I think Vickie is just Cool, and I know why I really look forward to seeing all You Guys and Gals so much, just down to earth Good People........and you all Love those Fur babies too. Love seeing Old Glory in the back yard too....Just Awesome.. And Yes the Garage does need a Train Too.....
I love the wind blowing your seat around comment, sounds like my place lol..... Its been almost 30 years I spoke to my father, not getting into details. But I try my best to give my children what I didnt get, and went with out to put a smile on their faces. To me its worth more than a new truck. Love the videos and keep up the good work, Billy fixing up the old J.D. meant a lot and its nice to see the simple things in life are what matters.
I like watching you & your wife bicker back & forth but also you're family has a awesome bond that is hard to find these days.. keep doing what you're doing & stay blessed
I still do with what I got. 37yrs married 5yrs ago I bought my wife a new car instead of buying a new truck to pull the racecar with an did that on my birthday lol but was worth it to me to see her face when I did. I left home at 13 an never looked back from a very abusive stepfather and my biological father had passed on. But I think I have done pretty good for my family and have owned my own shop now for 20yrs. It's only the wife an 1 other guy an me an even we the shop we do with what with have an just use the 40yrs of me working on cars an trucks. My Vickie is a great woman an the love in our 4 girls an 9 grandson follow suit with yours. Thanks for sharing ole man lol
This is exactly why I follow you and your entire extended family! Your family content is so relatable on both sides of my generations. Being raised in the Ohio river Valley near wheeling I know the places you talk about and mention even living in Texas the last thirty years. Keep it up and I wish your family the best.
I met my wife in 1990 and married in 92. We never had kids and watching your videos make me realize what we missed out on. We've always had a dog and I have had several 55 Chevys that I street raced the $%&@ out of. I too love ebay. I started building motor mounts for my wifes 55 yesterday but I'm hurting today. I got to do a vid today though. We have quite a bit in common. Dang I love your videos Bill. AND I watch the kids videos too. I cannot wait for the 55 and your Nova to get some love
You last statement is so true.....I too came from a family who did without....My dad was a bulldozer operator for 40 yrs and will I was a kid back in the late 50,s and 60,s that kinda work didn't pay much at all....But we were a family and we stood together....Thanks for all the great videos
I'm a poor boy originally from East Liverpool, Ohio. SRC Garage is my absolute favorite channel. I have lots of respect for you and the sacrifices made to put smiles on those boys' faces !! May God Continue to Bless you and your family!!
This question is for Mrs. Vickie.... My girlfriend wants to know what kind of flowers are the yellow ones by the tree? She asked if we could go to Ohio and get a clipping 😂. I'm sure the have them in Tennessee! Thank you in advance.
@@momhoskinson2813 I'm an idiot 😂. They are the pink ones at about 4:30 in the video, they are next to the tree when Billy is blowing the horn🙉. And thanks for the offer, we have plenty of dandelions!!LOL
@@momhoskinson2813 he looks like billy in that 88 photo. wait till you guys have grand kids everything changes... we got 2 boys, blonde hair n blue eyes. and me and my wife are both dagos. lol
Thank you for letting us into your lives, I really enjoy all of your families videos. I have a 13 yr old daughter that runs a 383 powered s10 at a local outlaw track and am hoping that our story turns out as well as yours! Thank you again for your inspiration and ideas hon how to keep her safe.
That was so cool to see Berlin in your video! My girlfriend and I live in Bolingbrook, IL and went to Berlin about 5 years ago and LOVED it! Brought back great memories and would love to go back sometime soon! We both love to watch your videos ( especially the goofiness between you and Vicki!!) and always can't wait for the next one.
Saw you guys at edgewater Friday night. Was hoping the rain would go away for Thornhill Saturday so i could watch some more racing. I did buy a tee shirt to help with the s10. Hopefully you reschedule the Thornhill event i grew up down there. But i didn't go to any races last yr at all. I miss the race track for sure!
Love your channel and family your a great father i lost my father 2 years ago and its still very hard for me to get by without him. Great racing family and always there for each other. A good old American flyer train set would be awesome in your great shop.
I hope you truly understand what a blessing all the channels you all have are to us viewer's. I shared a while ago about my wife battling cancer and how much you all helped me cope with it, on the 9th she went to Heaven so I have not been watching much. I finally attempted to do something normal for my self and what a treat to have so many videos to watch from all the channels. I was heart broke to hear about Billy's motor, excited for Tommy, and thankful for even Molly's Stang. (not a Ford fan) To be able to see such a wonderful family and extended family enjoy life and each other makes my heart start to heal a little. Thank you and God Bless
I am sorry to hear that sir,Keep your head up , i just lost the two biggest influences in my life and then someone hits my dog and rips him in half. Im going thru my own demons actually im thru it on the otherside . Never thought there was another side, any rate i love racing and hot rods of all kind and there are so many good people in this comment section that i can relate to. Its an outlet and it helps ALOT of people, i think this family was meant for this and i hope they never change, they are the sun drawing all us stars in its up to us how bright we shine.
You and your family are so fun much to watch. Been subbed to SRC channel for a few years now. Really enjoy your channel also. Thanks and keep up the awesome content.
Bill, I just picked up a John Deere mower just like yours, this one is a parts tractor. I was going to offer up the hood, But I see the boys got you a early Father's Day gift. It looks great. If you guys really like the Amish Shops, you need to come up to Geauga County and hit Middlefield Swiss Chelsea and all the real world Amish shops up here. Mullets boot shop is fantastic. Then we have a place we call the Amish Sanford and Son's. He has tons of stuff that they have picked up at auctions and sales. You never know what you'll find there. We bought some over stock 16" x 24" Windows for our storage shed. Then we looked around and they had 3 semi loads of 3"x24"x6' Pink foam insulation that was reclaimed from a building that was taken down. We paid 1/4 of the price to buy it new from anyone of the big box stores. Used tools, you name it. Give me holler if you want a guided tour.
Bill, I hope you don’t think I am some kind of troll for always commenting on your channel. But you see I grew up in Pittsburgh and we never had much neither growing up, there was 6 of us and my brother is special needs. He is 52 going on 5 if you know what I mean because that is all the further his brain developed. But anyhow, we grew up with the same principals as you did, my dad worked in a junk yard pulling in cars and delivering parts. Dad would buy really nice cars from the junkyard that usually needed some bodywork and painting and after I moved to Md he would bring them to me, and I was just to clean them up to make them better. Dad would always take one of my vehicles back to Pittsburgh with him. So you could imagine the look on his face when I took his cars home to him with all of the bodywork done and I would do a complete over all paint job on it. That is what I seen when I seen your tractor. Enjoy the new and original look on it. You have a pair of awesome boys, Dave.
You not only bring great racing knowledge to the web but your family values and how much you Love your wife and boys an dogs really shows through more than ever...
Yeah, I'm 72yrs and pretty much came up the same way you did, we weren't rich by any means, but there were many things I learned. There's nothing that runs like a Deere, I remember when my Dad got his, of course it was after I had to use a push mower and my younger brother complained about having to do the lawn on the Deere. I'd bet Tommy got some motivation after having to watch instead of being out there making passes. Best of luck to y'all and hope to see you racing soon.😎👍☮️
I always remember something Ross Perot said once, while he was young man in the Navy and over in Monte Carlo he walked the piers and docks where all the rich folk kept their big yachts, he said all that these people have and yet not a one smiling. He always said if he became wealthy enough to have something like that he would smile and enjoy what he had and be grateful. I believe the secret to true happiness is to be grateful and content with what you have not what you don't. Those rich folks more than likely do not have kids that would buy their dad a hood for his JD lawn tractor. They would just buy a whole new tractor, and not even consider the memories and sacrifice that went into the one you already owned. Struggle brings strength and grounds a person in reality. To truly appreciate simple tings or acts is worth more than all the gold in Ft. Knox. That means there is love involved in there some where. Take Care and God Bless
Thanks for the video Bill. Look for them daily. Awesome what the kids did for you and what you said about making the best with what you have was moving and motivational.Thank you
Love the videos bill ,you guys are so down to earth and leave me feeling good inside, love the dogs ,I have 2 blue dogs on my farm in Australia, keep doing what you do best,cheers
Another amazing video that makes me cherish this channel. "The Old Man" is embedding qualities and memories that will last a lifetime. We could all be so lucky to have a racing family like yours.
Nice job Billy and Tommy...Your old man didn't know weather to shit or go blind...Priceless! You guys have a family bond that I'm sure most of us envy...I know I do. Watching your videos takes me away from all the negative shit that we all deal with on a day by day basis...Thank your lucky stars and keep it up!
You have two great kids brother. Your wife is awesome. You guys are so awesome to watch. I promise if we had more people like you guys then this world would be a great place.
I've followed Billy almost from the start.for the very reason you explained at the end of this video.I'm in my late 50's and both of my parents were born in the depression and had the same outlook make do with what you have.Anyway i never miss a video just keep doing what you have done from the beginning and you will be blessed Peace
I love your videos.. we been friend on fb for a long while just never said anything.. im 28 and hope me and my son have a bond like you 2 me and my dad are not as close as I would like and.. watching you gives alot of young men someone to look up to! Your a hero to many! The only dude I look forward to seeing everyday!
Hey kids, you done good, that’s awesome. My folks were the same, he always bought used cars and believe me he never ever threw anything away, they definitely taught me the value of hard work. He was born Feb 14, 1912 in Massillon Ohio.
Thank you for sharing. Most of the hardest working people think the same way. I m 38 and I v worked since I was 13. I came from nothing in a place that 99 percent of the people my age either died of drugs, went to jail, or a homeless. I was one of the lucky once that went to jail for about 2 months and it changed my life. Not immediately but I got the ball moving in the right direction. I moved out of the place where I grew up and moved a thousand miles away and started a new life. I am a over the road truck driver and I own my own business now. I have one kid and been with his mom for 13 years. I thought back in the day that I would have nothing but I changed my surroundings and worked hard with a little bit of help and now I'm teaching my son that you have to work hard to get where you want to be. I went from having nothing to owning a pickup truck, motorcycle, semi truck, and I am paying on a 2019 car for my wife. My pickup truck is older so is my semi and my bike but I love what I have and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Hearing your words and your wisdom, you sound like my grandfather. More people should take your advice and this world would be a lot better place. You have a wonderful night.
Brother..... I truly feel you.. I came from a similar situation.... now I got a home..... 3 paid for cars.. nothing spectacular... but run and drive... but listening to the "old man"..... It's just like listening to my old man and my grandpa.....old buddy. I really really love what you do..... how you show love and support to your family..... you are the best.. I live on the Kentucky Tennessee border..... one day.... If it's cool with you guys..... in gonna come up and see you guys..... I absolutely love all the channels and especially yours.. you are the best... and all of my love and respect to you brother... I love you man.... and the John deer is f$#kin awesome.....
I wish I had done what you have done.I'm in my 60's and still have decades old bullshit following me around. It's good to read about one that made it through the maze....
That was such a fun n hilarious video as well as a heart warming true love ending . Thank you all very merry Christmas for sharing your lives n advent with us . God Bless you all.
This was a hell of a episode always loved how you guys loved your life and me and my family can definitely relate we don’t race my grandfather does but I really enjoy watching everything from this channel!
Good evening Ol’man/SRC Family and everyone out there. Just have to say that I’m honestly constantly looking at my phone throughout the day checking notifications to see if you’ve posted anything new so I can take a look at it! I can only speak for myself, but I’m pretty sure that everyone will agree with me when I say that yourself and the entire family are beyond awesome, caring, gracious, loving, smart, talented, thankful, super wise and many, many other great things, but most definitely/importantly y’all are humble as heck and I have a ton of admiration, love and respect for you guys!!!! Anyhoo I loved the look on your face as well as your reaction when Tommy gave you your phone! It was priceless! I couldn’t stop laughing. You looked like you had to take a shit, sad, shocked and 3 different kinds of pissed off all at the same time!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Then came the talk with Billy. As I listened to you guys talk about safety and why you’re on him the way you are regarding maintenance, safety and the importance of it all, I saw that now he has a much better understanding of it since he was able to see it from a different perspective/point of view, yours and will do more to not only focus more behind the wheel and focus more on checking the truck prior to making a hit, but secure and protect himself better/more along with the truck as well! He does a great job as it is and in my opinion is a great driver that has up to this point made great and wise decisions behind the wheel!! I’m glad he was able to appreciate the truck and how well it does with those other cars/trucks by spectating; no matter how nerve wrecking/weird it was to see. Billy- “I’d rather be driving!” 😂🤣😂🤣 That’s awesome because it’s most definitely something I’d say for sure!! Bill I love your stories along with how genuine and real you are!! I admire and respect how you somehow manage to split yourself/time up evenly between 6+ well let’s be real God only knows how many things/people etc. let’s start with “June-pup and Chevy“which are like your kids also, your job, your actual kids, racing, us, Miss Vicky your wife and EVERYTHING/EVERYONE ELSE!! I don’t know how you manage to do it sir!?!? Something else I truly admire and respect about you is that no matter what you may be going through no matter what it is, you never complain and just keep on trucking! That’s friggin awesome man!!!! Well I’ve gone on forever and I don’t want you to feel some kinda way! Lastly, want to say I’m no Bible pusher by any means, However, I do believe in God/prayer and know what his blessings are like. People like yourself and your family that put family, all that’s important and all that matters first, help, look out for yourselves and all those around you, heck even total strangers if you feel or know they’re in some sort of need and are in a position to help you do! Continue doing what y’all are and you will continue to receive his blessings, generosity, love and mercy!! You value everything in life, always help one another out even those outside your immediate circle/family without hesitation or giving it a second thought and that’s why you’re in the growing position that you’re in now sir and it’s only going to get better I promise!!!! I know I pretty much just said the same thing twice, but felt I just had to. Goodnight/morning! Love you guys. God bless you all SRC Family!!!!!!!!
@@theoldmansgarage none of us are and just like yourself, I and everyone else on earth have and will continue to make mistakes because as you stated, “it’s part of it.” The biggest thing in my opinion is to learn from those mistakes and not make them again!!
I've said it before...some sponsor with money to spend needs to sign this kid. He's a hell of a driver and with the right set up and money to put into his truck/car he'd be competitive with anyone.
I don't have the ability to express how your videos move me. You have such amazing, down-to-earth content. I think, for what it's worth, you are a damn good man. And rolemodel for that matter. Love and prosper to you and your family.
You are a wholesome, humble example to all the family values that I was taught, raised and reared upon. I hope to one day shake your hand and share a few stories with you and the boys as our families are very, very similar. Stay blessed and continue giving as Jesus did ,for to love as he did is remarkable and true.
Bill, I'm checking out your archives. A common-sense approach to life is the key to lasting happiness. What your dad said to you is time tested and true. I've found that keeping up with the Jones will break you, make you miserable, and over time destroy what is you biggest treasure- The Family. I salute you and Vickie on your family. Although I travel this country daily, you can never tell when our paths may cross. Just know from one old man to a younger old man, you have earned much respect. Keep them close and they will keep you strong. Have fun out there. You said you don't have much, look in Vickie's eyes, when she looks at you. You'll see the wealth of a lifetime. God Bless you all and take care.
Because you and your wife are terrific parents!!! But I am 45 work my tail off and don’t have nothing like that!!! Growing up my Mum and dad did the same thing for my brother and I! They are the best!! A LOT LIKE YOU GUYS!! My dad thought me to work for what you want!! I hope some day I can meet you guys, and shake your hand sir!! God bless.
