Are you guys slacking or just figuring the idiot has gotten enough attention? (hopefully this isn't a repost.... )
Must be nice to be able to drop almost 100K on a truck just to destroy it. The truck actually held up better than expected. Kinda surprised the airbags didn't go off........
He's following in the footsteps of another youtuber that destroys trucks for views. ($$$$) In his last video, he hacks the body to fit 40" tires without a lift kit.
Yeah, he may be making bank off of this, but it's still stupid.
And I think he got his bell rung more than he realizes on that landing.

The guy has 1.1 million subscribers, and 305 MILLION views! That creates some serious revenue. If he wrecked a $400 beater, he wouldn't get a million views. I'm not worried about the truck. It a late model, easily replaceable. The cost of the damage is the price of doing business. This is like a movie where they wreck valuable stuff and get paid. Like him or hate him, the guy is making money doing it his way, without working for a boss.

Well the question is, is he doing it for the $$, or the "fame" & attention he's getting from the stunt, or is he just a wealthy idiot? Or all of the above? Maybe he's just THAT cool!

Nowadays when a video comes about of something funny cute stupid and even criminal you will find someone involved with their own youtube channel. This guy probably has one and if its a successful channel he can afford to sacrifice a truck to make a profit.

He jumped one of those too. The TRX went a LOT further (and higher).

You guys sound like grumpy old men. So what if the guy bought the baddest new truck on the market and jumped it. Everyone wants to. If he makes money off of it, especially enough to live on, he's doing better than 99% of the rest of you who have to do regular guy things for a living. One of my dreams has been to buy a pair of Corvettes new and throw the keys to one of my friends, and drive them straight off the lot and into a corn field. Most of you should go have an extra fiber drink.

Bingo winner, winner and I'm a grumpy old man. Thought the video and jump was fun. Not my money so I don't care what he does. He could have burnt it to the ground and it wouldn't matter.

If I had the money Id buy the rarest 427 Corvette and put a Toyota Tundra V8 in it and go to all the Chevy shows. Id also buy the rarest most valuable Harley Davidson and put a Honda SOHC CB750 engine in it and go to all the Hemorrhoid Heritage Beer Belly Geezer Glide meet ups. With my bandanna on my head of course.

I emailed the video of the other youtuber driving around the Hellcat with the buggy wheels on it to some of my car buddies, and one of them got all offended and said he'd like to smack the kid across the face. I thought it was funny and harmless fun, but I used to enjoy the heck out of watching the Jackass TV show and movies too, so maybe it's a matter of what kind of sense of humor you have. I've always enjoyed immature pranks and stunts slapstick humor and the like, and never seem to outgrow them, but that's just me! These YouTubers who have tons of subscribers and viewers make a bunch of money so if wrecking an expensive new vehicle to produce one of their videos is what it takes, I don't see how it's much different than a nice car getting wrecked in an action adventure movie? If a new Fast and Furious movie came out and a TRX got trashed in the movie would everyone be upset? I just hope the kid knew what he was doing as that stunt could have gone wrong big time, if the truck had flipped when landing, or hit hard enough to compression fracture his back.

He put wheels in the bed for ballast. One of them came forward and blew out the back window.
I think he may have gotten a little cocky with the TRX since he had the Raptor flight under his belt. No helmet or anything unlike when he jumped the Raptor. He HAD to have been sore the next day as the landing snapped the hat mounted gopro off his head.
These guys get addicted to the payout. While it may piss us off they wrecked something new and expensive to make a buck, how many Hellcats have been destroyed on public roads from drunk drivers or people that simply didn't have the skill set to drive one?
I saw somewhere that WD actually wrecked the Challenger just driving it, before he had a chance to destroy it. (got a call his Dad was in the hospital or something, took off blazing, slid off a curve?)

I didn’t hear anything about Whistlindiesel wrecking the Hellcat, but I did see that he hurt himself with another stunt where a 50 caliber bullet ricocheted and hit him in the head. I heard someone say that YouTube deplatformed him after that but I haven’t seen any confirmation of this, but if true it sucks to be him as he was getting $20K plus per month from his channel!

I see that someone paid $62,000 for the wrecked remains of the TRX.
I don't know, but all the cars I have seen sent to Copart were insurance related. If he declared it on his insurance I would think that is a felony or at least in violation of the terms on their policy.
Is there another way to get something sold on Copart or am I missing something?

Insurance covers stupidity, I don't think that's a felony but I don't know.

I saw absolutely no monetary damages done to the creek or terrain, but the fine seems reasonable for someone whose IQ begins with a decimal point. What a financially blessed MAROON...
Can you really make that kind of money on youtube being an idiot?
Jul 30, 2004 · Might have been derived from moron: adding an extra letter "o" to moron meaning double-moron, thus a maroon. Usually preceded by the words "what a"... He thought he was eating chocolate ice cream but it was vanilla with chocolate syrup--what a maroon!

You thought that was bad?? Never look up a guy named "whistin diesel" on youtube lol
He even had a general lee clone but somehow it managed to escape his destruction
I guess youtube pays REAL well. Somebody stole his dad's skid steer (I have no idea what they're worth) and he's offering a $300,000 reward. Check this video where he runs down a neighbor who's a petty thief that stole ~ $1,400 worth of ~ 20 items from him. Good job tracking down the thief.
