Love old cars and hot rods. Ms.Betty is cool. We have over ten thousand of the same type cars getting ready for our “coursing the coast”. Eight days of hot rods and family fun.
Hello VGG. This is Darren with Classic Chrome Coffee, just came across this video. I love it. Up there in Ohio is where I'm originally from. It is beautiful country side. I'm glad you had a good time.
What a fun family. My dad walked when I was almost six years old, so we never did anything like this, at all, ever. I envy your boys, there, mom and dad. Good work.
Sorry to hear that, but I can say, and I hope I don't offend in any way - I am prone to saying the wrong things - but some of us whose dad stayed put didn't have the best of times.
@@parlance.electricco you’re not wrong there. At times we wished he’d have left us. But we all survived and I personally made sure my kids never had to endure anything like that. God Bless !
Living the dream. Three great kids, an awesome wife and all committed to each other. Who couldn’t love a woman who would climb under the car to make repairs. Three young men who help shine up the car .Thanks for dragging us along on your latest adventure.👍👍🇨🇦
Growing up, I was always in my pop's shop helpin him wrench on things, and now that I am in my 50's and my pop is in his 80's I wrench on his cars. I have always repaired most of my own stuff, aside from really complex things, like transmissions, or an engine rebuild, I use to do everything else.. These days a disability slows me down a bit.. Heading out right now to pull plugs, and see if I can unlock a 3.7L V6
This road trip is amazing. Y'all are the best. I am from Georgia and looking so forward to meeting y'all one day. Great to see more of Jessica and the kids. What a great Family outing. Thank you for sharing. Eddie
Such a breath of fresh air seeing a traditional conservative family on a road trip like the days of old. Your boys impress me more and more of how well behaved they are. A testament to good parenting. Something that’s definitely missing in America today.
Awesome seeing the body roll when watching the sped-up road footage! And, how many of OUR wives would be rolling their eyes, and wanting OUT after 10 minutes of this tour! ?
I love these videos! Seeing Jessica and Derek handing out Matchbox cars to kids on the side of the road, and Jessica with the perfect outro! Great job, as always!!
Those kids will remember that for the rest of their life. Such a nice gesture from you and your family. BTW I'm sure your proud of your family. Great stuff.
They boys will remember the time they went on that family road trip in the big white car. How cool it was sitting on that big comfy couch behind Mom and Dad all the way.
Derek and Jess...you guys are a amazing team. Seeing how you work together made me miss my wife of 36 years who I lost just over two years ago even more. Nothing beats having someone who can be just as crazy as you with you on this journey that we call life. Thank you for including people like me in your adventures, and making us feel like we are not alone and we are there with you and your beautiful family. It makes being alone a little bit more bearable in these trying times.
Safe travels! Absolutely love the content, arguably one of the best old school mechanics out there. Never half asses anything and even if he does, still better then almost any others!
Keeping in mind the name of his channel,, get it running and move along. It's what Derek does but rest assured, if he wants to make it run and look awesum,, he can do that too.
Handing out those cars to the kids ? PRICELESS!. You could tell by their reactions, WOW! thanks man! Bet it was Jessicas idea! LOL Fantastic to see tho, VGG, best da-gone content on the interwebs FOR SURE!.
You always make day better, lost some brothers today and wasn't very happy. So glad there are Americans like you and your family, keep making good family's like this and we all have hope for the future. Make me want to take my 63 Imperial on a road trip and see all the great Americans out there.👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
I don't say it often, being a pretty hard-line cynic, but Derek, you're a damn good fella! We would be so much better off if more people had your attitude and mindset! A fella could learn a thing or three from a guy.
It’s amazing how much better off a family is when the parents love each other and stay married and raise the kids together. In the “hookup culture” of today most kids are born to a mom who doesn’t want them to know their father and probably doesn’t even know for sure which one it is himself, but if she did he would be a deadbeat who couldn’t be “tied down” by any more than a one night stand so it’s no great loss. Derek and Jessica really are the gold standard of American Families, we should all aspire to be like them.
i absolutely love how these events are put together...just a rolling celebration of goodnatured downhome likeminded souls, caravanning across this beautiful land we call America!!!! Wonderful!
Nice to see Jessica giving you support AND wrenching on the air suspension. Makes everything so much more enjoyable when she laughs at your character. Stay safe!
What a great family trip! Your sons will remember this for the rest of their lives! Glad to see Betty is not only doing well, but seems to be getting better!
Derek, you always pick the best soundtracks for your videos. And you're such a nice dude! It's a real pleasure to watch your video, you always brighten my day!
Seeing the little humans getting excited with those Hot Wheels just makes a guy smile! I'm sure it's nice to have Betty White's pants picked up! Her sagging must have been annoying.
We are enjoying following your family on the tour. I forgot about the Power Tour and we live 45 minutes east of Norwalk. Congratulations on moving to Tennessee. You will definitely find less rust. Ron and Dianne from Northern Ohio
I love this channel. Makes me envious because I never experienced a trip like this when I was a kid. Derrick and Jessica your doing a amazing job with the kids .
DEREK YOU ARE AMAZING! I posted yestarday my boy was lucky to receive some hot wheels! Here you personally handed them to him in this video! I just cant believe it! He got to meet you before I did! I'LL BE DIPPED!
Loving taking the cruise with a guy and his wife and kids. A guy is jealous! You're raising your boys up to be good men like their Dad. Jessica, i love that you're becoming more involved. It's really nice to see this!
I guy popped up in a fellas video, my Betty White shirt in full effect. I love that shirt but, it now has to be retired, since it's got a fellas signature on it. It was great meeting you, made my summer. Have a safe an fun rest of the trip.
Betty White seems to be holding up well on hot rod power tour that is awesome to see she running strong and making the trip fun and enjoyable for the kiddos and them rides are gorgeous wow 👌 👏😍👍@ViceGripGarage
I love it when Derek does nephicide like this one right after another one every day or two every day I'll watch every video he puts out because they're great vice grip garage
So enjoyable watching your channel! I've crawled under so many trucks and hypo cars to work on and even welded under them and have been real lucky not to get rust or steel in my eyes. I learned from experience after getting metal in my eyes to wear eye protection and when you are young in your 20s you might think there isn't a problem like that but I learned from experience after going a eye doctor twice to have the metal removed. That also goes with using a grinder just be careful working under all equipment. A friend of mine who is active in Mopar Car shows found out the hard way and he was grinding metal and never wears a hat when welding or working on cars ran his hand through his hair and got a sliver of metal in his eye and had to have a eye doctor remove it so he learned a lesson early. That old Cadillac might have had the airbags in the coil springs we use to use air shocks on the Mopars but went to changing the leaf springs or lengthened shackles and added traction bars. You instill a wealth of information on getting the forgotten vehicles back on the road and as far as I am concerned, these old vehicles are far more practical than today's "cookie-cutter" cars and at least a back yard mechanic can work on them!
At 8:16 that is my good friend Demetrius 1972 Cutlass. That car was just finished not very long ago. Less than a month I believe. Of all the cars a guy could show in a video, it makes me smile seeing a close friends car pop up. Thank you Derek, Jessica, and the boys. You guys giving hot wheels cars to kids made my heart smile. Keep it up!
A guy is just a bundle of talent. Imagine balancing the instructions on yer toe while working in total darkness due to sudden blindness caused by wife's sun lamp. Perfect.
Dayton Ohio... In August of 2003 I bought a '68 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible on eBay from a guy in Dayton. Flew one-way from Atlanta to Dayton and drove it home. Starter solenoid quit (of course) while I was somewhere in Kentucky. Shoulda known an old Ford starter solenoid would go out. LOL. I had bought a AAA membership before I left, and the tow guy simply towed me to the local auto-parts store and we replaced it. :-) Kept that car for 15 years.
My husband and I enjoy your preservation of the cars with one wheel in the crusher and doing it with humor. Keep those challenges coming-- it beats regular programming by mile.
i am in surry community college at the moment and these videos really help with my stress from school thank you so much cant wait to build my future just like Derick has built his
Just got back home myself! Glad to have met Jessica yesterday! Talked to her about you guys coming up to Louisville next year for the Street Rod Nationals!
Very entertaining to be included in your road trip. I'm an old grandad now and this brings back memories of a 69 Cougar I bought in college years which I installed AIR SHOCKS just like those on the Betty Caddie! Which out, they tend to slowly leak out (but now u have new air lines and fittings so good luck). Your wife is terrific, and so are your kids. Really enjoying your trip!
THIS IS A M E R I C A! Not that crap you see in the news or in DC. This is where the spirit of America lives!
Your boys gave my son a Hot Wheels car in Dayton. Made his day! Keep doing what you do and God Bless!
That is so incredibly awesome.
👌 nice!!!
This is awesome & I was hoping to see comments about it. Thank you
This is super! I need to tickel my own old ride and get it out there too. Thanks for commenting I enjoy this channels videos alot.
My granddaughters got 1 too thete
Giving out the Hotwheels and Matchbox cars to the local kids is a great thing for your own kids to be part of. Giving back is always a positive
I love the fact that yours is a resurrection as opposed to a restoration. So cool.
These long road trips build lasting memories for the kids involved. I’m getting close to 40, but I still have fond memories of driving all the way to Washington state from the middle of the US. I was only around 6 years old at the time.
What a sweet heart his wife is! I just love seeing relationships that are successful! I pray they stay that way for all of their lives.
Amen!!!
was thinking the same thing!
Funny how I’ve never seen a video about how Derek supports her interests. I guess that would not be “success” according to most men.

@kevin barker It just gives them character.
Love that Mrs. Vice Grip doesn't mind helping on the shocks. Love the Vids!
