I mean..Whistlin diesel did destroy an older toyota hilux

Im sure someone, somewhere who doesnt make all that much money would spend the better part of a year or two scraping and saving and would hope to come across a deal on fb market place or craigslist and this dude just trashed it!

I didnt lose sleep over the new ferrari he busted up though

I have enjoyed some of his content in the past. This one made me cringe. It looked like a lot of fun in the higher speed dirt road type driving. Taking it through the mud is missing the assignment for this build.

True, I just don't like to see things wasted? Those Hilux are good trucks!

Yes, Hilux are good trucks. As far as waste goes, I hate it too. But anything that is entertainment in the current era is inherently wasteful at every level.

None of it is necessary for individuals or society to function, none of it.

Even the existence of this board and the hardware used access it could be considered a waste of energy and resources.

Check out Smeedia on Youtube. Real car guy who does his own work. Currently he is building an FD RX7 from the ground up. He also has a 996 Turbo he fixed up and will be modding soon. Matt Ross also rebuilt 996 and 997 turbos, pretty good content and editing from him. Vtuned is a good body man and has had some cool builds. I like Tavarish for the difficult projects he has taken on. Those are the project car guys I've been keeping up with. Some of those other guys like Hoovie and Whistlindiesel have had some good content from time to time but I don't stay subscribed.

I prefer to watch YouTube to see people build things. Any idiot can destroy stuff. I watched wd destroyed the G-wagon. That wasn't testing.
Top Gear already destroyed a Toyota truck. No need to repeat.
How many Dodge chargers were destroyed for Dukes of Hazard? Now who can get one?

What do you mean? I think I watched all of those episodes, and the Dukes never ruined a car?!

@2fcknfst Man, at 34k USD, that would be the perfect Edmonton winter car...that's what, 50k CAD?

Nah, he's definitely not that bright. Just watch him on any of the auction shows and he seems to know very little about cars. His mechanic maintains them, he's just a goofball with a personality that gets views.
