I think for the people that didn't turn up, it was a big missed opportunity, networking with him could lead onto other things for example, going on that meet was a toe in the door.

What's wrong with his wife? you know she was successful and had money when they met, also tried out to be a wrestler so not to be messed with.

idk why people knock him, he went from being homeless to where he is now, starting out selling pistachios.

He doesn’t read this thread you know, he’s not going to adopt you so you can call him daddy.

I actually like Manny. Very cringy but a friendly and funny guy.

I'm just not a fan of his wife, I find her annoying and she's quite rude towards others when she's in his videos. She's the definition of a trophy wife.

hehe

He’d definitely read this thread if it was wrapped generously in Hermès leather.

Had a few DDE vids pop up in my suggestions, all along the lines of running out of money, bank not loaning and then having to sell some cars, not watched any yet, but does sponsoring the Gumball cost that much? Or is it all a storm in a tea cup?

The trouble is that not everyone displayed DDE stickers on their Gumball cars, so the sponsorship money was wasted.

It would appear so, Damon has had to sell two cars to afford the grey manual Murcielago. Of course he’s stretching out which two into another video.

Or this could be another load of DDE nonsense and all made up just for clicks.

I do believe that Damon struggled to get the lease for the Murcielago, but I don’t think he had to sell two cars. I think he doesn’t plan to feature the cars he’s selling on the channel anymore, so it would be a good time to sell them at the same time as buying the Murcielago. In the latest video he’s revealed that he’s selling the 550 and another car that he’ll reveal in the next video, though the person who had the job of bringing the cars Damon is selling to Canada seemingly brought the wrong cars. I’m not sure if it’s genuine or not, but it did cost Damon $30,000 to import the track Lamborghini. He also said the parts cost of repairing the Lamborghini that did Gumball is $12,000, DDE isn’t short of money, it’s just they’re spending a lot on the McLaren and the F12.

DDE leases all of their cars through August who allow DDE to register the cars in Alberta and save on the (provincial) luxury tax. Technically, this is illegal because Damon doesn't live in Alberta. However, my guess is that the cars are being registered to a numbered company and then sent down to California. If he were to drive the cars locally, I believe he would be allowed to drive the car for 30 days before registering locally and paying the luxury tax.

Lol so her treating her husband well and other men not so well is a problem? You guys are pathetic. If she treated other men well, you would be claiming "she must be cheating on Manny!!11!1!!one!"

So I've recently stumbled upon JWW after a long while and really enjoyed his Nordschleife videos. I liked the direct comparo between the setups and wheels. And he's really improved as a driver, great bit of driving on the Ring.

Still foggy as to who really owns the cars or who's Darren IRL, but nevertheless

I don't much like his content but I saw a video of him pedalling the new GT3RS around Spa I think and he can certainly pedal
