this young man handling the situation to the end, mad props to you, brother!
I never saw your vids before, some reason youtube sent me a link. I just have to say you are a really decent human, who has not let ego and money go to his head. Thank you on behalf of us struggling families, for your kindness. From ON Canada.
Sometimes the worst things can turn into great things.. at least you have a relationship with your neighbors where there’s a basic understanding of respect
I'm really glad you decided to help that struggling dad for a dumb decision his "kid" made. Honestly, any financial/legal action you could've taken on them would have been 100% justifiable. I'll keep your message i picked up today at heart, and if i ever come across a similar situation, I'll definitely keep an open considerate mind. Much love from Texas
Id say I'm struggling too if I had to pay $3k lmaoooooo
A blessing in disguise. Great work. You are and will continue to be blessed after such an altercation and doing what you did. Mad props.
You handled it right with compassion for the little brat. Whether she learns a lesson or not is up to her.
Don't ever feel bad about having a big heart. Sounds like a growth experience for everyone. Bless you brother.
Props to you man takes a lot to show sympathy like that. Not many would give them the break you did.
You definitely did the right thing. This shows how much of a stand up guy you are. Not draining the family of their money is another big thing. You have become one of my favorite TH-camrs by far. I mean it’s a dream to be where you are at with a boosted s197, which I have, just not a v8. You are honestly very inspiring.
Congrats on the repairs! Don't ever be ashamed about doing acts of kindness! You can always hold your head up high when it feels right in your heart! Keep it up brother..
Watched the original video yesterday, seen the update today. I am now going to subscribe now, you are the embodiment of the an upstanding good citizen.
You handled the whole situation very maturely and I am proud. Quite honestly if I heard about their situation and their struggles and I had no doubt the father was lying I don’t know if I could take any money at all from them.
I know it’s easier said than done being in a position where it’s not my vehicle but my heart just couldn’t take it.
Back in 2017 I had purchased a brand new 2017 Mustang GT. Some asshole scraped my new white car while it was parked with his pos green honda accord with bent fenders and bumpers. He completely got away with it and I never got him while all I got was chipped paint and green scratches all along my fender.
These things happen and people are fucking assholes but I think what truly matters are your own actions and not what others do to you. I would’ve gave back that money just bc providing for a family is hard but that’s only what I would do.
Congrats on the new mustang Derek you deserved it and thank you for handling it without escalation.
Big ups to you man id be pissed having to drop $2000 but you are grateful for what you got bro and thats why good things come your way
yeah as fucked up as it sounds i wouldn’t pay a dime of my own money, maybe, i would pay to get it fixed if they didn’t have the money at the time but 100% expect to get my money back
This is a wonderful story! There's people who would use this as a way to screw people over! I hope the 17 year old girl learned from this ! It's nice to hear something good and positive. For the father I hope he has found work that he can be proud of! Being jobless sucks it can be the lowest point in someone's life ! Although the girl caused damage to your vehicle you chose to have a heart I hope other people who watch your video are inspired! It made me smile!
I had my brand new van vandalized about 2 months ago. The van cost me 100 g. I was in the van while the man was damaging my van. He went to the hospital before jail.
Your a better man than me for staying calm. That dad would have been punched in the mouth.
Good on you for staying calm.
You're a good dude. Don't know if I'm into your vids but I clicked a like and subscribed. I once did a full restoration on a '68 MGB GT. This included a full replacement of the interior with custom hand-stitched leather seats. 3 days after I got the car finished, my six-year-old son was sitting in the passenger seat and after a 30 minute drive I discovered that my son had used a ball point pen to poke about 50 holes in the new seat. It was just a mindless thing. He didn't have any understanding and it certainly wasn't deliberate vandalism in the true sense. There's a feeling that you get in your gut when you just gotta eat and swallow a loss. Its very difficult when you're super pissed and there is nothing to target and no recourse. You have my respect sir and if you ever have kids, don't leave ball point pens laying around.
It always takes the bigger person to change a bad situation, total thumbs up on your character 👍👍👍
Hey Derek I know this is off topic from the situation though but your videos give me motivation to believe I will get a Mach 1 one day
Props to you for showing some sympathy for the family. I know for SURE I would have been pissed too but I also would hate for a struggling family to have to fix the mistake of an immature kid. Props
She's 17 not 7 she knows well enough so her or family would be 100% responsible
@@chrisfreimiller4878 17 through 85 bro, we all need grace in the face of one another and we just witnessed it in real time. It was a great call and I pray her heart has been changed in this situation and leave it there.
Speaking to the "working hard to be able to afford something" point. People give TH-camrs crap for not "really" working for their money. All I say is TRY IT! Try to make weekly content that people actually want to watch, and advertisers want to be associated with. Not just for a month. For a year. Good luck. I have so much respect the TH-cam grind. This format is the future of entertainment. Thank you Derek for putting yourself out there.
I'm 40 and it took me a lot longer to be grateful for all my blessings in life. Good for you buddy that attitude will serve you so well and you're gonna have a happy happy life
Respect for being compassionate to them man. Tbh if you wanted the kid to learn a life lesson should’ve made a deal with the parents to have her wash the car every weekend. Teach her how to clean it properly which gives her a life skill and also makes her do some form of service as a lesson of consequences for her actions.
Ain't no way id let a irresponsible teen like her touch my car. Think about how much accidental damage she would do.
I wouldn't have allowed her to touch my car. She probably would have installed swirl marks, as she isn't really invested in the car.
You’re a good man bro, you just gained another level of my respect 🙏🏽not everybody is grown but you just proved yourself
Hopefully she will have to work off the damage she did to your car and repay her parents! You have such a generous spirit, shows a true man of God!
agreed. I really hope she does, cause I still feel bad for the dad losing $1000 because of her emotional moment. Could have been much worse for him, but that still hurts a lot when you're living month to month.
@@jjc032681 ,I know what you mean, it is hard to raise children with integrity in the age we are living in. I imagine the father was so appalled by what happened.
Hey Derek I’m not a person who subscribes to anyone on the tube. I have watched your channel off and on for years because of your love for mustangs. I’m 46 years old and you showed a lot of restraint and maturity brother. Young man I’m proud of you and happy for your success. Congratulations my man on your marriage and stay up and positive. Beautiful cars bro. Oh yea. New Subscriber!
NGL, the first video made me think you're a good dude. You handled it alot like I would have and you're a compassionate guy like myself. This second video got you a new sub... Cudos on being a good person in this world.
Should have pressed charges. This is exactly why people like her do what they do cuz nobody holds them responsible. SMDH
The dad told me he was very upset with her and she was punished… chill out
@@DerekBaranProductions not a good excuse to be soft. You just got egged and you took it. If being the bigger person means being a door Matt I’m good 💯
@@OnePride313 haha “soft” but you probably weigh a good 130 soaking wet 😂 thats cute
I'd never put a felony on a 17 year old for an egg. He did the right thing.
@@danny208YT doing nothing is SOFT I’m sure she isn’t sorry. And now their whole family know derek SOFT like cottonelle. No lessons were learned
When I was 16, I did something very similar. Me and a couple of my friends were being 16 year old idiots and threw eggs at a really cool custom rod parked in a driveway. We got caught and the owner was super pissed, but showed a lot of the same compassion you did to that girl. Fortunately, the eggs caused no damage, but our punishment was that we were given buckets of soapy water, sponges and towels and had to clean the car from top to bottom that night. We were up until about 3AM and had to call our parents to explain why we were out so late. Never threw another egg.
Big heart bro. Good for you.
In my youth, it was guys like you that made me the adult I am today.
On behalf of guys that got saved by a compassionate adult, Thank You.
1st time viewer and will now follow.
Outstanding. Thank your folks cause they did well. God bless
Stay Blessed Man! Its so hard not to take revenge and make that families situation from bad to worst, but I commend you on how you handled the situation.
Man Dude you are the man. Wow. That made my day. Wow. God bless you. I have bad days and just watching your vids all these years has helped me. Thanks much
Derek. You are truly blessed. Be a huge man and give the family that is hurting financially the $1000 dollars back. The young lady has learnt her lesson.
amazing man!!! keep that stance,world needs more ppl like u!👏
Respect to you Dereck. I just found your channel yesterday and watched the videos about the Mach 1 incident. Your message resonated with me and you now have another subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Just ran across this video. Went back and saw the prior video of the incident. You have a new subscriber. Very honorable.
An overqualified engineer, lost his job, working DoorDash, can’t find a job in a time where the workforce is how thin? CAP. 🧢
I have to say that you my friend are a side effect of honesty, integrity, and great character, awsome job you are quite genuine man with much standing, good job you are awsome
I watched the original vandalism video and I thought you were totally reasonable with how you spoke to them. Watching the update confirmed it, you were more than fair, well done. Nice to see you in lovely cars, the type of big engine cars we don’t have in the U.K. 🇬🇧. Thanks for sharing, subbed to you straight away.
New to the Mustang community and stumbled across your channel. Great content and wow how humbly and calmy you handled the situation with your neighbors. Earned a sub. Keep it up man.
Good for you dude! I hope amazing things keep happening to you, such an uplifting video, i think most people and relate and have been on both sides of this predicament and i think you handled it like an adult should! Keep up the good work!
I’m from Va to. Good on you for helping teach someone a lesson that should have been common knowledge.
Bravo sir! Really went above and beyond. Keep it up bro 🤙
The way you handled the situation has gained you a new subscriber. So nice too see a levelheaded TH-camr in the car community. Definitely looking forward to watching more of your content!
Man I’m going to follow you just for how you responded and helped that family out. Good man for that for real…
Wow - they did an incredible job with the repair. You LITERALLY cannot see it. I have clinically diagnosed OCD and I would honestly be cool with the level of the repair. I would still know it's there but even with my issues, I think my obsession with it would subside fairly quickly. You have a good friend. I took my Ram TRX to a "premium" detailer in PA - they ripped the drip trims off the top of the truck and chipped it in the process. They said they would fix it and literally all they did was drop an ugly glob of touch-up paint on it and call it a day. I hassled them and talked to like 50 shops and I was really pushing them on the idea that the type of repair in your video could be done - but nobody would do it. I was so sick over the situation (and the cost of gas last the time) that I sold the truck at a small profit and put it behind me. Your boy hooked you up.
I'm surprised you kept the 1K and didn't give it back, seeing as how you are so blessed and god is so merciful.
Your channel came across my feed. Be salt.
You're a good, level headed guy. You get it. I am 68 and finally figuring out what you already know about life. God Bless you. You can be my neighbor anytime!
You're a better man than most. I'm subscribing and look forward to more videos, all my best brother.
Good stuff man. Definitely earned a subscriber
Egg will eat through clear coat along with staining paint, thankfully you were there when it happened and got it off your car. She needed a good talking to and i dont think she was going to get it from her parents.
Handled it like a real honest man! Salute you
You have a really big heart, and was able to see the big picture with their circumstance, much respect, what she did was wrong, hopefully this is a life lesson for her, we all have had them
you have restored my faith in human nature, top man and i have subscribed, be following your channel avidly, take care of yourself Derek.
You felt bad because you were raised right and a decent person. One bad act can ruin a lifetime of progress!!! Very mature way of thinking!
Dude... you're a good man. Stay blessed, your channel definitely earned my subscription
Just watched this and you can be proud. Just as you said 8 years ago your temper would have made your reaction different, this girl just reacted out of anger and was wrong. You are also right in that the wrong behavior is on her, not her dad. He is holding the bag for his daughter's actions. In the end, you are doing well and gratitude is the right thing. The $1000 will be felt by this family and the daughter learns a hard lesson, but they will survive and hopefully everyone can walk away from this with something. You did good I think. Working it out so they didn't break will come back to you in positive ways. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s amazing how much damage a high speed egg does to paint! It causes a circular paint chip pattern! Most people are unaware of the damage a egg causes, which I assume the girl didn’t know the egg would chip the paint! Still no excuse to not take responsibility for her actions!
You handle everything very respectful , great job,bro.. hopefully that young girl learned a good lesson.
I thought you were a good man with a good heart... now I see you're a great man with a great heart
I turn 37 in soon and I swear from 24 to 37 has been a FLASH. But I can say I remember the first time I didn't go straight to anger and I was actually proud of myself....good on you man
I don't think a lot of people realize just how bad an egg can mess up your paint...always leaves that circular pattern of damage. I had my car hit by 5 eggs less than a week after repainting my car. Every single one left that exact same type of damage you show here....something about that egg shell man, when it shatters it hurts the paint for real.... Glad your ride is fixed.
Years ago my just-repaired and repainted car was egged by vandals while we were in the movies. The egg ruined the fresh paint. I don’t blame you for being angry and commend you for staying cool. Good luck.
Brother God was testing you and your heart man. You got a huge blessing coming
You're a good dude man. You handled it better than most would have. Respect!!!
Just saw your first vid and it was the egg 🥚 video then I’m seeing this one and I like the way you think and hold yourself not many car TH-camrs seem like real people but you do finna start watching you since I been binge watching you vids all day !!
