If these two content creators are known for one thing, it’s kicking things up a notch.

It’s no wonder that the cops soon got involved.

What happened when IShowSpeed and Westen Champlin hung out together

IShowSpeed and Westen Champlin have generated millions and millions of views in their separate times on the internet.

IShowSpeed has gotten up to all sorts of antics, whether it’s outrunning MrBeast in an electric mini car or screaming his way through a flying car demo.

As for Champlin, he’s always doing some outlandish with car, like the time he created a ‘backwards truck’.

And then there was the time he turbocharged a school bus off Facebook Marketplace.

It should come as no surprise then that chaos reigned when these two got together for a collab.

They met up at a compound in Kansas, where Champlin had some ‘redneck activities’ planned for his visiting friend.

We’re talking the works – tanks, burnouts, and stunts.

Some of the first vehicles Speed got to try out, included a rally Pontiac and aforementioned backwards truck, which had an engine in the back and nothing in the front.

Speed also got to try out a Hellcat-swapped Magnum ‘Dad van’, and a ‘Smokestang’.

So a lot of burnouts and smoke.

And this was all before the tank came into the picture.

Why the cops ended up being called

When Champlin brought out his homemade tank, he decided to run over some parked cars as a demonstration.

You might recall that he’s got a soft spot for tanks.

Then it was Speed’s turn, and he accidentally sent the tank up into the air as it piled over the cars.

That’s right – this tank flew momentarily.

“You f**king flew a tank, dude!” Champlin exclaimed, once they were out of the vehicle.

And that wasn’t even the end of the night’s activities.

Heck, that wasn’t even what got the cops’ attention.

After doing some more car jumping, Champlin had Speed trigger a massive fireworks display using numbered switches in a fuse box.

This prompted the police to get in touch with Champlin, as they’d received some complaints about the fireworks.

Fortunately, Champlin is on good terms with his local police department, and the issue was dropped once he assured them that there would be no more fireworks.
