Honestly bro I love what you do your an inspiration and legend such an amazing man and person I cant express how many people love your stories and journey's keep up the amazing work🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When mike setup the f12 he said clearly, this is a starting point & will get adjusted after seat/ track time for drift or road race etc.. he made the ultimate adjustabilty for what that car can. Now it's time to adjust 🤘😊

These guys have trashed 75 percent of automotive creators.
Without a doubt and anyone that knows anything about building anything for extreme use knows stuff needs to be tweeked and adjusted and it really blows me away that people still don't realize that DDE runs on sarcasm and pranks its what makes stuff entertaining
Damon, true DDE followers-those who have been with you through thick and thin-love and support you always. The real ones stand by you, not just when it’s convenient but for life. It’s frustrating to see clout chasers like Lucci Mr. TH-cam act like they support you, only to turn around and post deleted content for views and attention. That’s classless. But know this: the ones who truly ride with you, who’ve been there from the start, will always have your back. You helped me through some of the darkest times in my life, especially after losing my sister. You and Mr. Yari were the first to sign a football dedicated to her, and I’ll never forget that. I got your six for life, Damon. Real DDE family never wavers."**
the last thing we need to see before mike leave SoCal for good into the sunset, is for him to do a proper drift in the F12, we never saw that. a beautiful send-off seeing him driving his last creation before leave and being with his family adventure.
@@BrigyDmD He's been selling stuff and as you know Damon isn't always at Compton and he has a business to run called DDE. Stop your assumptions trying to create drama... Your kind of people ruin the internet.
And let’s not talk about how Adam LZ a PROFESSIONAL driver said “this thing drives great”. Adam has drifted MANY MANY different cars and said the f12 is very easy to drive. So if that isn’t an even bigger testament to the build quality of Mikes builds then idk what it. The man built it from the GROUND UP never took it on a test drive and still it drives phenomenally.
Ye legit like these people are trying to hard to make me feel fall small but I know I have the coolest car here and the amount of people in the video who said damon smashed it was insane
We just have to understand a lot of the people watching these haven’t actually grown up around cars or motorsports. They just need some lite bullying in a positive and influential way that helps them understand that this is part of why this stuff is so fun.
Everyone wishes Mike was around but we all knew Mike had life plans. Mike left a bit earlier than expected and it would have been great to see him drive the car. Mike is a big boy and can handle himself.
@Jgibb69 people are even sayin dde is angry cause mike is stealing views lol not possible as he uploads saturdays lol 1 days views wont hurt anyone & true fans will watch both
@@dimitrirogers8725 people will say and assume lots of things. Mike brought in lots of views to DDE and has a good following now because of it, but sometimes people aren’t happy unless there is drama. I think if DDE finds a good builder/fabricator and move into the next project ppl will move get past Mike moving on.
5:21 people nowadays can’t take constructive criticism. They just see it as criticism people can’t comprehend what differences between advice and degrading comments. We love you Damon and Mike
@@c_brownoutdoors8330 🙌 I remember seeing the WRC Gallardo video when it first released. Then I realized we were from the same area and I had friends that knew Damon and Dave from the Island. Was hooked since
Everyone seems to have forgotten that the F12 is built to be a hoonicorn inspired build, to handle insane maneuvers, catching air, withstanding abuse, and ALSO having the capabilities of being used to drift. It was not built to be exclusively a drift car otherwise it would have had the suspension setup / geometry / camber that is optimal for only drifting. Guess what, if the hoonicorn was there these guys would be critiquing that the same way.
Glad you did this video Damon. I was shook initially when I heard those two guys. I grew up in car world and I’ve seen similar things where jealous people at car events bash things that are not right on a car to be petty. FYI I’m not a super car owner or anything close. I feel it was the lack of context and knowing how much effort went into the car. Since we did not hear any conversations with them prior it was hard to understand intent. Personally I did not take it toward Mike but hate towards you and team but with this video it adds the much needed context, so thank you and know I love watching you. Everything you do with cars I’ve always dreamed about but haven’t achieved the means to live it yet.
Have you ever been around guys? Lol. Calm down nancy. It's called sarcasm. Piss take, whtever you want to call it. I am sure they would help Damon out if he asked them and Vice Versa.
Damon you created a brand that many people cant duplicate and you surround yourself with good peoole such as Dave, your content is entertaining and your true fans of the channel understands the real deal, no explanation needed for me, i will still continue to watch and support the brand
People get so fragile and looks so far beyond everything said to look for some reason to be salty… Mike built that thing phenomenally and you are doing awesome learning and progressing. People need to chill tf out. ❤❤
A lot of people don’t seem to understand how people joke. I work at a diesel shop and if someone came in they would freak out at how we act to each other. Keep up the good work and don’t let the haters win!
Your probably one of the ppl that wrote dumbshit about the f12 too. Idiots will be idiots. I like the original comment though. Can't fix stupid. Stupid is as stupid does!
Nicely said man. Air is 100% clear, thanks for taking the time. Here for the builds and the cars, don’t take any of that garbage personally. Mike and Tim knocked the F12 out of the park and your driving speaks for itself. Keep it up brother!
This generation is fuxkin soft brother. Keep the positive vibes rolling and keep doin what you do. Mike is prolly one of the best car builders I've seen in a while
No he does not, that's the problem, he only did this time, you realize how many friends, and associates and contacts he has lost over the years, its countless
@@MrAlexpachuco the thing is bro at the end of the day you need to understand that what he’s doing is a business. When you run a business you meet some and you loose some. Maybe DDE is a toxic work environment who knows but his job is to get the views and the sponsors to pay his bills
The F-12 speaks for itself. It’s a piece of art. We will probably never see another vehicle like this ever again. Keyboard warriors are always going to have something to complain about. Keep doing what you’re doing, great content. I think the views for each video speaks for itself
i'm British. most of us grew up with offensive banter. some people are too invested in choosing sides. nowadays if you're on the otherside people hate you. look at the democrats that hate trump supporters. in the uk we have remoaners who absolutely hate brexiters. i just like being entertained.
As a business owner, I enjoy seeing these open dialogs to hear and relate to. Being willing to stay open like this is not easy, and kudo to you, one having the balls to kall out your flaws. Most importantly, thank you for staying real! Hurt feelings from consumers suck but to let them cripple a company or individual needs to stop being the goal of the internet comment warriors. I don't comment unless there's a truth so there it is and fuck the hater with no midlife experience to understand! Love you guys and keep it up! This may not go over well to the masses, but if anything, I hope you guys just keep enjoying your success!
Not in this case but some companies need to be crippled for disrespecting the customer. Again not talking about DDE. mostly I'm referring to game and entertainment companies
I think people forget that your f12 is litterally the first of its kind and it's still in the research and development part of the build. And learning to drive the car how it's meant to be driven. Mike great yall are great fuck them haters and shit talkers
Mike also said the car is just setup for a starting point and will need adjusted after more seat/track time so now they need to adjust anything that is needed
People have just become so brittle and sensitive, just like that downpipe. Anything said, hurts someone's feelings. In life, everything is perception and perception is everything. There are no problems that exist in reality, it's all in the mind. Solve that issue, and the world will be a freaking amazing place with less of this sensitive nonsense. Love your content and appreciate how real it is. Keep it up! In the past i had the opportunity to build one of my own cars with my dad and had a few years where being in workshops etc and street events was a regular thing. I miss that and DDE just makes me enjoy something I can't do anymore.
You did a great job explaining everything. For me, all the car stuff is what attracts me to want to see your videos but that alone means very little. What makes me happy is all the relationships built around what you do and hearing you express your joy and appreciation for all of it. That's the real reason I keep coming back.
That what makes me happy when I watch a dde video. Even though I do believe some of the crap he said was a dig at Mike I’ll give Damon a chance to see if it happens again. I just think he needs to think when he’s saying things or at least word it differently. I do agree with the not mentioning Mike all the time it’s kinda cheesy and pointless but other than that I agree with what you’re saying dde is time pass to forget about the shitty world we live in. My opinion is be honest truthful and stop the clickbait crap and be real in the videos. We need the dde of 5 years ago. Other than the one video the last two weeks off dde have been awesome. I hope it continues.
This is the major issue with social media. You are always going to have people that are going to hate. Mike came to do a job he was hired for. He made a product you were more than happy with. It is what it is.
I’ll never understand why strangers will ever act like they know you guys. I don’t know you guys, never will, and I’m more than ok with it. No matter what you guys do, I’ll never lose any sleep over it. People are SO soft. Amazing.
Bro don't forget ur dealing with couch potatoes. I'm born 71. I'm a master mechanic and a machinist for over 30 years now. This young generation cannot comprehend what goes into a build like that. They will never know the feeling of accomplishment and pride. Sadly only nick picking stuff they don't understand. I'm German and I say du bist unglaublich. I'm envious. Lol.
EXACTLY! If more of the viewers were actually car guys and part of the car culture they would have understood that Matt and Odi where just giving him a hard time! Which is what car guys do to each other! Just like Matt was talking crap to Odi about his cars!
No one is a guru when it comes to customization. Trial and error is there for a reason. Wear and tear as well as parts fail. Best to learn and improvise with better parts rather bash the builder or driver... My motto "man made the machines so man can solve and improvise"- love from Singapore the van guy
I love the clarity and transparency of this video. I miss Mike as part of the DDE everyday fam, but with every family someone will want other things. I like that I get to see Mike on his own channel doing what he loves with his family also! 2 of my favorites to watch! “BECAUSE FAMILY”
No need to address, we're all adults no need for an explanation, at the end of the day you've had experiences with these cars more than any of us and those were your critisms to make 'your car better' so fuck the haters we love you man ❤
Damon definitely was low key hating on Mike constantly with his little disses but try to spin it like it was other folks hating on him 😂😂😂 no accountability. And when anything bad is said bout Mike none of the guys defends him which says a lot 😒🤷🏼♂️
Indeed, just spinning it his way now after the fact. It wasnt for just one subtle stab as he make it seem but constant little jabs on almost every video.
Even IF he did say something sarcastically negative about Essa.. First, that is what "Car Guys" do. And more importantly, that is what GenX'ers do! That is LITERALLY how we show each other that we're "bros".. we give each other shit and then we all laugh about it.
I have to agree. If you didn't know me and some of my friends and heard us with eachother then you would think we hate eachother. But it's all in good fun. Kids today are to soft
@@niewissen9912 They somehow try to feel the feelings of others and interpret them through a TH-cam comment… It’s sad, really. Too many parasocials in this community.
Yeah i agree but there are these keyboard warriors sitting in their basements and riding on the bandwagon of hate cause they scooped a bit of drama from other YT channels and start instigating drama in dde channels. Calm the f down people... jeeeez
I think everyone just fell in love with the f12 journey and when Mike left it was a very premature ending. Just bittersweet to see him not around it anymore
Forget about the haters...I'm one of those people who thought it was hilarious when they were critiquing the car and said things you didn't understand on purpose and sarcastically lol loved it. You guys are awsome and love the videos. Hope to see the F12 one day it sounds amazing in the video but doesn't do it justice.
That's the downside of social media etc. Everybody thinks they should give their opinion on things, without knowing the backstory. Keep it going DDE ❤❤
People who chirp through a keyboard are weak people!!! Damon/Dave you built a beautiful channel and have an amazing team! I’ve watched every episode for the past 5 years and will continue! Thanks Damon and Dave
We appreciate the clarity and openness from you Damon. Not that you had to, but well done mate. One of the best in the biz in what y'all do. Always here for it every morning.
DDE is great content. Supporting your vision is easy. I'm not your typical "car guy". But, your channel goes beyond driving exotic cars. You make real life connections with people, and share them with us. You take us to events. You take us overseas. You share your struggles, your failures, and your successes with us. You give us a behind the scenes look at your business, and your personal life. Your brand is beyond the car lifestyle. To me, it's how to be a good person, a professional, work through adversity, and smile through it all. As a Canadian trying to make it in business, you guys have been role models, and an inspiration to me. So, thank you! 🙏🏻🫶🏻🏎️ I hope you keep putting out content for us. But, don't lose sight of the things you value most. PS Joe Rogan says "don't read the comments". I respect that you do. I respect that you listen to the suggestions, and address the concerns. It's how we grow. 👊🏻
Hahaha. You rerecord the original explanation and defended the car and Mike this time. Don't make it seem like people are turning this into something so NEGATIVE. Hundreds of thousands of people felt the exact same way!! That doesn't happen unless it's perceived that way. It's clear as day. Take it to chin and stop blaming people. Smh
Everyone love Mike . People get jealous of his success ... Mike Build Winning car ... he knows everything you need to win .... I dont know anybody or seen anybody that can take any car and turn it in a winning build ...fan since 2015 and u guys never stop to raise the bar ..Mike chapter was insane ! cant wait for next chapter
They were joking like men joke. I was cracking up, if you can’t read the room and realize that’s all part of the fun of Motorsports then you just need a little more time around them.
Did you even listen to the video? Damon said Matt field and odi bakis were joking with him. They have personally completed with Mike as well. I believe Mike helped Matt field on something with the c6 back when he first got it as well. They know each other for years.
Dude people are so stupid. Thanks for addressing this if you love the car and are happy with the car who cares..its YOUR car!! And Mike did a great job we all know it...
Why make the video though? Damon and Dave are so stupid, it was just some good banter in the comments. Don't they know how guys joke around? Just joking around. If people are happy with their comments and love the negative comment section, who cares? It's their comments! DDE very snowflakey.
I've just commented a similar thing..as a Brit I'm genetically fluent in sarcasm, where as Americans usually suck at sarcasm, Damon and Dave being Canadians do have more of a sense of it though and I just think many of the comments that us Brits would call banter, Americans see as a personal attack
I met DDE back in 2019 when Damon bought Dave his yellow Gallardo. I also met Will Motivation and Savage Garage, among others. The vibe was different in good ways. No other individuals help gather large crowds, such as DDE. Keep up the good work.
Whatching the video i was wondering how is the F12 not breaking down ? Those clowns from gintani couldnt even get the car running !! Mike build a reliable beast. Im no expert but Mike sure knows what he is doing
Thank you for taking the time to address this , I could tell those FD drivers were totally poking fun at you knowing you didn't know about what they were saying. Always enjoy watching the vids on both channels.
A lot of non car people don't realize the amount of razzing that goes on within the car community. It's fun, not competition. It's about sharing the passion with others who genuinely share the same passion. DDE is legit and can't wait to see what 2025 brings us. Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through you guys! Love from Houston Tx
Me and my friends call my car slow all the time. I call it a heavy pig. Yet I've beaten r8s rs7s and modded McLaren 570s with it. I talk trash on my buddies dsm for the cheap ass welds on his turbo inlet. I fully know he can gap me. He's beaten 8 second cars.
Damon still soft, no accountability. Dude needs an ego check. Said the stories video taken down for other reasons but doesn’t say why.. if not for the hate comments and them talking shit. What a clown 🤡
One other thing to remember, the car was built with adjustibility so it could be tweaked to be the best possible and those changes built into final configuration parts. Those drifters mentioned a bunch of those items before they have been adjusted. Mike's dream boat jumped up and he had to grab it leaving some things not resolved with the car. That was unfortunate but, with the setup he gave you, you were still ripping that track! I will say, as a 50+ years in racing and aircraft mechanic, if you keep treating that car like you have been (burning down the exhaust), it won't last long. Oil changes, plug checks/changes, VALVE ADJUSTMENTS, compression checks, and other regular maintenance and inspections are required to prevent failures. These items should be done after any major TD or event. I love the work Tim does for you and I hope Evan starts looking the car over on a regular basis in the very near future. It will save you money in the long run. One other thing, those high temps in the exhaust will burn and destroy the turbine wheel in the turbos after a short time. That's one reason JDMs use a turbo timer....
I appreciate the fact you take time to address these things in the middle of the day. Not because it makes you look better but because it says you care what impressions you make on what people think about those around you. What you present matters to a lot of people and how they perceive those you work with. Keep up the positivity brother!!!!
Now that the original video was mysteriously taken down (very rare for DDE), nobody can go back and remind themselves of how you and others were speaking about the work done on the car. It was very passive-aggressive, which is why thousands of people mentioned it. Nobody is hating for defending Mike, that just doesn't make sense. They were calling it for what it was, and now you're back pedaling.
Nope i saw the video and his words back what i saw!! If you havent seen it go see Lucis video yesterday he has clips of what was said. Damon said something before he knew the real truth of the issue and when he realized he was wrong he stated so and said cut those parts out but the showed them anyways. Thats not a person trying to hide things.
I agree this sounds like damage control. I feel mabe if he was genuine like he was in this video things would have been different. But his ego gets in the way.😂
There was a bit of bashing Mike when Damon said even Gintani wont use that crap material and Dave picked it up and immediately cut Damon off by mentioning the Kid Car being sold and you could see the expression on Damons face when Dave did it
Absolutely. Damons just pissed mike got away before he could screw him over. If youve been watching this channel for a while, youll notice that people come and go all the time, and theres always whispers of drama behind it. Damon is probably a good business man, but i think he makes these large promises to people, and then screws them when things don't go well
We love the pure sound and feeling of when the turbos start spooling and the car starts accelerating , the gearbox is louder now and it competes with the turbos sound , the turbos sound is what makes us extremely excited and brings us joy , even when its not hitting limiter/drifting , I think if you guys place the microphones in strategic positions like the past video with the camera in the hood then you can overcome the sound factor of the gearbox 🙏🏼 I Love The F12TT So Much , It Shows Us What Is Possible If You Dream To Achieve ❤ Thanks Damon & Dave & Everyone Who Makes This Possible #DDE🔥
Those guys roasting the build was freaking awesome and had me rolling...laughing. (Also your drift buddy standing on the McLaren wing in the background hahah) I didn't think any hate on Mike or anything like that, and haters gonna hate. Let them kick rocks bare foot. Love ya guys, keep up the shenanigans!!!
Yall should be proud of him for having his dream cars. It sounds like yall are like oh it might be nice to have all those cars when I watched from the start with Damon’s lambo I looked at it like congratulations! While im over here like that’s gonna be me in the future. Crazy how people think. Thank you so much for getting me through my hard times after I crashed my drift car after having a seizure into a tree trunk I’m breaking my back. You really kept me motivated to stay strong.
its you guys own fault ! the viewers respond on it because you made a lot of drama -cop pul over video's -sledgehammer drama -Sketchy Mechanic EXPOSED ( hired actor) -houston beef -sheepy race beef -Shmee beef While you claim to be a car channel Thats were the most of the viewers came for ! car content but no drama scored better in youre eyes ! And thats why most of the car youtubers dont want anything to do with DDE and many un subed just like me
The F12 is also a race car. It breaks down, theres wear and tear and things need to be replaced. It also needs constant tuning and improving. These haters don't know the basics of racing.
I've felt like the attitude towards Mike has changed after he left the team, which kind of sucks, but is honestly, to be expected. The fact that Mike is such a good dude is why people have gotten so defensive of him and his work.
People that think that don’t understand constructive criticism, or can’t handle any criticism and are soft! He’s never said anything bad about Mike or trashed him. He’s made comments on some things here and there about tweaks or mishaps in builds, but he never did it in a demeaning way or to tear down Mike. Yall need to just get out of your feels! Yall are making this way more personal than it actually is.
Just because you "felt" like the attitude has changed towards mike. Doesn't mean they don't talk to each other daily. You'll be surprised at how well both damon and Mike get on. With out the camera on..... lol
Damon needs to remember it’s 2025 guys have turned into girls & girls have turned into men 😂 I’m just here for the show 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂 I have been watching the channel from day 1, and I ain’t stopping now💪🤣
Just don't be obnoxious teen boys and you don't have to explain anything. Still bashing Mike, the double-down and gaslighting the audience is insane here.
good on you Damon. You are not a villan. emotions are what makes us human. And when you feel you don't need to react, it's your brand/channel. keep us entertained. i caught the sarcasm as a non native english speaker. So happy to see you clear things up for the rest of the DDE racing fans, but for me was not needed. keep it up guys
I keep trying to tell people that the F12 is a one off never been done before….. the way it performs and handles for a one off first Ferrari drift car is amazing. The credit Mike deserves for that is insane. Esp on the timeline it was on. Can’t say enough About that dude man. That car was never ever meant to do anything even close to what it’s doing.
I love DDE and always will. I'll be upfront and honest, I made a comment about those 2 guys making comments about the F12. I jumped the gun with out listening to others. I genuinely took it as them attacking you and the build quality. I want to be one of the first people to apologize Damon. Love you guys!
@@TheRealMrRoyal Not all of us follow formula drift my friend. I apologized, not really much else I can do. Damon explained everything much better and I was clearly in the wrong. There's literally no argument coming from me.
I’m stand on business I jumped the gun too on this one. My apologies as well. I guess we miss having Mike part of the fam and still haven’t got over it.
Magnanimous as ever Damon 👏🏽 Really is a shame it has to come to this at times. Just know. The majority of the DDE fam, get it, get u guys, get the banter n we’re all in. Keep doing u lads n keep smashing it
I appreciate this video not because I needed clarity but because I see you just want to be genuine here I saw the video and I didn’t see any criticism of Mike. I saw a criticism of BMW lol and the overall build that happens when you are working with a 900 hp Motor people need to understand things fail and you do better. Mike is a pro so are you the haters can STFU!
Don't pander to the idiots, Damen! George Carlin has one of my favorite quotes. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
That might be the best video you ever made. You cleared the air and you did it in a way that makes people want to continue to follow the DDE journey. Thanks for taking us along.
And no I didn’t delete the main channel video. I simply made it private so you’d watch this. I’ll make the main channel video public again shortly.
Please do it soon didn’t get a chance to watch today’s video.
Honestly bro I love what you do your an inspiration and legend such an amazing man and person I cant express how many people love your stories and journey's keep up the amazing work🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was not built to be exclusively a drift car otherwise it would have had the suspension setup / geometry / camber that is optimal for only drifting.
Guess what, if the hoonicorn was there these guys would be critiquing that the same way.
Glad you did this video Damon. I was shook initially when I heard those two guys. I grew up in car world and I’ve seen similar things where jealous people at car events bash things that are not right on a car to be petty. FYI I’m not a super car owner or anything close. I feel it was the lack of context and knowing how much effort went into the car. Since we did not hear any conversations with them prior it was hard to understand intent. Personally I did not take it toward Mike but hate towards you and team but with this video it adds the much needed context, so thank you and know I love watching you. Everything you do with cars I’ve always dreamed about but haven’t achieved the means to live it yet.
They were joking! They all know each other! Remember when DDE sponsored the Viper in FD?
Have you ever been around guys? Lol. Calm down nancy. It's called sarcasm. Piss take, whtever you want to call it. I am sure they would help Damon out if he asked them and Vice Versa.
Forget the steering angles. Can you believe that guy took the plastic screen protector off 😂
and slapped it back on crooked to boot!
Matt field is a funny dude. I got to meet him once or twice at fd and in english town pro bro down after fd
When did this happen i was trying to go back and watch it.
That was really offensive! 😂
yesss that guy HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Damon you created a brand that many people cant duplicate and you surround yourself with good peoole such as Dave, your content is entertaining and your true fans of the channel understands the real deal, no explanation needed for me, i will still continue to watch and support the brand
💯❤
hes not going to shag you
People get so fragile and looks so far beyond everything said to look for some reason to be salty… Mike built that thing phenomenally and you are doing awesome learning and progressing. People need to chill tf out. ❤❤

A lot of people don’t seem to understand how people joke. I work at a diesel shop and if someone came in they would freak out at how we act to each other. Keep up the good work and don’t let the haters win!
You done with that comment? I see grass growing underneath you.
welcome to the world wide web of autists.
Your probably one of the ppl that wrote dumbshit about the f12 too. Idiots will be idiots. I like the original comment though. Can't fix stupid. Stupid is as stupid does!
Nicely said man. Air is 100% clear, thanks for taking the time. Here for the builds and the cars, don’t take any of that garbage personally. Mike and Tim knocked the F12 out of the park and your driving speaks for itself. Keep it up brother!
This generation is fuxkin soft brother. Keep the positive vibes rolling and keep doin what you do. Mike is prolly one of the best car builders I've seen in a while
All gens have gone soft and turned whiners. Few with a good head on they’re shoulders these days.
@@levikroeker560 that's true.
Yeah man exactly when's the last time you or me built a car or had a successful TH-cam channel?
th-cam.com/video/y2U5ZxCeYzk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=upr64KBn4HEfpUR2 0:51
Keep doing you guys we love ya all the hole team Mike is great guy great family stay positive brothers
One thing that I do respect and love about DDE is that they read the comments and address situations. It takes balls to do this as a content creator.
Good point. They are fully involved with their viewers as much as humanly possible.
@ agreed
No he does not, that's the problem, he only did this time, you realize how many friends, and associates and contacts he has lost over the years, its countless
@@MrAlexpachuco the thing is bro at the end of the day you need to understand that what he’s doing is a business. When you run a business you meet some and you loose some. Maybe DDE is a toxic work environment who knows but his job is to get the views and the sponsors to pay his bills
That's the problem with comment sections. Everyone is an EXPERT has to voice their opinion which is not always a good thing.
The F-12 speaks for itself. It’s a piece of art. We will probably never see another vehicle like this ever again. Keyboard warriors are always going to have something to complain about.
Keep doing what you’re doing, great content. I think the views for each video speaks for itself
It’s sad that a little banter and sarcasm needs to be explained to the feelings police out there in the audience.
Snowflakes man... It's pathetic.
Exactly. People need to lighten up and stop being offended and making an issue that's not even related to them.
💯💀👏
i'm British. most of us grew up with offensive banter.
some people are too invested in choosing sides. nowadays if you're on the otherside people hate you.
look at the democrats that hate trump supporters. in the uk we have remoaners who absolutely hate brexiters.
i just like being entertained.
It shows everyone else how incredibly pathetic they are, its hilarious 🤦🏽♂️💀
As a business owner, I enjoy seeing these open dialogs to hear and relate to. Being willing to stay open like this is not easy, and kudo to you, one having the balls to kall out your flaws. Most importantly, thank you for staying real! Hurt feelings from consumers suck but to let them cripple a company or individual needs to stop being the goal of the internet comment warriors. I don't comment unless there's a truth so there it is and fuck the hater with no midlife experience to understand!
Love you guys and keep it up!
This may not go over well to the masses, but if anything, I hope you guys just keep enjoying your success!
Not in this case but some companies need to be crippled for disrespecting the customer.
Again not talking about DDE. mostly I'm referring to game and entertainment companies
Great clarity, on everything. Thank you for the stuff you do and the content you guys produce.
I think people forget that your f12 is litterally the first of its kind and it's still in the research and development part of the build. And learning to drive the car how it's meant to be driven. Mike great yall are great fuck them haters and shit talkers
People just like talking shit and it says a lot about them and their personal lives

Mike also said the car is just setup for a starting point and will need adjusted after more seat/track time so now they need to adjust anything that is needed
I just love everyone at DDE, and I’m glad Damon can just address issues he is having.
People have just become so brittle and sensitive, just like that downpipe. Anything said, hurts someone's feelings. In life, everything is perception and perception is everything. There are no problems that exist in reality, it's all in the mind. Solve that issue, and the world will be a freaking amazing place with less of this sensitive nonsense. Love your content and appreciate how real it is. Keep it up! In the past i had the opportunity to build one of my own cars with my dad and had a few years where being in workshops etc and street events was a regular thing. I miss that and DDE just makes me enjoy something I can't do anymore.
You did a great job explaining everything. For me, all the car stuff is what attracts me to want to see your videos but that alone means very little. What makes me happy is all the relationships built around what you do and hearing you express your joy and appreciation for all of it. That's the real reason I keep coming back.
That what makes me happy when I watch a dde video. Even though I do believe some of the crap he said was a dig at Mike I’ll give Damon a chance to see if it happens again. I just think he needs to think when he’s saying things or at least word it differently. I do agree with the not mentioning Mike all the time it’s kinda cheesy and pointless but other than that I agree with what you’re saying dde is time pass to forget about the shitty world we live in. My opinion is be honest truthful and stop the clickbait crap and be real in the videos. We need the dde of 5 years ago. Other than the one video the last two weeks off dde have been awesome. I hope it continues.
This is the major issue with social media. You are always going to have people that are going to hate.
Mike came to do a job he was hired for. He made a product you were more than happy with. It is what it is.
I’ll never understand why strangers will ever act like they know you guys. I don’t know you guys, never will, and I’m more than ok with it. No matter what you guys do, I’ll never lose any sleep over it. People are SO soft. Amazing.
Bro don't forget ur dealing with couch potatoes. I'm born 71. I'm a master mechanic and a machinist for over 30 years now. This young generation cannot comprehend what goes into a build like that. They will never know the feeling of accomplishment and pride. Sadly only nick picking stuff they don't understand. I'm German and I say du bist unglaublich. I'm envious. Lol.
EXACTLY! If more of the viewers were actually car guys and part of the car culture they would have understood that Matt and Odi where just giving him a hard time! Which is what car guys do to each other! Just like Matt was talking crap to Odi about his cars!
No one is a guru when it comes to customization. Trial and error is there for a reason. Wear and tear as well as parts fail. Best to learn and improvise with better parts rather bash the builder or driver... My motto "man made the machines so man can solve and improvise"- love from Singapore the van guy

I love the clarity and transparency of this video. I miss Mike as part of the DDE everyday fam, but with every family someone will want other things. I like that I get to see Mike on his own channel doing what he loves with his family also! 2 of my favorites to watch! “BECAUSE FAMILY”
Thanks for the update, you’re not at all in the wrong here Damon. All is well! Keep up the great content! Much love from Sweden🇸🇪

No need to address, we're all adults no need for an explanation, at the end of the day you've had experiences with these cars more than any of us and those were your critisms to make 'your car better' so fuck the haters we love you man ❤
U CLEARLY DIDNT WATCH THE LAST FEW UPLOADS
Obviously some people are NOT adults. The comment section on that video AND now Eric Choi's video are ridiculous. Grow the F up.

Unfortunately the majority of the audience is a bunch of sensitive teenagers. Hate he’s explaining to them
Damon definitely was low key hating on Mike constantly with his little disses but try to spin it like it was other folks hating on him 😂😂😂 no accountability. And when anything bad is said bout Mike none of the guys defends him which says a lot 😒🤷🏼♂️
Indeed, just spinning it his way now after the fact. It wasnt for just one subtle stab as he make it seem but constant little jabs on almost every video.
Even IF he did say something sarcastically negative about Essa..
First, that is what "Car Guys" do. And more importantly, that is what GenX'ers do!
That is LITERALLY how we show each other that we're "bros"..
we give each other shit and then we all laugh about it.
I have to agree. If you didn't know me and some of my friends and heard us with eachother then you would think we hate eachother. But it's all in good fun. Kids today are to soft
@@niewissen9912 They somehow try to feel the feelings of others and interpret them through a TH-cam comment… It’s sad, really. Too many parasocials in this community.
Yeah i agree but there are these keyboard warriors sitting in their basements and riding on the bandwagon of hate cause they scooped a bit of drama from other YT channels and start instigating drama in dde channels. Calm the f down people... jeeeez
I think everyone just fell in love with the f12 journey and when Mike left it was a very premature ending. Just bittersweet to see him not around it anymore
Who’s the “Everyone”? You mean the fanbois who have a hard on for literally anyone who represents themselves well on a camera?
Forget about the haters...I'm one of those people who thought it was hilarious when they were critiquing the car and said things you didn't understand on purpose and sarcastically lol loved it. You guys are awsome and love the videos. Hope to see the F12 one day it sounds amazing in the video but doesn't do it justice.
That's the downside of social media etc. Everybody thinks they should give their opinion on things, without knowing the backstory. Keep it going DDE ❤❤
Damon did a great job at Willow Springs. His driving is really coming along. The car performed well. Great VLOG DDE!!!
People who chirp through a keyboard are weak people!!! Damon/Dave you built a beautiful channel and have an amazing team! I’ve watched every episode for the past 5 years and will continue! Thanks Damon and Dave
We appreciate the clarity and openness from you Damon. Not that you had to, but well done mate. One of the best in the biz in what y'all do. Always here for it every morning.
Was not expecting an upload at almost 11:30 pm uk
Edit: I think Damon would make a perfect pro fd driver you should go as far as you can with that
Same

@@ianvidez2431 this fool busy commenting on every comment and spreading hate ! How much the salary for being a hater?
DDE is great content. Supporting your vision is easy. I'm not your typical "car guy". But, your channel goes beyond driving exotic cars. You make real life connections with people, and share them with us. You take us to events. You take us overseas. You share your struggles, your failures, and your successes with us. You give us a behind the scenes look at your business, and your personal life. Your brand is beyond the car lifestyle. To me, it's how to be a good person, a professional, work through adversity, and smile through it all.
As a Canadian trying to make it in business, you guys have been role models, and an inspiration to me.
So, thank you! 🙏🏻🫶🏻🏎️
I hope you keep putting out content for us. But, don't lose sight of the things you value most.
PS Joe Rogan says "don't read the comments". I respect that you do. I respect that you listen to the suggestions, and address the concerns. It's how we grow. 👊🏻
The DDE fam know how much love you got for Mike and your team, the content you’ve been pushing out lately has been so phenomenal 🔥😮💨
Hahaha. You rerecord the original explanation and defended the car and Mike this time. Don't make it seem like people are turning this into something so NEGATIVE. Hundreds of thousands of people felt the exact same way!! That doesn't happen unless it's perceived that way. It's clear as day. Take it to chin and stop blaming people. Smh
Everyone love Mike . People get jealous of his success ... Mike Build Winning car ... he knows everything you need to win .... I dont know anybody or seen anybody that can take any car and turn it in a winning build ...fan since 2015 and u guys never stop to raise the bar ..Mike chapter was insane ! cant wait for next chapter
They were joking like men joke. I was cracking up, if you can’t read the room and realize that’s all part of the fun of Motorsports then you just need a little more time around them.
Word bro. No need to address anything. Unfortunately not everyone gets DDE. Kudos to you and Mike.
Did you even listen to the video? Damon said Matt field and odi bakis were joking with him. They have personally completed with Mike as well. I believe Mike helped Matt field on something with the c6 back when he first got it as well.
They know each other for years.
Damon does sarcastically, even about Mike always leaving early, it's not just the last 2 videos
Don't sweat the haters bro! If they hate, means you're doing something right.
Dude people are so stupid. Thanks for addressing this if you love the car and are happy with the car who cares..its YOUR car!! And Mike did a great job we all know it...
there were hundreds of them yesterday going in on the two guys (odi and matt) people are so deluded its crazy...
Why make the video though? Damon and Dave are so stupid, it was just some good banter in the comments. Don't they know how guys joke around? Just joking around.
If people are happy with their comments and love the negative comment section, who cares? It's their comments!
DDE very snowflakey.
Dave acting like Damon is ready for FD was by far the most offensive part of that video
The fact that you even have pro dirft drivers critiquing your car to this level is a compliment to the car in itself. Love you Damon and Dave!
th-cam.com/video/y2U5ZxCeYzk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=upr64KBn4HEfpUR2 0:51
They are scared of the F12 it's the best crazy car of yt
Being English, sarcasm and banter is in my dna... I saw nothing but good mannered sarcasm in that video!
Im Polish and thats also in our dna 😀
same, as an aussie haha
Banta 😂😂😂😂😂
Banta was clearly there. Remember most people who watch this are Americans and they're not that bright. Lol
I've just commented a similar thing..as a Brit I'm genetically fluent in sarcasm, where as Americans usually suck at sarcasm, Damon and Dave being Canadians do have more of a sense of it though and I just think many of the comments that us Brits would call banter, Americans see as a personal attack
I met DDE back in 2019 when Damon bought Dave his yellow Gallardo. I also met Will Motivation and Savage Garage, among others. The vibe was different in good ways. No other individuals help gather large crowds, such as DDE. Keep up the good work.
Whatching the video i was wondering how is the F12 not breaking down ? Those clowns from gintani couldnt even get the car running !! Mike build a reliable beast. Im no expert but Mike sure knows what he is doing
The only clown here Sir is you!! Thank you
Watching the main channel video then this video pops up on my notification is crazy 😂 We love Mike ❤
Thank you for taking the time to address this , I could tell those FD drivers were totally poking fun at you knowing you didn't know about what they were saying. Always enjoy watching the vids on both channels.
Unfortunately, sometimes people just suck !!!!
A lot of non car people don't realize the amount of razzing that goes on within the car community. It's fun, not competition. It's about sharing the passion with others who genuinely share the same passion. DDE is legit and can't wait to see what 2025 brings us. Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through you guys! Love from Houston Tx
This is the way
Hazing but in a generally helpful way.
Me and my friends call my car slow all the time. I call it a heavy pig. Yet I've beaten r8s rs7s and modded McLaren 570s with it. I talk trash on my buddies dsm for the cheap ass welds on his turbo inlet. I fully know he can gap me. He's beaten 8 second cars.
I been a fan of the DDE since day 1 and the stuff they do with cars is just awesome.
It's called being friends. Talking shit and having fun. People need to chill the fuck down...
"Out" not "down"
Ffs kid, really ?
@24ct_G omg, I'm sorry for my mistake 😂
This is BANTA !!!!!
Mike Essa's legacy is already set in stone !!!
His craftsmanship is consistently 10/10
NO DEFENCE NEEDED !! LEGEND !!
Damon still soft, no accountability. Dude needs an ego check. Said the stories video taken down for other reasons but doesn’t say why.. if not for the hate comments and them talking shit. What a clown 🤡
One other thing to remember, the car was built with adjustibility so it could be tweaked to be the best possible and those changes built into final configuration parts. Those drifters mentioned a bunch of those items before they have been adjusted. Mike's dream boat jumped up and he had to grab it leaving some things not resolved with the car. That was unfortunate but, with the setup he gave you, you were still ripping that track!
I will say, as a 50+ years in racing and aircraft mechanic, if you keep treating that car like you have been (burning down the exhaust), it won't last long. Oil changes, plug checks/changes, VALVE ADJUSTMENTS, compression checks, and other regular maintenance and inspections are required to prevent failures. These items should be done after any major TD or event. I love the work Tim does for you and I hope Evan starts looking the car over on a regular basis in the very near future. It will save you money in the long run.
One other thing, those high temps in the exhaust will burn and destroy the turbine wheel in the turbos after a short time. That's one reason JDMs use a turbo timer....
I appreciate the fact you take time to address these things in the middle of the day. Not because it makes you look better but because it says you care what impressions you make on what people think about those around you. What you present matters to a lot of people and how they perceive those you work with. Keep up the positivity brother!!!!
well put bub. dont ever lose your compassion. you owe us nothing. yall provide awesome content that keeps me coming back every day!
Now that the original video was mysteriously taken down (very rare for DDE), nobody can go back and remind themselves of how you and others were speaking about the work done on the car. It was very passive-aggressive, which is why thousands of people mentioned it. Nobody is hating for defending Mike, that just doesn't make sense. They were calling it for what it was, and now you're back pedaling.
Nope i saw the video and his words back what i saw!! If you havent seen it go see Lucis video yesterday he has clips of what was said. Damon said something before he knew the real truth of the issue and when he realized he was wrong he stated so and said cut those parts out but the showed them anyways. Thats not a person trying to hide things.
I agree this sounds like damage control. I feel mabe if he was genuine like he was in this video things would have been different. But his ego gets in the way.😂
no he is not
yeah like a bunch of kindergarten kids overreacting because someone said something about their teachers shoes😂😂😂😂 get real
@@JoshJackson2947 so does yours or you would get it😂😂😂😂😂
There was a bit of bashing Mike when Damon said even Gintani wont use that crap material and Dave picked it up and immediately cut Damon off by mentioning the Kid Car being sold and you could see the expression on Damons face when Dave did it
Absolutely. Damons just pissed mike got away before he could screw him over. If youve been watching this channel for a while, youll notice that people come and go all the time, and theres always whispers of drama behind it. Damon is probably a good business man, but i think he makes these large promises to people, and then screws them when things don't go well
Mike is #1
I’m always going to be here supporting!! People are wacky on the internet
We love the pure sound and feeling of when the turbos start spooling and the car starts accelerating , the gearbox is louder now and it competes with the turbos sound , the turbos sound is what makes us extremely excited and brings us joy , even when its not hitting limiter/drifting , I think if you guys place the microphones in strategic positions like the past video with the camera in the hood then you can overcome the sound factor of the gearbox 🙏🏼 I Love The F12TT So Much , It Shows Us What Is Possible If You Dream To Achieve ❤ Thanks Damon & Dave & Everyone Who Makes This Possible #DDE🔥
Those guys roasting the build was freaking awesome and had me rolling...laughing. (Also your drift buddy standing on the McLaren wing in the background hahah) I didn't think any hate on Mike or anything like that, and haters gonna hate. Let them kick rocks bare foot. Love ya guys, keep up the shenanigans!!!
People have nothing better to do. Content is amazing and Mike built a badass car with Tim and everyone.
Yall should be proud of him for having his dream cars. It sounds like yall are like oh it might be nice to have all those cars when I watched from the start with Damon’s lambo I looked at it like congratulations! While im over here like that’s gonna be me in the future. Crazy how people think. Thank you so much for getting me through my hard times after I crashed my drift car after having a seizure into a tree trunk I’m breaking my back. You really kept me motivated to stay strong.
Damon what are your thoughts on mike saying its so unfortunate they are choosing to take this approach.trying to stay positive but its not been easy.
its you guys own fault ! the viewers respond on it because you made a lot of drama
-cop pul over video's
-sledgehammer drama
-Sketchy Mechanic EXPOSED ( hired actor)
-houston beef
-sheepy race beef
-Shmee beef
While you claim to be a car channel
Thats were the most of the viewers came for ! car content but no drama scored better in youre eyes !
And thats why most of the car youtubers dont want anything to do with DDE
and many un subed just like me
The F12 is also a race car. It breaks down, theres wear and tear and things need to be replaced. It also needs constant tuning and improving. These haters don't know the basics of racing.
I've felt like the attitude towards Mike has changed after he left the team, which kind of sucks, but is honestly, to be expected. The fact that Mike is such a good dude is why people have gotten so defensive of him and his work.
Right it wasn’t the last couple of videos that it seems shade was being sent to Mike. For instance the belt issue.
People that think that don’t understand constructive criticism, or can’t handle any criticism and are soft! He’s never said anything bad about Mike or trashed him. He’s made comments on some things here and there about tweaks or mishaps in builds, but he never did it in a demeaning way or to tear down Mike. Yall need to just get out of your feels! Yall are making this way more personal than it actually is.
Just because you "felt" like the attitude has changed towards mike. Doesn't mean they don't talk to each other daily. You'll be surprised at how well both damon and Mike get on. With out the camera on..... lol
YOU DID NOT DEFEND MIKE IN ANYWAY ON CAMERA BRO
Damon needs to remember it’s 2025 guys have turned into girls & girls have turned into men 😂 I’m just here for the show 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂 I have been watching the channel from day 1, and I ain’t stopping now💪🤣
Screw that haters bro. We true fans know how you are and how it is. There's no hate for mike
Just don't be obnoxious teen boys and you don't have to explain anything. Still bashing Mike, the double-down and gaslighting the audience is insane here.
good on you Damon. You are not a villan. emotions are what makes us human. And when you feel you don't need to react, it's your brand/channel. keep us entertained. i caught the sarcasm as a non native english speaker. So happy to see you clear things up for the rest of the DDE racing fans, but for me was not needed. keep it up guys
A bunch of damage that you caused revvvvinnnggggg the complete piss out of the car. Let's all be accountable for something
It's one weld and an electrical clip. Jesus, it's like an hour worth of work. Calm down wheny pants.
Exactly that revving shit is stupid
calm down, the car’s meant to handle handle high rpms 😂 if only you knew that drift cars would be banging on the limiter at long drifts anyway
People be SAD about Shit man, don't stress yourself
DDE Rules the interwebs
Seems like this channel may not last much longer if Damon keeps having to remove every video. This is 3 in 3 days
I said this this morning 🤦🏽♂️ people take things the wrong way allll the time. The world we will in 🤷🏽♂️. You guys are great!!
I keep trying to tell people that the F12 is a one off never been done before….. the way it performs and handles for a one off first Ferrari drift car is amazing. The credit Mike deserves for that is insane. Esp on the timeline it was on. Can’t say enough
About that dude man. That car was never ever meant to do anything even close to what it’s doing.
I love DDE and always will. I'll be upfront and honest, I made a comment about those 2 guys making comments about the F12. I jumped the gun with out listening to others. I genuinely took it as them attacking you and the build quality. I want to be one of the first people to apologize Damon. Love you guys!
th-cam.com/video/y2U5ZxCeYzk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=upr64KBn4HEfpUR2 0:51
"Those guys" you mean multiple time formula drift champions Odi Bachis and Matt Field.
Apology accepted
@@TheRealMrRoyal Not all of us follow formula drift my friend. I apologized, not really much else I can do. Damon explained everything much better and I was clearly in the wrong. There's literally no argument coming from me.
I’m stand on business I jumped the gun too on this one. My apologies as well. I guess we miss having Mike part of the fam and still haven’t got over it.
Damage control
Magnanimous as ever Damon 👏🏽
Really is a shame it has to come to this at times. Just know. The majority of the DDE fam, get it, get u guys, get the banter n we’re all in.
Keep doing u lads n keep smashing it
I appreciate this video not because I needed clarity but because I see you just want to be genuine here I saw the video and I didn’t see any criticism of Mike. I saw a criticism of BMW lol and the overall build that happens when you are working with a 900 hp Motor people need to understand things fail and you do better. Mike is a pro so are you the haters can STFU!
The whole entire point that everyone is making is the fact you're not LOYAL
You spent enough time with Essa to know he does everything for a reason and has a ton of experience. You didn't ONCE defend him
Good for you clearing this up and be open and honest about it. It’s ridiculous that you even had to do this video, but thumbs up Damon!!
i really dont know how people cant see those guys sarcasm, its so obvious. Love the vids and all the builds, keep it up😁😁
The haters have no common sense and comes with being a keyboard warrior🤣
If people stopped getting offended for other people they would be a lot happier in life.
Totally agree with your comment 👍
Don't pander to the idiots, Damen! George Carlin has one of my favorite quotes. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
That might be the best video you ever made. You cleared the air and you did it in a way that makes people want to continue to follow the DDE journey. Thanks for taking us along.
