Whistlin' Diesel Destroys Vehicles
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about a YouTuber who creates entertaining content by building and destroying vehicles.
"There's this guy I've been following called Whistlin' Diesel. He has all this acreage out in Indiana and he builds cool trucks and cars and just wrecks them. For example, he'll take something like a Power Wheel - those little toy trucks for kids - and build a version that has a massive gas engine in it that goes 120 miles an hour but looks like a Power Wheel.
He does things you think you would want to do in the country - breaking things, blowing stuff up. What's crazy is these guys start making money from it, and then they're like 'alright now we have more money to spend on bigger stuff to blow up and build.'
There are all these guys on YouTube who will get like a 50 caliber rifle and they're like 'You think it can shoot through that car? Let's try it!' or 'What would happen if we shot this at a huge block of metal? How deep will it go?' It's all these stupid experiments that you would only dream of doing but would be afraid of losing all this money. They do it, and I get to live through them."
