To say its just a car is not accurate..!!..it was an EXPENSIVE BEAUTIFULL "VERY RARE 1 of 26 in the world 1 of 2 in the US" MANUAL GATED LP640 that meant alot to Damon & alot to the DDE family!!! I mean he just had the thing rebuilt just because he loved it to death!! i get it...its no ones fault but dont say it was just a car please!!!😖
I would like to say “thank you” to all of you for your support. This was a punch to the gut. My hearts broken 💔 BUT I am grateful nobody was hurt. I’ll keep the memories of the Murci forever with me and we have the videos on YT. Time for me to go and watch some old Murci videos to reminisce 😭 Then I’ll go on my hunt to find the replacement car. 🙏
Damon you're a solid dude you can tell how hard Matt August is just absolutely devastated and has no words but yet you're having a good time. Keep up the content and the grind love you guys an the entire DDE fam!
So right... It's only a car. Great attitude. Great response. Family and friends are number one and they're worth more than anything you can put into a garage. Hoping things work out on a positive side for ya in the end.
This attitude is one of the worst. It is not ok to say that. If someone so retarded and so much doesnt give a fuck about nothing in their life then the worst thing is look for excuses what they do not deserve. They knew what they do they knew how much they fuck tup they new they wasnt in any danger becouse that car constructed to handle accidents like this they knew they just total the car and for my eyes they jusg bunch of assholes where excuses are just not acceptable anymore.
@@Chris-hw4mq Or neither of those He is a man!!! Like he said mani mani mani times it's just a car!!!! No need to hurt a friend over a car what's wrong with you??????? Try to learn how to haddle situation BETTER!!!!
Damon you are so great! Couldn’t imagine how hurt you were and yet you were doing your best to take the guilt off of them and let them know you know it’s not their fault. So much love. Fly high, murci!
You can tell Damon is hurt deep down, but handled it professionally based on logic not emotion. Sorry to see this happen. Thankfully nobody got hurt, but man… 🤷🏼♂️
Honestly he’s just happy August gonna cash him out with a big fat insurance check or just give him one of the cars on the lot 😂😂 the August bros seem more stressed then Damon tbh 😂😂
I could feel the pain in his eyes, the tears and the way he laughed it off. Such a great way to come back from such an event. Matt and his partner did not look happy about this one but Damon was just happy everyone was ok. This sucks to see so much but new an better things will come from this I know it!!
Lost my 98 Lincoln Mark VIII due to a drunk driver hitting it while it was parked. You got to be some what positive otherwise you’ll be depressed. Which I am some what. Crashing a car that means something to you sucks.
Really shows how big of a guy Damon is though. I think that's why he got to where he is now cause of that. It's the car he loved so so much and he lost it. Still smiles and tells everyone it's okay. Man i'm so glad i've found this beautiful man.
It's easy enough to say, but completely different when it's $500k out of your pocket. Gotta admire the way Damon handled things, not many people would have the temperament for that.
@@Ultima_Weapon_Rasiel insurance can replace the value of a car, but not the emotion and sentiments that come along with it The murci was Damon's favorite car and it's quite literally irreplaceable, its a truly impressive feat of humanity that he was able to hold it together and not lash out
Seeing how Damon is holding in tears and still treats his friends well just reminded me one more time why i followed this channel. Cars are replaceable, health isn't. Glad everyone is okay.
Alot of respect to Damon and how he handles wrecked cars. Specially when it wasn't him at the wheel. He's like the parent that asks if their kid is ok first and not scream at them for wrecking a car.
Damon, knowing how much you loved that car makes your response to the crash all the more commendable. I’ll give you additional props for setting a positive example for your daughter.
I've never been so anxious to watch a video and then be so quickly broken hearted to watch it end. Matt and Mike's faces were so sad. They knew what the car meant and felt the pain of all of us.
Damn Damon. The way this video started with you being so positive and absolutely grateful for the luxuries of life, and then for it to end like this is heartbreaking. That Murci is an incredibly important legend of the asphalt and that manual should have never left the pavement in this way. Good on you for keeping it together and remembering what matters most. But no matter what, this one hurt.
I don’t think it really hit him. He always talks about how that was his favorite car. All the memories and the amount of money spent on it. Gone just like that
He's fine, he's getting a new car out of it. And good, profitable TH-cam content. Notice how the guys who were responsible for the damage, and the financial fallout, were not so light hearted.
The story put into this episode was heatwrenching, mad props to the editor and the whole crew who were able to put it together. Would love to see a montage of the life the murci had, the highs and the lows, as well as a DDE reaction to the montage.
This needs to happen. It would get crazy views and would love to hear the story from damon about where it all began. Would be a game changer for the channel and where he is at today. As a fellow Canadian I'm super proud as a fellow car guy from the okanagan to see how Dave and him have grown such a family now. Super rad. Keep it up definrtly need a murci montage video a super appreciative video
This is what gutted me too… the moment he walked in to the garage to see his pride and joy crashed… tears were in his eyes! Anyone could see that! But still he made the atmosphere better for everyone there! Matt and Mike looked gutted too!
@@SachinDeshansachii_in To be honest it's probably more about the future profits from that car he will lose, not the car. For all we know that car could be worth $5 million twenty years from now.
Video started with Damon saying “be happy that you get to see another day and accomplish and take new challenges” and he ended the video on the same tone - still knowing what happened to Murci. Much love ❤️
Damon you handled that incredibly well, even though it’s gotta hurt. You’ve been blessed to see a lot of cars come through the stable and as hard as it is, when tragedies occur, they open new doors for new things. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
I’ve been having a rough day today… but honestly watching you be as strong as you are is really helping me overcome my own ‘drama.’ RIP to the murcy though still 💔
You can see the relief on their faces when they saw he wasn’t upset and happy everyone was okay, you handled this great and I hope you find the right replacement
Hey Damon, Glad everyone is ok. I love your mentality and how you’re able to just move on with life. It’s such a bummer but it’ll be great if the murci can be fixed and back up on the channel again soon cuz it is one of my favourite cars too. 👊❤️
Knowing how you felt about that car, and seeing how calm you were when you saw it.... Just shows how mature of a person you are, you know what's important in life. Sucks to see it end like that, but really glad nobody was hurt. iiwii, also my favorite saying, take what life throws at you and roll with it and move on, there's things worth fussing about and an accident isn't one of them. Can't wait to see what comes next!
This one hurt to watch.. also one of my absolute dream cars. You can feel the sadness in the air at the shop through this video haha. BUT ITS JUST A CAR LIKE YOU SAID!! Glad no one was taken out along with the car!
@@jcscoatings3770 700k car i would cry if i would cry internally too lol they are super nice people tho they take care of DDE more then anyone ever would.
@@sixalpha7075 I would bet they have a hefty insurance policy that will cover it. They all looked like they could cry but really tried to keep it together. I really hope they find a new one for him. That car is amazing.
Poor Matt and Mike, they look so defeated 😞 Damon, great attitude man! I know you’re fighting back a lot, but way to take it in stride. Accidents happen!
@@lolripped nah, they're his friends, and they know he loved that car. They have plenty of money to set him up with a new ride, they're definitely more upset, as car guys, that he lost his favorite ride.
It’s terrifying listening to you talk about how much you love the merci, it being your favorite car, and how grateful you are for life and your family knowing what awaits in the video
Damon my friend, your a stronger man than I am! I know you were holding back the tears and I have never seen Matt and Mike so quiet. It's a sad day buddy, I wish you and your family and friends the very best. Also, Most of all I'm glad no one got hurt in this accident, and I want everyone who reads this to hug your loved ones tonight, and tell them how much you love them because that's what matters! R.I.P. Murci (Gone but never forgotten)
they were so quiet because their insurance is going to have to pay for it, not to mention the possibility of losing a tech. ive seen many cars that dealership employees crash from working at dealerships, and a couple body shops
Cause he knows he’s getting a new car and doesn’t have to pay for it. You could see the disappointment in Matt’s face. Someone’s going to get a long talk
@@AAlvarez14520 idk ab you but if someone crashed my Mclaren id be pissed no matter what. It’s a rare car and that’s why he has to get a new one and not just replace what’s damaged.
Matt Augusts face at 18:20 hurt me, I felt his soul leave his body when he thought about how much he owes Damon for that Merci. Not a good outcome for August Luxury Motors or DDE but Shit Happens and like they said, everyone is safe and no one got hurt. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Seeing the thumbnail and starting with you saying that the Murcy is your favorite and that you cannot wait to drive it, it broke my heart. I'm glad that nobody got hurt and you always having a positive attitude, no matter what. Stay safe.
Experienced something similar recently and gotta say u handled that way better than I did like bro deep inside it’s not just a car and something more than that to us. You set a great example for ur kid and for the people around u. this video lowkey humbled me and I needed that positive vibes, thank you keep pushing that🅿️💪🏼
I’ve never seen Matt and Mike speechless! Feel for everyone involved. On the upside, you get to replace something special with something even more special! Can’t wait to see what you get!
@@Babbans August will have insurance to cover it. However, when you have to put in a claim for that kind of money you're premiums will likely go up substantially or you might even get dropped by them.
@Daniel Tornell yes but there insurance will more than likely go up, and they still have to refund him all that he spent on parts and labour he just charged him. More than likely they'll pay Damen off with cash and not go through insurance
I was fortunate enough to see it in person a few years ago on the ace of spade rally in Toronto. No other car had as big of a crowd around it simply because of the legend you guys had turned it into. The Lamborghini Murcielago was the car that got me into supercars way back in Need for speed hot pursuit 2 on Gamecube, you guys and this very same car, reignited my passion for cars. Thanks for all the awesome content you have made with it and glas no one was injured. ❤💚🖤
Damon so sorry for your loss. I’ve been watching for many years and seen you go through many cars. Never thought you’d let the huracan tire slayer go but you did. But your murci is the one car you kept through it all no matter how many times the engine had to come out. Your obvious love for it is very clear. Please think hard before letting it go. It’ll be expensive to rebuild but this is the one car of the fleet that really deserves it. My heart goes out to you. Stay strong!
i love how you are. you are right it is just another car but people's lives are worth more. i respect you guys alot i own a 2003 jag and im trying to fix it up little by little i dont think i will ever be able to even sit in a lambo or anything of the sort but i love my car. mad respect for you and everyone and i am happy no one was hurt.
Bless up Damon! I’m sorry about your vehicle and I’m glad everyone is safe! I love how you handled the situation and material things can always be replaced! I feel your pain as I flipped over in my c63s amg two weeks after purchasing because one of the tires gave out. All that matters is that we are all healthy and alive!
The gentlemen at august had this deep expression of concern and loss on their faces… I can only imagine how the guy feels that was test driving the car. Regardless! Life goes on, GOOD CONTENT!
I love how Damon stayed strong. It's a very emotional moment. He loved talking about the Merci so much. It was his baby. Put in so much work, time, and money. Respect to you Damon. Takes a lot to hold in those emotions, especially in front of the guys and your daughter. Hope to seeing the car possibly rebuilt in your new DDE HQ.
I’m speechless brother. Being a dad myself that way you handled it was amazing. But, being car guys I can imagine how sad you must have been to get that call. RIP Murci. Glad everyone is safe.
No matter what anyone says about you now this shows so much more. They say a picture paints a thousand words. Whether or not they were driving too hard is by the by. It is just metal & carbon fibre. It can be replaced but lives can't. If I were you I would've probably gone home & had a good cry. Massive props for the way you handled this & I look forward to seeing what you do to replace it...... You know now you could go mental on a project..... V12 sleeper??? That would be so badass!!!
You guys are the best! I’ll never stop watching these videos! Keep up the hard, great work boys!! So sorry to hear about the murci glad they are all okay tho!
Wow, A year later watching this again it's still emotional. The entire video you talked up how much you love the car and how great it is. And then BOOM. the journey was over. But now it's in Mike's hands to make it better!!! Can't wait to see it back on the road.
I love how you handled that. That hurt my feelings for you. I couldn’t imagine having a million dollar car much less losing a million dollar car. Much love to you and DDE
@@__last well yeah it’s not like Damon is going to pay for it, it wasn’t even in his hands all the expenses are going to come out of august because he’s the boss of the shop but it is what it is things happen and life moves on
Rip Murcielago you will be missed 😭. Also huge shout out to Damon and the boys at August Luxury MS for being so mature and professional about it. You can feel that they are very disappointed 😔. But no one was hurt and we still get to see another day!
We all know you were crying on the inside, Damon. It’s definitely hard to hold it all inside, I can tell. Hopefully you can get another one soon or maybe something even better? 👊🏼
I'm so sorry for you Damon, after waiting all that time to get it back and finally get to drive it again and remember what it's like and then in the same day get the phone call it's wrecked. It totally sucks to see it like that after all the time and money spent over the years making it bulletproof for you. It's good you're trying to stay positive but it's ok to be upset, you can tell yourself "it's just a car" but the truth is that it was "Damon's car" and a big part of the DDE Fam that's irreplaceable. Maybe the boys at August can find you another chassis that can be used for a swap. Stay strong everything happens for a reason and things always work out the way they're supposed to. Just gotta keep faith and stay patient 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Man I respect you so much for this. If this had happened to me I would be so mad and frustrated, the way you kept your cool was amazing. Keep up the good work and even better cars will be yours!
I lost my "#1 car" to an accident a year and a half ago and am still not over it, so I can only imagine how much this hurt. Glad to see the positive perspective, cars can be replaced but lives can't
Deep down I know he's crying and holding it in on the outside. Im gonna miss it too💙😭I literally cried. He did tremendously well keeping his composure, amazing!!
You handled that like a champ. Staying strong and positive in front of your daughter is a great teaching moment. I’m glad no one was hurt, at least not physically. Matt looked like he was hurting on the inside. Love the videos and keep up the great work DDE! Can’t wait to see what comes next. RIP Murci 💔
Wow man - gutted for you - it was obvious how much you loved her!!! … but it is just a machine and there are bigger, wilder things in the horizon!!! P.s. also devastated for whoever was driving her at the time - accidents happen
Damn, the Hoof GP is here! 🤣😂…. Wow I’ve never noticed you in the comments brother! I do love your cars though so I guess it’s only natural you’d be here hahaha
I'm legit crying rn.😭I remember when the murci first came onto the channel. RIP Murci 2007-2022! Glad no one was hurt in the end. Keep up the most amazing content on TH-cam! 💛
So much love coming from near by penticton for this unfortunate accident. About a year ago I crashed my yellow eclipse spyder due to the same exact circumstances. I know how it feels to lose a car that means alot to you. So glad to see you drive it one last time, thank you for all of the amazing content ❤
Great attitude. On another note, after watching DDE for the last few months, I see why Damon is a boxer. He definitely knows how to take all the punches and not get knocked out. Dude, keep standing. We got you.
Damn, I got a lot of respect for you. That’s heartbreaking but you took it like a mature adult. Not many people in the same situation would have had the presence of mind to take care of others before themselves. The guys in the service bay were shell shocked to say the least. You’re a good dude Damon. 💪🏼👏🏼
Man holy crap that makes me look up to Damon so much more. You could see how hard that was too deal with for everyone at August and Damon allowed the best possible outcome of the situation to occur. He 100% could have blown up at them but he has such a strong reassurance of what this is all about.
"It is what it is". Also a favorite saying of mine. I love the positive outlook on the situation and so true that it's just a car. A vehicle can be replaced, but people can not. Happy to hear everyone involved were not injured.
The comments here are so positive and say pretty much everything I came to say. Your positivity and respect in the face of an unfortunate circumstance is really amazing. I felt your emotion in the last couple minutes and I have to say I’m sorry for your loss. Just a car and like you said, (coming from somebody who does not own even one Lamborghini) and nobody was hurt. What an amazing influence for your daughter to witness as well.
Damn, just when I thought we could see all the cars at the new garage. Damon even planned where it would be in the last video. Well that's just life, as long as you guys are safe.
Good for you for keeping it light. I’m sure whoever was driving feels like absolute shit. The boys at August definitely don’t look very impressed. But like you said, it’s just a car. Nobody got hurt. Good content enjoy your time at home with the family
It's not just a car, a Camry is just a car, this is a million dollar car that's going up in value. That's like comparing a trailer and a $5 million mansion and saying they are both just houses. LOL
DDE posting more and more and the content keeps getting better and better, I still remember all the way back with the 458 and the Scuderia. I’m really happy that this channel blew up like this
This hurts..loved seeing the Murci drive. Damon ur champ man handle the situation very well. I'm going to be optimistic here and hopefully we will see the Murci return to its former glory. Love DDE fam keep the great content Damon and Dave
You know what, listening to Damon's motivational speech really helps to put things into perspective about this channel, what DDE is about and also whats imprtant in life, above the jokes, the banter you can really see what this company values and i think i support honest, genuine channels that produce the content we love with integrity and the amazingly passionate people that are behind them, To DDE... 🏎💨 💙
The Best positivity you can get in this Channel. Mad props to you Damon. Love it whenYou handled it Professionaly! This is what DDE is all about...FAMILY!!! RIP Murci...🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💯💯💯
Gotta set a good example for his daughter. But yeah I think he’s trying to keep the video positive and stay positive rather than loosing his temper and giving the video a negative ending. Ultimately he recognizes that it’s out of his control and getting angry at them isn’t going to help anyone. It is really sad though I don’t have a car nearly as nice as that but I’d be devastated if I crashed
Top bloke 👏 been a fan for years from England, you can tell your heart broken but a car is a car and let's face it most of your cars are broken in some way
Im really sad that you lost the Murci, but as you said: No one got hurt which is the most important thing. And also props for keeping your mood up, surely having your daughter by your side helped alot. These things happen, not much to do about it sadly. :(
I'm so sorry Damon. My heart sank when I seen the Murci in the condition it's in. I know how it feels when the mechanic crashes your pride and joy. I feel for you Damon. The Murci is my favorite car on the channel and it's worth trying to fix. You have stuck so much money into her you can't walk away now. Keep your head up Damon. Love ya brother.
There was a few months ago (don't remember the video) when he saw another Murcy (probably not in good shape or not original) and said that he would do an insane build with it.
Geez idk how you were so calm about that. I would’ve been bailing my eyes out. Losing that car is a big deal, you can’t just pick up another gated murci. Damn Damon kudos to you for handling that so well.
Your positivity is contagious Damon! Always another car! Glad everyone is safe 🙏

Video started with Damon saying “be happy that you get to see another day and accomplish and take new challenges” and he ended the video on the same tone - still knowing what happened to Murci. Much love ❤️
Damon you handled that incredibly well, even though it’s gotta hurt. You’ve been blessed to see a lot of cars come through the stable and as hard as it is, when tragedies occur, they open new doors for new things. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
almost brought me to tears, glad she's back on the channel and returning to life.
I’ve been having a rough day today… but honestly watching you be as strong as you are is really helping me overcome my own ‘drama.’ RIP to the murcy though still 💔
Stay strong brother
im so sorry Damon. this was def my favorite car on the channel and I almost felt my heart break a little. glad everyone was okay though!
100 percent. was looking forward to see the svj meet his big bro.
Even when your favorite exotic is wrecked, you still stay positive. That is one thing I respect about you. RIP Gated Murci.
You can see the relief on their faces when they saw he wasn’t upset and happy everyone was okay, you handled this great and I hope you find the right replacement
Nothing Replaces This Car Unless its A Murcielago
Yeah because your boy is about to walk away with about 2 million credit.
The August Bosses looks really pissed. I hope this situation can be rectify peacefully. Big ups to you Damon for the positivity!
Money rectifies everything -> it's going to take alot in this case though.
Wonder if they fired the tech
@@DaMainDude insurance will probably go up for a bit. That's about it
@@bakasan2108 No it will be on the driver most likely the company he works for.
@@chrissmith1364 i know. Thats whose insurance i was talking about. And no it won't be the driver it will be the company
Hey Damon,
Glad everyone is ok.
I love your mentality and how you’re able to just move on with life. It’s such a bummer but it’ll be great if the murci can be fixed and back up on the channel again soon cuz it is one of my favourite cars too. 👊❤️
"Its just a car" bro really holding back tears rn. 💔
I'd be in a corner somewhere in foetal position bro😢
You can tell he’s super angry on the inside, but what else can he do besides try to be a good sport.
@@Halamadridistas idk if angry is the word but he’s definitely sad and broken hearted
Looks like that new v12 is free
@@richardp444 ight ngl that's messed up, but so fucking funny also
Knowing how you felt about that car, and seeing how calm you were when you saw it.... Just shows how mature of a person you are, you know what's important in life. Sucks to see it end like that, but really glad nobody was hurt. iiwii, also my favorite saying, take what life throws at you and roll with it and move on, there's things worth fussing about and an accident isn't one of them. Can't wait to see what comes next!
This one hurt to watch.. also one of my absolute dream cars.
You can feel the sadness in the air at the shop through this video haha. BUT ITS JUST A CAR LIKE YOU SAID!! Glad no one was taken out along with the car!
Yeah just a car that costs more than 4 homes. Well maybe not in CA but here on the east coast.
Exact same m8
@@otallono 4 homes can be replaced too! Human lives can’t be
Get Damon to buy it totaled and rebuild it in the Steampunk Elysium GTR Style, that would be awesome.
Yeah man that's true that was my favorite car more than the C GT
This hurts so much just watching the beginning few minutes. Damon keeps talking about how grateful he is and how much he loves his Murci.
Love how calm Damon is and then mike and Matt are freaking out internally
Yeah they gotta pay for it 😬
@@jcscoatings3770 700k car i would cry if i would cry internally too lol they are super nice people tho they take care of DDE more then anyone ever would.
Dude, he's hurting and likely pissed inside but fighting to hide it especially in front of his daughter.
@@sixalpha7075 I would bet they have a hefty insurance policy that will cover it. They all looked like they could cry but really tried to keep it together. I really hope they find a new one for him. That car is amazing.
@@Thewhitetile yea that insurance prem is about to rise lul
Appreciate your attitude man! ✊🏽 I’m sorry for your loss! She was a beauty! Like you said though, I’m glad nobody was hurt!
Poor Matt and Mike, they look so defeated 😞 Damon, great attitude man! I know you’re fighting back a lot, but way to take it in stride. Accidents happen!
Ya mainly because they now owe Damon a million dollar car 😅😂
@@lolripped nah, they're his friends, and they know he loved that car. They have plenty of money to set him up with a new ride, they're definitely more upset, as car guys, that he lost his favorite ride.
@@Emolokz it’s a joke bro
@@lolripped a poorly timed one.
@@Emolokz I thought it was a fast and furious reference "You owe me a ten second car" joke :)
It’s terrifying listening to you talk about how much you love the merci, it being your favorite car, and how grateful you are for life and your family knowing what awaits in the video
Seriously. It was like he filmed it after the crash because of how much he talked about loving it...
Great saying Damon. It is what it is! Thank God no ones hurt. Murci is kind of your favorite car but friends is more important.
Damon my friend, your a stronger man than I am! I know you were holding back the tears and I have never seen Matt and Mike so quiet. It's a sad day buddy, I wish you and your family and friends the very best. Also, Most of all I'm glad no one got hurt in this accident, and I want everyone who reads this to hug your loved ones tonight, and tell them how much you love them because that's what matters! R.I.P. Murci (Gone but never forgotten)
I'd be too if my tech happened to crash a client car
they were so quiet because their insurance is going to have to pay for it, not to mention the possibility of losing a tech. ive seen many cars that dealership employees crash from working at dealerships, and a couple body shops
Keep in mind it’s a million dollar loss !
You guys are so naiive, yes it's a million dollar loss , but it's the people you can't replace!
What an awesome attitude! I am sorry for your loss but you dealt with it like a true legend!
Damon’s cool calm and collected dad mode is amazing, wish I had a strong father figure like him, keep up the good work man
god is the father of us all
@@vojvoda-draza dork
Cause he knows he’s getting a new car and doesn’t have to pay for it. You could see the disappointment in Matt’s face. Someone’s going to get a long talk
@@oldmoosemittens2881 can’t save that
@@AAlvarez14520 idk ab you but if someone crashed my Mclaren id be pissed no matter what. It’s a rare car and that’s why he has to get a new one and not just replace what’s damaged.
Matt Augusts face at 18:20 hurt me, I felt his soul leave his body when he thought about how much he owes Damon for that Merci. Not a good outcome for August Luxury Motors or DDE but Shit Happens and like they said, everyone is safe and no one got hurt. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
That's why companies have insurance. I have no doubt August Crew will make it right.
@@sellickusa agreed, Matt seems like a great guy as well as a great businessman. I’m sure everything will go smoothly.
Literally watched this on my lunch break and went from oh hell yeah happy day’s to oh shit no way that’s terrible
@@xcelr8n Umm…if so then they’re paying about 750k too much. Never seen a million dollar Murci lol.
@@matthews852 buddy that’s a lp640 manual… this is 1 of 18 ever made
Seeing the thumbnail and starting with you saying that the Murcy is your favorite and that you cannot wait to drive it, it broke my heart. I'm glad that nobody got hurt and you always having a positive attitude, no matter what. Stay safe.
Experienced something similar recently and gotta say u handled that way better than I did like bro deep inside it’s not just a car and something more than that to us. You set a great example for ur kid and for the people around u. this video lowkey humbled me and I needed that positive vibes, thank you keep pushing that🅿️💪🏼
The whole mood of the video changed especially with the silence . Mike and Matt were literally speechless 💔
I’ve never seen Matt and Mike speechless! Feel for everyone involved. On the upside, you get to replace something special with something even more special! Can’t wait to see what you get!
Yea they're going to be out a chunk of change
@@spotimpact. thats the best bit hes not arsed but is coz he gets his money back plus more
@@spotimpact. Well i think insurance will cover most of it, and the company should have insurance for when they are testing cars!
@@Babbans August will have insurance to cover it. However, when you have to put in a claim for that kind of money you're premiums will likely go up substantially or you might even get dropped by them.
@Daniel Tornell yes but there insurance will more than likely go up, and they still have to refund him all that he spent on parts and labour he just charged him. More than likely they'll pay Damen off with cash and not go through insurance
Very impressed w/ your handling of the situation. RIP to almost everyone’s favorite car on DDE
I was fortunate enough to see it in person a few years ago on the ace of spade rally in Toronto. No other car had as big of a crowd around it simply because of the legend you guys had turned it into. The Lamborghini Murcielago was the car that got me into supercars way back in Need for speed hot pursuit 2 on Gamecube, you guys and this very same car, reignited my passion for cars. Thanks for all the awesome content you have made with it and glas no one was injured. ❤💚🖤
This honestly hurts my soul I’m glad everyone is ok hope to see the car get rebuilt one day hopefully on the channel as extra content
proud of the way Damon handled himself in this situation, i mean he literally just said this was his favorite car..... keep your head up !
Extremely professional because you know as hard as any car is to handle, there was really no excuse for this incident.
Damon so sorry for your loss. I’ve been watching for many years and seen you go through many cars. Never thought you’d let the huracan tire slayer go but you did. But your murci is the one car you kept through it all no matter how many times the engine had to come out. Your obvious love for it is very clear. Please think hard before letting it go. It’ll be expensive to rebuild but this is the one car of the fleet that really deserves it. My heart goes out to you. Stay strong!
i love how you are. you are right it is just another car but people's lives are worth more. i respect you guys alot i own a 2003 jag and im trying to fix it up little by little i dont think i will ever be able to even sit in a lambo or anything of the sort but i love my car. mad respect for you and everyone and i am happy no one was hurt.
The way you handled that is admirable, stay up Damon you’re doing big things!
Agree 💯 . DDE Fam
That was a tough one to watch. Glad everyone is ok, can’t wait to see what’s next for DDE!
This is why you’re my favorite TH-camr, you just have the greatest attitude, I’m happy you took it really well and everyone’s okay!
Bless up Damon! I’m sorry about your vehicle and I’m glad everyone is safe! I love how you handled the situation and material things can always be replaced! I feel your pain as I flipped over in my c63s amg two weeks after purchasing because one of the tires gave out. All that matters is that we are all healthy and alive!
The gentlemen at august had this deep expression of concern and loss on their faces… I can only imagine how the guy feels that was test driving the car. Regardless! Life goes on, GOOD CONTENT!
They know they have an insurance call to make
it was hayden
I love how Damon stayed strong. It's a very emotional moment. He loved talking about the Merci so much. It was his baby. Put in so much work, time, and money. Respect to you Damon. Takes a lot to hold in those emotions, especially in front of the guys and your daughter. Hope to seeing the car possibly rebuilt in your new DDE HQ.
I’m speechless brother. Being a dad myself that way you handled it was amazing. But, being car guys I can imagine how sad you must have been to get that call. RIP Murci. Glad everyone is safe.
No matter what anyone says about you now this shows so much more. They say a picture paints a thousand words.
Whether or not they were driving too hard is by the by. It is just metal & carbon fibre. It can be replaced but lives can't. If I were you I would've probably gone home & had a good cry.
Massive props for the way you handled this & I look forward to seeing what you do to replace it...... You know now you could go mental on a project..... V12 sleeper???
That would be so badass!!!
Murci is hurt af its good everybody is ok. this line increased your respect for me "its just a car it gets fixed or we'll get a new one" ❤️
yh
I like that atitude after totalling 200 000$ car. Its just a car. 😂👍
@@pauliuspovilionis2068 $200,000? Try multiples of that.
It's just made from earth
This reminded me of Wataru Kato,(Liberty Walk for the ones that don't know) he got the same mindset.
You guys are the best! I’ll never stop watching these videos! Keep up the hard, great work boys!! So sorry to hear about the murci glad they are all okay tho!
I love how positive you stay in these situations persuading everyone not to be sad. A great personality you are, Damon
That's on camera. Off camera different story.
@@tooslow4G63 well said u can see while he was hugging that guy,he wanted to kill him!🤔🤯👁🤯😯🤔🙏😱
Wow, A year later watching this again it's still emotional. The entire video you talked up how much you love the car and how great it is. And then BOOM. the journey was over. But now it's in Mike's hands to make it better!!! Can't wait to see it back on the road.
I love how you handled that. That hurt my feelings for you. I couldn’t imagine having a million dollar car much less losing a million dollar car. Much love to you and DDE
well he lost the car but august is the one losing the money
@@__last how is August losing the money?
it's not a million dollar car..
@@otallono how much r they going for now?
@@__last well yeah it’s not like Damon is going to pay for it, it wasn’t even in his hands all the expenses are going to come out of august because he’s the boss of the shop but it is what it is things happen and life moves on
Rip Murcielago you will be missed 😭. Also huge shout out to Damon and the boys at August Luxury MS for being so mature and professional about it. You can feel that they are very disappointed 😔. But no one was hurt and we still get to see another day!
Mad respect for how you reacted to this Damon. I'm impressed really. Like you said, you can replace a car, but not a life.
Damn. Props to the way you handled this Damon, much respect.
We all know you were crying on the inside, Damon. It’s definitely hard to hold it all inside, I can tell. Hopefully you can get another one soon or maybe something even better? 👊🏼
DAMMNN BRO! That sucks man, the definition of highs and lows in a nutshell lol. Gladly no one is hurt or worse like you said and time for a new car!
I'm so sorry for you Damon, after waiting all that time to get it back and finally get to drive it again and remember what it's like and then in the same day get the phone call it's wrecked. It totally sucks to see it like that after all the time and money spent over the years making it bulletproof for you. It's good you're trying to stay positive but it's ok to be upset, you can tell yourself "it's just a car" but the truth is that it was "Damon's car" and a big part of the DDE Fam that's irreplaceable. Maybe the boys at August can find you another chassis that can be used for a swap. Stay strong everything happens for a reason and things always work out the way they're supposed to. Just gotta keep faith and stay patient 🙏🏼🙏🏼
AMEN!!!!
He still have the stock parts maybe he will restore it
Man I respect you so much for this. If this had happened to me I would be so mad and frustrated, the way you kept your cool was amazing. Keep up the good work and even better cars will be yours!
I lost my "#1 car" to an accident a year and a half ago and am still not over it, so I can only imagine how much this hurt. Glad to see the positive perspective, cars can be replaced but lives can't
ok
@@thikim8562 bruh let this guy let out his feelings without "ok"ing him
What car was it
Deep down I know he's crying and holding it in on the outside. Im gonna miss it too💙😭I literally cried. He did tremendously well keeping his composure, amazing!!
You handled that like a champ. Staying strong and positive in front of your daughter is a great teaching moment. I’m glad no one was hurt, at least not physically. Matt looked like he was hurting on the inside. Love the videos and keep up the great work DDE! Can’t wait to see what comes next. RIP Murci 💔
I think Damon’s daughter being there helped him keep a positive mind set. He handled it really well and I respect him more for it.
Wow man - gutted for you - it was obvious how much you loved her!!!
… but it is just a machine and there are bigger, wilder things in the horizon!!!
P.s. also devastated for whoever was driving her at the time - accidents happen
Damn, the Hoof GP is here! 🤣😂…. Wow I’ve never noticed you in the comments brother! I do love your cars though so I guess it’s only natural you’d be here hahaha
dang Graeme your here watching DDE? that's pretty awesome
This was a tough one to watch. We all know how much you love that Murcielago. I bet I wasn't the only one hoping that this was a click bait.
I'm legit crying rn.😭I remember when the murci first came onto the channel. RIP Murci 2007-2022! Glad no one was hurt in the end. Keep up the most amazing content on TH-cam! 💛
So much love coming from near by penticton for this unfortunate accident. About a year ago I crashed my yellow eclipse spyder due to the same exact circumstances. I know how it feels to lose a car that means alot to you. So glad to see you drive it one last time, thank you for all of the amazing content ❤
Great attitude. On another note, after watching DDE for the last few months, I see why Damon is a boxer. He definitely knows how to take all the punches and not get knocked out. Dude, keep standing. We got you.
Damon I know your hurt man, even though it’s just a car, it was a rare piece of machinery that everyone will miss! R.I.P Murci
Damn, I got a lot of respect for you. That’s heartbreaking but you took it like a mature adult. Not many people in the same situation would have had the presence of mind to take care of others before themselves. The guys in the service bay were shell shocked to say the least. You’re a good dude Damon. 💪🏼👏🏼
Man holy crap that makes me look up to Damon so much more. You could see how hard that was too deal with for everyone at August and Damon allowed the best possible outcome of the situation to occur. He 100% could have blown up at them but he has such a strong reassurance of what this is all about.
"It is what it is". Also a favorite saying of mine. I love the positive outlook on the situation and so true that it's just a car. A vehicle can be replaced, but people can not. Happy to hear everyone involved were not injured.
The way you interact with your daughter is incredible, also great job in the way you handled the Lambo crash. Stand up guy Damon
Damn man…. You know you really love these guys and this channel when it feels like it was your own car that was crashed. Glad no one was hurt.
The comments here are so positive and say pretty much everything I came to say. Your positivity and respect in the face of an unfortunate circumstance is really amazing. I felt your emotion in the last couple minutes and I have to say I’m sorry for your loss. Just a car and like you said, (coming from somebody who does not own even one Lamborghini) and nobody was hurt. What an amazing influence for your daughter to witness as well.
Damn, just when I thought we could see all the cars at the new garage. Damon even planned where it would be in the last video. Well that's just life, as long as you guys are safe.
Good for you for keeping it light. I’m sure whoever was driving feels like absolute shit. The boys at August definitely don’t look very impressed. But like you said, it’s just a car. Nobody got hurt. Good content enjoy your time at home with the family
I mean, their insurance won't love this one as much..
It's not just a car, a Camry is just a car, this is a million dollar car that's going up in value. That's like comparing a trailer and a $5 million mansion and saying they are both just houses. LOL
DDE posting more and more and the content keeps getting better and better, I still remember all the way back with the 458 and the Scuderia. I’m really happy that this channel blew up like this
This hurts..loved seeing the Murci drive. Damon ur champ man handle the situation very well. I'm going to be optimistic here and hopefully we will see the Murci return to its former glory. Love DDE fam keep the great content Damon and Dave
You know what, listening to Damon's motivational speech really helps to put things into perspective about this channel, what DDE is about and also whats imprtant in life, above the jokes, the banter you can really see what this company values and i think i support honest, genuine channels that produce the content we love with integrity and the amazingly passionate people that are behind them, To DDE... 🏎💨 💙
The Best positivity you can get in this Channel. Mad props to you Damon. Love it whenYou handled it Professionaly! This is what DDE is all about...FAMILY!!! RIP Murci...🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💯💯💯
Damn, I'm really surprised on how Damon took it so "well", wish u luck Man, that was a piece of art of yours
I’m sure he’s upset but not mad. Seems like it’s the mechanic on the hook for it.. that’s why they are all speechless..
I mean he didn't destroy it so some ones insurance is paying it off so he's not super heart broken over it
Gotta set a good example for his daughter. But yeah I think he’s trying to keep the video positive and stay positive rather than loosing his temper and giving the video a negative ending.
Ultimately he recognizes that it’s out of his control and getting angry at them isn’t going to help anyone.
It is really sad though I don’t have a car nearly as nice as that but I’d be devastated if I crashed
Top bloke 👏 been a fan for years from England, you can tell your heart broken but a car is a car and let's face it most of your cars are broken in some way
Im really sad that you lost the Murci, but as you said: No one got hurt which is the most important thing. And also props for keeping your mood up, surely having your daughter by your side helped alot. These things happen, not much to do about it sadly. :(
I'm so sorry Damon. My heart sank when I seen the Murci in the condition it's in. I know how it feels when the mechanic crashes your pride and joy. I feel for you Damon. The Murci is my favorite car on the channel and it's worth trying to fix. You have stuck so much money into her you can't walk away now. Keep your head up Damon. Love ya brother.
To be honest as a die hard car guy, this absolutely breaks my heart! Please save the merci!
There was a few months ago (don't remember the video) when he saw another Murcy (probably not in good shape or not original) and said that he would do an insane build with it.
Geez idk how you were so calm about that. I would’ve been bailing my eyes out. Losing that car is a big deal, you can’t just pick up another gated murci. Damn Damon kudos to you for handling that so well.
Fr
Sorry to hear that from you. Full respect the way you handled all the situation.
