Good channel, neat to see him cross paths with a Ford.

I swear that fella shares some DNA with old Red Green. I would like to hear him say... "keep your stick on the ice" to know for sure.

I’m a fan of VGG. Derick is hilariously funny. He posted his race on the tube yesterday. So sad he rolled that nice Ranger. Help me understand!! For those who don’t know VGG it’s vice grip garage on YouTube. He’s a reviver of abandoned vehicles.

He said the custom "Track bars" under the axles were affecting the handling. Acting like a pro sway bar instead of an antisway bar.

He also pointed out that he got hit underneath which caused the turn in before getting hit and flipped.

There's a lot going on, so I'm not assessing blame until I watch that moment at least 5 more times with full attention.

What I will say in that the guy from VVG is a honest, genuine person who is way more mature than others I've seen on YouTube and in the ring.

He was genuinely upset about the damage to the Ranger and was not petty about what happened.

I bet he posts many videos of fixing that Ranger up.
