I am kind of hot and cold on whistlin diesel. On one hand he destroys some nice vehicles but on the other he said he does it because they are just things and that's not what should matter to people. So I can respect that.

 

Right, doesn't matter to me.... as long as it's not my things. That's one guy I wouldn't let borrow...just about anything.

I've watched his vids here and there though, fun to watch for sure lol.

 

Just watched his "bowling" video.... what a numb nuts, LOL

 

Haven't seen that one yet lol. I do recall the one when he filled the bed of a nice looking super duty with fresh concrete, then 4 wheeled the hell out it. I think it was blue truck, the vid was popular some time ago, probably still is lol.

Just remembered another with him cruising down a shipping lane or channel somewhere with monster truck. The truck wasn't that fast on water, but it didn't sink. Those big tires kept him afloat. He was going under bridges, I think he almost hit one once lol. The police was giving him a hard time at first about proper registration as marine vessel or something like that. So he had to register it first before cruising the lake. Stuck reg numbers to the side of the truck and in the water he went lol. That all happened right before launch, quite a few cops stuck around to watch lol. That one cracked me up.

I think he's the same guy that purchased a General Lee replica as well, maybe not. Oh yea, pretty sure he's the one who built huge wooden wagon wheels and mounted them a super duty. Going for guinness world record, attempting to beat out Big Foot. I think had to dig some deep trenches on both sides of the truck to get them mounted. He couldn't get the truck out of the hole without ripping the wheels apart lol. It was a fail in the end, but he almost got it lol.

I must of watched quite a few of his vids in the past.....they've been flying out of my head as I write. I think it stopped for now lol.

A goofball for sure, has style though. I like that he puts a lot profit back into his vids....quality. Good guy as I see it, donated some nice stuff to kids in the past and on the spot....4wheelers and such. Has a good gig going for him there and having fun doing it.

 

Good morning thinkers!!- Hope you all have a good weekend planned!-
I think i might pull a oil change this weekend before the weather gets too bad.
Be safe at your salt mine, lets finish the week well and good!- ttyl!

 

Yeah, Brew... his show reminds me a bit of my younger years. We bought a couple cars just to beat the **** out of them. We had an 83 Crown Vic, and an 87 Continental that literally took a beating. These are really when I started filming things. I have a few of the videos converted to mp4 format... but somewhere are come MiniDV tapes loaded with us running into inanimate objects, driving through a golf course or two (never on the green), and running into each other or abandoned vehicles.

 

So... the Wife just sent me a message. Trees are getting cut down (professionally) next door. YES!

 

They told my Wife they are cutting down all of the dead trees BUT the one that is falling all over my house and roof. Guess I need to talk to this dude.

 

LOL, - Yea, that kind of stuff is normal at a certain age. My daughters even went through that phase, maybe 10 years ago. They were part of a little gang who got a hold of an old RV and were thrashing, jumping at a friends place until it didn't run anymore. My oldest hooked it up to her truck with a long rope and began towing it over jumps. They were all taking turns riding in the RV. They got that on vid, it was hilarious. They burned it in the end. That thing went up in a ball of flames pretty quick lol

We had some old Super 8 converted about 20 years ago. Had a motocross race, horse show and b-day party on it. It was pretty cool to watch. I can't remember if it was converted to CD/DVD, it's not ringing a bell, it was something computer friendly, some other format but can't remember which.. Anyway, that's stuffed in a box of photos somewhere I expect.

 

How did you swing that one?
