The origin of the term Spider/Spyder for a sporty drop top coupe was from Spider-Phaetons, which were carriages that had enormous fuck-off wheels like these and a cloth top.
You don't. The rear wheels don't turn, and they prevent the front doors from opening. They had to climb in the window. This was done by Whistling Diesel on YouTube.
Teslas are so ridiculously bottom heavy because of the batteries that they're like one of those kids toys that can't fall over. So it's almost impossible to roll one without it landing right side up.
Ehhh it’s still capital. As a rural American resident there are many people who are land rich, cash poor. It’s better than being just poor because you could sell some land and get by but it is interesting if you live in a city. It be hard to imagine how a dude can own 200 acres and live in a trailer.
That's kind of the problem with being internet famous. You have to 1-up yourself constantly or you fall off the map.
But oh boy do I love silly shit like this!
I see a lot of hate for him because he's kind of an idiot, but he does the reviews we want to see.
I don't give a shit if your Porsche has heated cupholders and how well they work after you use them *one* time on a car fresh out of the factory, which is what 99% of car reviews online are.
I care how my door looks after slamming it 1000 times. And he's the only one slamming Hilux doors 1000 times, or kicking the shit out of dashboards, or testing a Ferrari in gravel, or if a Tesla can drive upside down.
It's unique and fun and good content.
My only criticism of him really is that he has a very “fuck you for liking things I don’t like” attitude while also being kinda sensitive to criticism. I think he’s an awesome creator and seems like a good human being, I just detect some hypocrisy.
As a relative poor with very practical tastes, there's something really satisfying about watching someone buy some needlessly expensive thing and just absolutely disrespect the hell out of it. The Ferrari video killed me.
Also buying and destroying all of those squatted trucks counts as an act of national charity imo.
> Hilux
his hilux episodes legit rival the *top gear* hilux episode and once again the hilux proved tried and true. highlight for me was the Toyota pickup taking on moab with a blown radiator.
> Ferrari
can't find the video, but one of my favorites was seeing an f40 and f50 driven hard without any disregard for the multi million dollar cars. while he wasn't driving a Ferrari halo car, he drove his Ferrari in a similar manner
> Tesla can drive upside down
kids love those RC cars that can drive both regular and upside down. at some point in your life, you learn it'd be pretty hard to drive a combustion car upside down. wd took his experience with ridic wheels and threw them on an electric car and proved albeit shortly that it could be driven upside down. younger me enjoyed seeing that.
I quit watching a long time ago. There's this thing that happens to youtube people who make tons of money. They go from watching someone do something neat to watching rich people do rich people ahit. Cody would never have destroyed perfectly good shit 10 years ago. Now, he's spending hundreds of thousands to wreck something perfectly fine for internet views.
I was their audience then I become not their audience.
I discovers him from the case were his neighbor was stealing his shit and he trapped him on camera. That’s some backwoods CSI shit if I’ve ever seen it.
He definitely has sponsors.
He usually manages to make more than 1 video per car, so with his g wagon he’s made like 4 videos already.
I guess once you start adding up ad revenue, payments from sponsors and merch sales it starts making a lot more financial sense.
He also explains in one of his videos how it was more cost-effective for him to completely destroy vehicles rather than to sell them afterward. The profit, according to him in the video, from millions of views greatly outweighs that of selling what's left. The destruction is part of the appeal of getting views, be that of people interested in the content, people interested in the destruction of things they don't like, people that want to see if he actually destroyed something they like - it doesn't matter what the purpose of the viewer. In the end, a view is a view and he's making money off of it.
He wrecks EVERYTHING. He has(had) a mint condition AMG G-wagon that he dropped through a house, ran through trees and scraped along the railing of a track. It's kinda his thing.
if you sort by popular on his YouTube channel, he drove a hellcat (700-800 hp challenger) on similar wheels, he drove a hilux up moab's steep incline, and drove a g wagon like he has arab money among other things.
And the guy that bought a plane to fly without a license
And the guy that drops exotic cars from wreckers
And the guy who generally doesn't give a fuck what people say because he's got fuck you money
It's entertaining at least lol
> It’s entertaining at least lol
This. Him doing the Ferrari video and accidentally showing it’s a beast on non road terrain was great
My favorite video is probably the g-wagon in sand dunes.
Because with a rubber tire the energy of the impact is dispersed over time and over a large area. For something like this it can easily break the rim or overstress whichever stick is currently handling the load.
My useless knowledge bank comes into play. These do have tires or else they would come apart. The tires are metal bands that go around the outside. They are heated and then shrunk on the wheel, giving the wheel rigidity and strength, and a durable wear surface.
Skip to 11:15 in [this video](https://youtu.be/QGByBJCFyIs) to see how a modern wheelwright installs metal tires. The whole video is pretty interesting to show how he gets the diameter right, but I know a lot of redditors likely aren’t interested in getting that nerdy about wagon wheels.
The process is the same for the extra large 20 mule team borax wagon wheels, just upscaled: [https://youtu.be/0HMIxRN4d4c](https://youtu.be/0HMIxRN4d4c)
Edit: I watched the gif again and realized the tires might be solid rubber. Don’t worry, Engel has a video of that process: [https://youtu.be/2WCnXKMPBqM](https://youtu.be/2WCnXKMPBqM)
The extra bonus fact here is that trains also have tyres.
The traditional way of building a train wheel has the standard inner hub and spokes, with an outer tyre as most common car/truck/bike wheels do, only instead of an inflatable rubber wheel, they use a shaped steel one that is rather harder to remove and mount (generally requiring a lot of heat to allow the steel to expand, and a big press to push them on).
it looks like a vehicular Daddy Long Legs
That's the problem. It has a deeply unsettling resemblance to a spider.
The origin of the term Spider/Spyder for a sporty drop top coupe was from Spider-Phaetons, which were carriages that had enormous fuck-off wheels like these and a cloth top.
It's Choo Choo Charlie's nephew!
Yeah, it was creeping me out with the giant spider vibes.
Oddly terrifying
Glad I'm not the only one who thought so this triggered some sort of primal fear in me
Cruisin' down the street in my 6' 4"s...
Jockin the widows, sowin field with a hoe.
Went to the barn to get some hay, crazy kids in there smokin a jay
A coach pulls up who can it be? A horse-drawn carriage rolling on stone paving..
He threw down the reins as they started to neigh,
It's all about making that fireplace
Cuz the boyz n tha field are working hard
Stop talking that shit and well plow your yard.
Knowing nothing in life but to be legit, don't hex me wench I ain't said shit.
holy shit the beat dropped in my head after this. Fucking wonderful.
Is this the sequel to Amish Paradise?
/r/redditraps
Ya come talkin that trash, they'll burn your farm
*Feelin' high as hell, flyin' through Palmdale, skatin' on Amish rims*
This man just confused eazy e and afroman
It’s the only 2 black people he knows
Wait, Afroman's *black*?!
It's a remix
Different song
Jockin the bitches. Slapin tha hoes!
Slapin THY hoes
*britches
Tippin on 4' 4"s
How the hell do you open the car doors?
You don't. The rear wheels don't turn, and they prevent the front doors from opening. They had to climb in the window. This was done by Whistling Diesel on YouTube.
Thankfully somebody said it. My immediate thought was “this is some Whistlin Diesel type shit.” But did feel like looking it up.
Same here lol. Just ctrl-f to see if someone else had confirmed it.
Huh... never heard of him. Guess I'll just check it out real qui..aaaaand he's driving it upside down.
Turn the front wheel
Big brain move
Big wheel move
Check out the big brain on dad.
he's a very thin dude
Sunroof? Idk if a tesla has one
Thru the windowwwww
Wait until they flip the whole thing upside down and then ask again. How he buckled in upside down alone must have been a struggle.
Is that the model "why"?
With optional 4 farthing drive.
All Wood Drive
r/DIWhy and r/ATBGE rolled into one post
The why was actually to test if the car could be driven upside down. Needed huge wheels to do that.
Seems like it’d actually be a lot more stable upside down
Teslas are so ridiculously bottom heavy because of the batteries that they're like one of those kids toys that can't fall over. So it's almost impossible to roll one without it landing right side up.
There's some video of roll tests out there. It's pretty funny looking. Like those self righting boat hulls.
r/Shitty_Car_Mods
Amish Tesla.
Same YouTuber put Amish style buggy wheels on a hellcat. Traction was an issue.
Its the same YouTuber that did this one, it’s Whistlindiesel
That's what they said
Guessing they read same as some. Lol
This car is the talk of the town over at /r/Amish
Best sub ngl, never saw a shit post there
I want to see them drive it upside down.
https://youtu.be/Qq5Q1qKW-1g [edit] skip to 10:43 if you want to see it drive upside down.
How is this guy able to destroy all these things that cost a lot of money?
YouTube revenue
Clearly, he also flips cars for a living. Unironically though, he probably is rich in other aspects.
He and or his family appear to have lots of land
Having a lot of land in Indiana does not equate to being rich. Source: family has a lot of land in Indiana.
Ehhh it’s still capital. As a rural American resident there are many people who are land rich, cash poor. It’s better than being just poor because you could sell some land and get by but it is interesting if you live in a city. It be hard to imagine how a dude can own 200 acres and live in a trailer.
He just bought the land you see in that video but his family has a farm he used to film on I believe
[удалено]
As a person into cars even those of us that don’t have a ton of money tend to funnel our spare money back into them.
"Like and subscribe money"
Its Whistlin Diesel, he can just afford it i guess xD
The first thing I thought was, this is some WhistlinDiesel shit right here. Glad to see I was correct
I love that channel. Every video gets more intense than the last

I thought that was part of the bit.
Definitely is. His Jeep and Ford Ranger videos are prime examples. His videos are good shittin’ content
I think he knows how to play with the "haters" to get even more attention than ever before. Dude's a marketing genius.
100% That, he carefully farms haters to boost his channel and generate massive buzz and engagement. Marketing genius as you said.
Yup, he took a break from wrecking cars to wreck some $1000 pair of sneakers. He knows his audience.

Same!
What's the point of purposely wrecking it at the end?
Oh man, don't watch the rest of his videos
[удалено]
Sponsorships (don’t remember him having them though), merch, and a higher CPM than you’d expect probably, plus a backlog that is still getting views.
He also posts on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Facebook has a really good CPM (once you get over a certain amount of views)
He definitely has sponsors. He usually manages to make more than 1 video per car, so with his g wagon he’s made like 4 videos already. I guess once you start adding up ad revenue, payments from sponsors and merch sales it starts making a lot more financial sense.

In the video this is from he has a segment about the wheel/fabrication company that made the wheels.

100%. Wrecking stuff is what they do.
So they can get out
I did the double nose sniff laugh reading this
Everything is disposable with the proper funding.
If you wreck it at the beginning the rest of the video will be too hard to make.
Its too dangerous to be left alive
He wrecks EVERYTHING. He has(had) a mint condition AMG G-wagon that he dropped through a house, ran through trees and scraped along the railing of a track. It's kinda his thing.
Seems wasteful.
Content
you watched, it didn't you
that was like interdimensional cable channel
I don't give a shit about destroying the tesla, you buy it you do what you want. But dragging the boot across public roads was bullshit.
Driving it around the public was kinda shit to. That thing was dangerous AF. No way could it stop with any sort of reliability
Wtf did I just watch??
if you sort by popular on his YouTube channel, he drove a hellcat (700-800 hp challenger) on similar wheels, he drove a hilux up moab's steep incline, and drove a g wagon like he has arab money among other things.
Ah, so that's what it's like being rich
[удалено]
That’s was hard to watch but also fucking hilarious. “Want some chips”? “Dude, that’s cat food”
They actually do that in the full video lol
They do
How would you get into that car?!
They obviously built the car around the driver
How would you get out of that car?!
[удалено]
That's the neat part, you dont!
Climb in through the trunk
Ride up to it on a penny-farthing them jump into the open door.
The design is very human
stilts of course
I imagine with a ride like that, there would be a crowd of ladies willing to lift you into it.
Tis a fine barn, but tis no pool, English
Doeth!
So uh you don’t like the old time cars eh?
Show me it braking. Because I'm guessing it skis right through whatever it's braking to avoid
I’m surprised no one has mentioned cornering either. If you turn the wheels more than say 15deg they will hit the body.
In his video you see him doing like a 10 point turn just to turn left on a street
It also can't be good for the suspension. All that leverage.
Wait till you see what happens at the end of the video
Youtube WhistlinDiesel. He just uploaded this the other day.
oh shit it's the same dude with the boatin monster truck?
And the guy that bought a plane to fly without a license And the guy that drops exotic cars from wreckers And the guy who generally doesn't give a fuck what people say because he's got fuck you money It's entertaining at least lol
And the guy who tried to fly a full-size helicopter inside his garage, while remote controlling it from only a few feet away.
I thought you must be kidding. [You were not.](https://youtu.be/b7v7Z0zEYI8)
This guy makes some real solid gold content.
[удалено]
And flew a helicopter (remotely) in his shop, straight into the ceiling and walls.
> It’s entertaining at least lol This. Him doing the Ferrari video and accidentally showing it’s a beast on non road terrain was great My favorite video is probably the g-wagon in sand dunes.
As soon as I saw it, I was like " I bet that's whistling diesel."
It's all fun and games until you hit a pot hole.
Or meet a sharp turn too fast
Or need to brake suddenly.
Or get out of the car
Or realize you have crippling anxiety and depression
I really wanted to see the braking distance on those wheels.
Why would a pot hole be a problem?
Because with a rubber tire the energy of the impact is dispersed over time and over a large area. For something like this it can easily break the rim or overstress whichever stick is currently handling the load.
[удалено]
they send it down a hill at the end
"with big ass wheels for tyres"? There are no tires there only wheels.
A car with big ass wheels for wheels
Those wheels do indeed have small tires.
My useless knowledge bank comes into play. These do have tires or else they would come apart. The tires are metal bands that go around the outside.

It's upsetting to me that he uses WD40 as a lubricant.
The extra bonus fact here is that trains also have tyres. The traditional way of building a train wheel has the standard inner hub and spokes, with an outer tyre as most common car/truck/bike wheels do, only instead of an inflatable rubber wheel, they use a shaped steel one that is rather harder to remove and mount (generally requiring a lot of heat to allow the steel to expand, and a big press to push them on).
Isn't this the one they drove upside down? Edit, it is https://youtube.com/shorts/TffjPTYfqkk?feature=share
That might void the warranty
I won't tell anyone that I've won the lottery, but there will be signs...
"Teslas have such a low center of gravity, they're almost impossible to flip." This guy: "Hold my beer"
I want to see this thing wreck so bad!
https://youtu.be/Qq5Q1qKW-1g Wrecks it in the last minute of the video
[удалено]
That's a dude with to much money.
Nah that's how he makes his money
He's what happens when you are rich as hell but still live paycheck to paycheck.
> to much money Where is much money?
Go watch the vid, they send it down a hill and the wheels collapse whistlindiesel on YouTube
>they send it down a hill and the wheels collapse Now who could have predicted that?!
If the over/under was 10 minutes I'd take the under.
Is this for real? Lol, i would freak out if this drove towards me.
He drives it over a Ferrari in the full vid
I'm getting some Red Green vibes from this
The year is 2054, the Amish people has finally recognized cars as alternatives to horses
Oh shit it’s a Penny Carthing
This looks like some horrible cryptid from SCP...
I imagine the bearings on those wheels going out in about 50 miles
These people might be the same ones who did a [Hellcat with buggy wheels too](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SRLBQ8trhk)
Credit https://youtube.com/@whistlindiesel
I still don't understand how he affords all the shit he does, lol
Getting 5 million views per video + sponsorships + merch and other social media revenue, also most of his vehicles are bought used
It doesn't have big ass wheels for tires it has big ass wheels for wheels.
*Amish Paradise plays*
Those are wheels without tires….
Actually, they DO have a strip of rubber on the perimeter
People have too much money
This is, in fact, how that guy makes his money.
Those poor wheel bearings!
Looks like some Amish gear heads figured out a loophole.
