WhistlinDiesel wants to make a point with his killdozer
Cody Detwiler, aka WhistlinDiesel, is well known for his large-scale experiments.
From installing 17 turbos on one truck to purchasing a Formula 1 car to create the world’s first diesel F1 vehicle, he is no stranger to pushing the envelope.
But that all pales in comparison to what he did with a Ferrari.
In fact, it was his experiment with a Ferrari that led to him being arrested on his property in Tennessee.
After being given a date to attend court over the matter, Detwiler took to social media to reveal a pretty daring plan to his followers.
“I have a killdozer, so why not keep the miles off my other Ferrari and take the killdozer to court,” he said in a post on Instagram.
“I’m hauling my killdozer there,” he said as he asked for suggestions on how to make his idea become a reality.
With a name like ‘Killdozer’ you would expect this intimidating vehicle to be pretty scary and boy, does it deliver.
It’s a massive machine made from 1,000 lbs of steel with a bulletproof metal framing.
“This is going to be the funniest thing ever,” one fan said.
“Bro was destroying a Bugatti at 10 mil. I guess he’ll be destroying the court with a Killdozer instead,” [sic] added a second.
Detwiler later shared an update on his court appearance, explaining that it was actually waived.
We can’t help but think that’s probably for the best, for everyone involved.
Why was WhistlinDiesel arrested over a Ferrari?
Now, we all know that the creator is no stranger to dancing with danger, and after one particular experiment, things appeared to go wrong on a larger scale than usual.
In fact, after the creator set fire to a Ferrari, things seemed to go from bad to worse.
After initially buying the Ferrari F8 Tributo in 2023, he decided to set fire to it in a field, which isn’t an illegal action in itself.
However, the YouTuber, who lives in Tennessee, reportedly registered his Ferrari in Montana, which is where the arrest comes in.
Police allege he did this to save thousands in tax.
After revealing he was arrested for tax evasion, he denied any wrongdoing and insisted he paid all taxes owing.
As for now, though, it’s all eyes on the creator as the situation unfolds.
