This is, by far, the best channel on RUclips. It has everything a guy loves. Old cars, a great family, and awesome content that just might teach a guy something a time or two. Thanks for the awesome content!
And no bulls**t
I agree with this comment 100%
Best channel in ANY media I say....
@@ingares any new films out
Tied with hickok45 to me!
Jessica is such a trooper! Your a lucky man Derek
Just thinking that. Not one complaint, just smiles. What a lady!
Me also thinks that, guy won the fricken lottery there. Well , way the better than the lottery. He has some well behaved good boys too. All around great American family !
Understatement. Keeper.
You guys do understand if you get a woman who actually loves you she will support your zany hobbies. I'm writing this as we drive with a trailer to pickup a 1993 honda eg to make a shitbox racecar.
He's luckier than me, because he can kiss my ass and I cant! 😂🤣 please don't get upset I love this dude, its just a joke! 🥰
So much content in the past few days. Boggles the mind!
Bottles my mind as well
Makes a guy want a wobble pop or ten! 🍻
Bottles the mind yes. Time to grab a Cold snack
Derek is too good for us
Im trying to figure out what has happened
I like the way you cruise the whole way without getting in the passing lane! That's the way to enjoy a trip.
🤘
Watching a family enjoy a road trip together just like the good old days. Sometimes you forget what things were like until something reminds you.
This was my life growing up. Big family, visiting relatives. Except we traveled in 40s and 50s buick’s, Living on the farm. one room house, well, outhouse, one light hanging from the ceiling. My first car at 15 had a blown engine. rebuilt it under the shade tree. I wouldn’t change my childhood with anyone.
Gotta have the fender skirts. Lol and some curb scratchers
I remember when we rode behind the backseat and star gazed
That is a classic land yacht, floats down the hiway i bet
Strangely enough, I remember these family trips with a bit more…tension.
AH your boy wearing the Metallica t shirt 😎 just warms this old metal heads heart ✌
Hell yeah! This 42 year old metalhead spotted that too!🤘
This 52 year old metal head also noticed the t-shirt. Look at us old metal heads coming together to rock out. I went to Ozzy's ultimate sin tour In New Orleans I think in 1987. Metallica was the opening band. I also believe Randy Roads was still alive. I was tripping on blotter acid. It was an awesome show. I will never forget about it. It was the first time I had real tunnel vision on acid. Really cool and thank you for jarring the memory lose! I believe it was the kill'em All tour!!

@@hillbillyhicks8102 Hey yeah Bro I was at the Monsters of rock tour in 89 as well good times
Raising em right
Dang it! It's tearing me up thinking of the memories you y'all are creating together, especially for those boys. Doing exactly what your doing is some of the best memories I have as a kid.
Thumbs up right back at yah boys 😆👍
Amen to that! When I was 8, we drove from CA to MN. Did it again when I was 11. Great trip. Great memories.
@kevin barker 😆 so true! I'm surprised my dad didn't throat punch us kids on long road trips!
My best memories where made in a couple different vehicles.
1963 Chevy Impala, (still have)
1975 International 4X4 reg cab short bed, (trying to track down)
1977 Chevy Bonanza 400sb 4x4
Exactly, I remember them well.
@@Rusty.1776 I never was throat punched on a road trip but I do remember getting a spanking on the side of the highway.
Your wife is so prepared every time she's the perfect wife with 3 kids and you she's awesome!!!
I’ve never felt such genuine affection for a RUclips channel as I do this one. Great stuff!
Same... the friendliness
He said: "Send Me junk !"
😯😯😯🍗🍖🥩🍽️
The 89 people that gave a thumbs down could win the lottery and still be mad. This is truly the best channel on RUclips.
They're Tesla fanboys who just don't get how awesome a road trip is.
For me, someone who doesn't know the difference between a crescent wrench and a crescent roll, the channel still entertains and even edumakates me some. Love the beautiful old Caddy and fam on the road. Stuff like this fills up my boring days stuck inside, sick and on oxygen and scared of this damn virus at 74 years old. If I'd known I was gonna get this old, I'da taken better care of myself!
Hoping and Praying for many more HEALTHY years in your future.
His videos really are a good way to pass time. Good personality and good family values are hard to find in a person these days. Take care.
Keep on keeping on Catherine and your only 74 years young not old
Reject fear Catherine, keep that sense of humor and stay positive. I wish you the best
@@garystearns784 Thanks fellers. If I could fix my peepers on ya I'd give ya a thankee nod and a thumbs up.
My Mom's 79, and she says she'll be here till God comes for her...so if she can make it, you can too.
Derek and family are the only celebrities we should look up too,seriously you guys are hope for a lot of us
"My three boys are growing like weeds". I love that one.
Yeah, put a smile on my face too! A true Derekism.
My words exactly. Growing like weeds!!
Well, I’ll Be Dipped! Vice Grip Garage is moving to the Free State of Tennessee! Welcome to the South Y’all! I enjoy both yer channels!
Loving all the content Brother. You have a awesome family. None of you will ever forget these times spent together.
Thanks for watching
Total respect to the marriage you two have. Driving all day and editing a video at night is in itself a very tall task but keeping everyone full of snacks and food is another. Excited to see how your family trip goes. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Thanks Jason
Indeed! Your wife is awesome and those boys are so well behaved!! Awesome family!!
Thank you Derek and family for taking us along for the ride.
As I was watching, I was remembering 20 years worth of road trips with my boys. Thank you for sharing one of yours with us. Gives old fellers like me a tear or two remembering those days.
Good stuff. There is a reason folks are tuning in more to private content like this vs the bizzaro nonsense we get force fed through mainstream media these days.
You moved to Tennessee! That is freaking awesome! There is so much to do here, so many cool people, it's so car friendly and best of all, zero rust.
Close enough now that I could actually buy or sell a car from/to him someday without having to take a 6 day roadtrip!
Moved to TN!! Ill have to come say hi when im back up there visiting the family.
You and Scotty Kilmer should meet up sometime being that you both live in Tennessee...you'll could have a blast talking cars!
@@larrysutton925 Scotty Kilmer is in Houston
@@dougdier3104 I believe he moved to Tennessee a few months ago...he talked about it in some of his videos
Road trip is great in a Cadillac because it'll be like driving a living room couch to your destination. (Two couches 3:34 😂)
This is my favorite American car channel. Vice Grip Garage Is basically the American version of the Aussie channel Iron Empire. ( I'm Aussie 🇦🇺)
VGG you are the absolute best car channel out there period, end of story. Remember when that Caddy was just sitting in the swamp. That triple white beauty has been given a 2nd lease on life thanks to you Derek. Hope you all have a ball 👍👍 on the tour. Looking forward to each and every episode.
Him pulling that caddy out was the first vgg video I watched... Been saying I don't know, I'll bee dipped and hooked on watching ever since!
True that !
One of my favorite episodes.
Reminds me of when I was young and my parents would take my brother, sister and me on long road trips. They could not afford hotels or motels so we slept in church parking lots in the car and then in the morning wash up at the gas station and have a cooler for food. We got to see a lot of country that way. Great trips and great times. You never lose those memories. Thank God I had the best caring and loving parents you could ask for. Hats off to you and the family!!
Same for me only dad sprung for cheap motels.Did it pulling a camper too,that's a whole other adventure.
Love how your including the family in this trip. Your truly a roll model to them 3 boys…
Brings back memories with my late wife and my 3 boys cruising my 72 Olds 98 455
This is a wholesome family trip. I've never seen myself wanting to start a family but this has definitely lit a fire in my heart. Thanks for the awesome content as always! 👍
I could tell you the downsides to put that fire out if u like.
Buy something. Quick. Before you can't.
Family is real wealth bro
Thanks for Makin' a Guy get emotional bout Road Trip Memories with the Family, back in the Day, when Big Blocks were King & the Rainbow still meant God's Covenant with Noah!
Traveling Mercies to "Betty White & Crew"...
🙏🙏🙏
man, I remember family trips like this - back when I was a kid in the 80's.
windows open, stops few - the road open . quite an experience.
Those around the neck pillows are the single greatest invention for travel in my life time. I use the inflatable ones if I am flying. Work great.
I can just imagine how nice the ride is on that Caddy on a highway road trip. The comfort is worth the lesser mileage.🥳🇺🇸
It's sad to see you leave the ND / MN area :(. You were a great representation of the type of wholesome people we have out here!
Wonder why the move? warmer?
@@MicroSoftner gettin sick of all the rusty cars maybe? Haha
@@MicroSoftnerOn one of his shows he mentioned the cold Minnesota winters, which probably made 5 months of the year finding, and working on cars outside more of a hardship.
Couldn't be because of politics in MN.
Also Tennessee has no income taxes
Greatest dad and husband ever to take the family along on a trip like this. So cool that everyone is into it too. 👍👍👍👍
thank you for taking me on this trip. I'm stuck at home after some major surgery, getting cabin fever :)
Nice to see a family actually getting along with one another on a road trip.
Thank you for bringing us all along no fighting kids in back I'm impressed
I have 3 brothers and we never fought! LOL. Dad and Mom took us all over in a 62 rambler classic then we moved up to a 64 dodge dart wagon for more room as we got to be young teenagers. I know I'll never forget those trips. They have an edit button but we can imagine.....
My dad had a 1974 Lincoln Mark IV in the late 80s. This reminds me of the road trips we took in that thing. What a beast of a car.
I’m having fun jumping backward and forward in time, watching stuff from years ago, then days ago, then years ago. 😂❤
So, Jessica is so awesome, that sometimes I can't believe it. The amazing part of your family is that you are relatable and appeal to people from the 1950's to the 2020's. Great work! Just enjoy the good stuff!
Uhhh, mostly to us from the 1950's. But that's OK!!
I had a good family unit too, but it was my mother who was the handy one. My dad could grill steaks and change out swimming pool filters. That was the extent of his handiness. Go figure.
My mom could change out an AC light switch expertly among other skills. I get my mechanical aptitude from her side. I get my crass and juvenile sense of humor from my dads side. LOL.
I'm plenty good with that.
Derek, your editing's great stuff. I was in tv production/engineering for a long time.... this is top notch work.
Wow, thank you
I was just thinking the same thing. "This is better than most TV shows"
❤️
Got to make a fella proud to have the beautiful wife an good kid's like you do!!!!! Keep doing you Derek an god bless 💯💚🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please don’t ever change the channel and it’s content. Such a great channel.
_Derek: [Touches hot thing] "Oh, that's hot, whatever this thing is."_
_Jessica: "I told you not to burn yourself."_
_Derek: [Touches hot thing again] "Ouch, that's hot, whatever this thing is."_
I'm just smirking, I've done that far too many times, myself. Twice in one making-lunch-time a guy has touched the stove element immediately followed by the pan. I'll tell ya, I ain't a specimen of manliness and ability-to-fearlessly-grab-fire, it heckin' hurt me wee piano fingers
Ha ha ho yeah, I hear ya. A lifetime of playing with these stubbly fingers has a feller convinced that next time around I'll order up the extra long size ivory ticklers. And keeping them mostly un-blistered will be job one.
@@motomuso right
"Oh I forgot to put my gas cap on." Great start.
The transmission in that '70 Cadillac must be in pretty decent shape, along with a well-tuned engine in good condition. I'm not surprised that it had been getting over 14 MPG. It's probably running as efficiently as it did back in the early-70's.
TH400s just go and go......the old school stuff just handled neglect and age better.
@@hoost3056, they often had a slight slip from 1st to 2nd, but would run fine like that forever if you didn’t beat them.
New radial tires also contribute to better fuel economy, as radials have less rolling resistance than bias-ply tires. The hole in the muffler results in less back pressure, helping to lower fuel consumption. When the muffler falls off the MPG will improve even further..
@@brianevans656 Muffler delete = weight reduction!
I can't imagine how that's possible! I could believe 10....but 14?
What a great guy and a beautiful family.
those yachts are so nice, and if you ever do hit something, the hood is so long the ambulance will make it on scene before you do.
LOL!
That’s great.
Something my grandmother would’ve said.
So you moved to Tennessee. That's what all us Minnesotans should do. Thank you for the family road trip. I'll be riding along with you all the way!
I Wonder how far from Scotty Kilmer he is.
That's quite a move. Is a guy selling some fun cars?
I totally missed the TN relocation. Big jump for y'all from MN and the extended family.
They are going to melt down here.
@@designsinorbit He says so in this video, lol. A couple of times at least.
@@george8873 that is true … we obviously notice that. But I was not aware that relocation had been mentioned PREVIOUSLY in videos. So big surprise to me at least
👍🏻
@@clausmadsen6754 same here. I don’t remember even a skoche of a mention previously. In fact I thought they were building on some family property in Dakota somewhere. A guy needs some clarification.
Who would have ever guessed this old girl would go on a family road trip again in it's life? Awesome!
The good ol antenna wire through the middle of the windshield brings back some memories of cruising down to thrifty's drug store for an ice cream cone with my grandpa. Those were the good old days where all you had to do is keep your room clean and do your homework before dinner😉👍
You moved away from the arctic north? Finally, congratulations! But aren't you afraid you'll miss those 6-foot snowdrifts in May?
One of your best episodes, and that’s saying a lot cause you’ve got one of the best channels on RUclips!
Great family you and Jess have!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I have a '69 cadillac, sedan Deville, that hasn't run in 25 years. At 72, my poor vision, no longer, lets me drive. But I do remember the roadtrips, in those big boat cars. I also enjoyed my first big boat [ brand new ] 1968 Oldsmobile 98, & got 18 miles per gallon, on the highway. Thank you again & I wish you & your family, many happy times together.
Ah, Derek, this video has brought back memories of my childhood and trips with my parents across two continents. One memorable trip with my dad had us stranded on the side of the road while he took the fuel make it hapener apart to clean the bowl of debris. Then I got to push the car 3 times while he popped the clutch. The 4 time I was done in but dad remembered to turn the key on, and it started.
I think your Dad just wanted to make sure you'd remember it years later.😊
@@habsom1406 it is indeed a fine memory of time with my dad. As I watch the video of Derek and Jessica with the boys it does my heart good just thinking of the memories they are making for the future
Congratulations on the move to Tenn! It's a great decision.
The time lapse out the windshield with the antenna wires in it instantly brought me back to my first car. 1974 Impala 4 door hardtop. Very similar to Betty. Hit a deer with it in 1999 and wrote it off. Wish I still had it. Miss it everyday. Love the channel and the build. Long live the B bodies!
Living the American dream, perfect! Driving across the country in a big block 60's or 70's American car cannot get any better!
Welcome to the South Derek. You're going to love it. Lot's of friendly folks and humidity.
Much love from Western KY.
He’s gonna hate the humidity. It’s terrible here in eastern KY
What a great video. You can't beat a good old family road trip in some classic American iron. Safe travels!
Derek and his hand motions always make me laugh.
I like the sound effects to its nice to see the younger generation fix and save stuff and his wife and the kids too are learning👀👍😎
Derek knows Hand Jive maybe hambone too. 😁
Love this stuff. Abandoned Cadillac to a family cruiser cruising roads again!!!
She's beautiful man. I'm so glad you kept the big gal original. I've seen so many old cadillac's go to the crusher over the last few months, and many people buy a prestine car just to gut and rat out.. It takes alot of work to bring them back this way. My '69 is coming out of storage, and I couldn't be happier.
Betty White is definitely my favorite family transportation device on VGG
My girlfriend's weekend luggage would have taken up that whole trunk, so shout out to Jessica! 😂
Those Caddy trunks are huge. We used to sneak 5-6 people into the drive in movies in the trunk of my buddie’s Caddilac!😂😂
The "told you not to burn yourself" take cracked me up so hard
The car, the family, and the trip are a true piece of Americana that we should all appreciate! Thank you Derek for sharing!
Welcome to Tennessee, I live over by Cookeville. When I retired from the Army I moved here. Thanks for the content!
Athens area here.
Nice to have the old Caddy getting it done! Hauling the fam, and having fun in a old car is what's it is about!
Great to see you and the family out and about.
That's definitely a 4 body size trunk! So happy you kept her and gave her some love and care just gorgeous 🤩
I've learned by listening to Derek that, Words are fun!
Especially the bleep boops bops!!!
I remember taking epic trips like this one with the parents and one younger brother in a loaded 1968 Pontiac Bonneville station wagon, with the rear facing third row bench seat. Getting truckers to honk their horns was fun!
I've wanted to see more test driving of these old cars after you fixed on em. The power tour is a perfect opportunity for it. Glad to see the lone wolf bringing the family along on an adventure. I hope its mostly smooth sailing.
What a great way to settle a feller in, much love vgg
thanks for watching
I must say this is one of my more favorite videos you posted I love seeing you and the family bonding enjoying the open road in a forgotten car
This was so surprisingly wholesome. Like food for the soul in this world of absolute craziness.
So, how long, I wonder, will it take for the MN "O's" to take on a TN "twang?" The dialectic mix could get interesting.
A feller was wondering that himself...🤣
It's gonna be funny when he says fuel make it happener to a southerner..
But then again, some o these here southern boys have their own dialectic themselves..👌
Won't happen. Have a friend that moved from NoDak to SE KS. She's been here 8 years and fakes her Kansas accent to keep from awkward conversations with strangers lol
his is not that far off honestly. few things are different but if i never knew he was from mn id would have thought he was from neck of the woods.
@@SethRileyOkieFromNotMuskogee "Kansas accent" never heard anyone use those two words together before.
I have some friends from MN that moved here to IN 35 years ago. The MN "O's" never go away.
I love the fact that you'se are using these cars to make family movies and graet memories with your Family.All the best to you and your Family from Dindee Scotland.👍👍✌👊👊
Thanks for the great content Derek, you didn't have to share this family trip with us but you did. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we are forever grateful for your excellent work and making us a little happier in this world. Again, thank you! 🙏
Welcome to Tennessee!! So glad you are moving here. Uncle Tony’s Garage is here as is Scotty! Moved to Nashville from Michigan s decade ago, love it here!! Open House fer some fellers and gals!!!
Bus Grease Monkey is in Tennessee now too.
Your Guitar Sage too
as is Goonzquad and Whistlindiesal
That in window antenna brings back childhood memories
By far the best and most wholesome channel on RUclips. It is truly amazing to have stumbled across somebody like you Derek in this messed up, materialistic and social media driven world where people are so screwed up. Knowing we can tune in here and tune out all the world noise and have a really good time, plus learn something, from you is just awesome. You’re very talented and I wish you all the best. This guy is amazing… He’s on a 2000 mile road trip and still provides us with new content at the same time. I was worried we wouldn’t get a new video for a month!!!!
Thanks for the kind words
Well again, thank you for the content. Safe travels and I’ll be following along…
Waiting to see some more Ramblers
Well said, A R!
Appreciate you taking us along in your life Derek. Always a good time.
Keep on cruising that caddy! Have fun!
I'm tripping guys. Totally love this stuff
I've road tripped your great country twice.
Here in New Zealand all we see is press covered politics Thank you sooooo much for sharing a part of America with the rest of the world and letting us share a glimpse of your family's life in what seems to be the america we aspire to
Yep the news just shows what they want everyone to see. 99% of the people here really are normal people that just wanna live their lives.
Did you see what gas costs there. He's paying $47 for '65 litres' but $140+ here. So cheap, even with our 69c exchange rate if we went there. I did the US trip in '89.
@@moyadapne968 I paid 2.58 a gallon last night for gas where I live. 46 dollars for 68 liters.
That's a whole lot more than it was in January. I was paying under 2 dollars a gallon then.
@@mullinsjm1 Our gas was $2.34 in January, now it's $3.67 a gallon in Eastern Washington. 😔
Those Cadillac’s were built for the entire family to cruise in luxury . Looks like a real good time .😎🤠😊
15:05 A shout out to all the cool truckers out there that amused me as a little kid, by honking their airhorns when I asked them to do so during family road trips. :-)
The laid back self deprecating humor got me to subscribe to this channel . Also no bull crap Hollywood antics like other rusty car channels .
Thank you for taking the Caddy, that made it a guarantee that I will watch every Vid on this trip.!!
just to see allmost everysingal transmission work for you in everysingal video no matter how old they are, is great to see that usa made is best!
The boy has a METALLICA shirt on!!! Give him high fives for me.....
I love the Caddy. Best of all things to you and yours good sir.....
Just a tip with plugged jet inside the carb. With the engine running and air cleaner off, place your hand on the choke flap , fully hit the throttle and quickly shut the choke flap then release the choke and let off the throttle. See how well that works after a time or two.
Welcome to Tennessee!
I just recently discovered your channel and love it! Even my wife loves watching. We’ve decided that you’re the Bob Ross of the automotive world.
Taking me back a couple of light-years thank you
The good news is that with a move to Tennessee, Derek will not be paying any income tax to the state.
love how you split this project up into multi uploads. worked out great for me more content over time :)
This is my favorite channel. I look forward to each and every episode. Seeing you with your family really warms a guys heart.
Hats off to you my man, including your wife and kids and allowing them to experience the things you love doing! Just not enough of that going on today! Keep up the content!
Thanks for sharing your adventures and your family with us Derek and Jessica. You guys are real entertainers. Much love from Australia guys!😉🇦🇺
Completely forgot about antennas in the windshield until the first window shot. Safe travels. My dad had a 71 Cadillac Calais, took a few road trips in that, great car.
Windshield antenna was what caught my eye right off. Oh the memories.
Thank you for sharing this family trip. My kids are grown now but we traveled to many places in our home of Australia.
Great times so treasure every second.
Especially now that you can't even leave your home in Australia. Sounds like a tyrannical government. Here in the U.S we are headed down the same rode. At least we haven't been disarmed YET.
@@JP-dw1fp Enjoy your freedom while you have it. I'm certain your current administration is watching what's happening in Australia with glee. I'm sure they want to implement the same system in the US.
