WhistlinDiesel (real name: Cody Detwiler) is an American YouTuber who rose to fame for pushing pickup trucks to the limit. He writes on his YouTube page that he doesn’t clickbait his content, that it delivers exactly what he puts in the title. A video from a week ago has the following title, Bought a new $54K Hellcat just to wreck it.
In the video, WhistlinDiesel explains that he now wants to take better care of his property and therefore will not destroy the Hellcat. It’s pretty disappointing that he went back on his clickbait promise, but that’s what makes his content so entertaining: you just don’t know what to expect.
This article will look at the recent shooting accident involving WhistlinDiesel, his wife, and his feud with TheStradman.
WhistlinDiesel survived by accidentally shooting himself with a .50 caliber bullet
On January 22, 2021, WhistlinDiesel posted a photo of his bloody face on Instagram, announcing that he had survived by shooting himself in the head with a .50 caliber bullet. “I’m not sure how I’m alive right now,” he wrote. A .50 caliber bullet is a big projectile, and one to the head would almost guarantee death, but by some miracle, WhistlinDiesel survived.
He was probably lucky that the bullet ricocheted off steel plates 4 feet away from him before hitting him. The steel plates took most of the bullet’s momentum away. However, WhistlinDiesel nearly passes out after the shell hits him. He wrote in a follow-up post:
“You see life a little differently when you pull the trigger on your .50 caliber and your head shakes and blood starts dripping from your eyes. I raised my hand and felt the metal stick out and I almost passed out. I had a CT scan to be sure.”
You’d think WhistlinDiesel’s recent brush with death would make him give up his guns, at least for a while. However, you would be wrong. “They say my skull isn’t cracked, so…let’s go back to target practice,” he added.
WhistlinDiesel’s wife is a car enthusiast and also has a successful YouTube channel.
WhistlinDiesel’s wife refers to herself on Instagram as Mrs. Whistlin. Her page reveals that she has a crush on three things: WhistlinDiesel, his 1997 Ford F-250, and her dog. In early December 2020, she posted a photo of WhistlinDiesel and her dog along with the caption “I love you.”
Ms. Whistlin isn’t as successful as her husband on social media, but she’s doing pretty well on that front. She runs an automotive YouTube channel with 78,400 subscribers and 274,000 Instagram followers.
WhistlinDiesel’s feud with TheStradman reached its tipping point when WhistlinDiesel fans threatened TheStradman’s dog.
WhistlinDiesel’s feud with TheStradman began after WhistlinDiesel ridiculed TheStradman’s affinity for wrapping their vehicles in purple. Fans of the couple took up the feud and started attacking each other on the internet. Fans of TheStradman struggled to understand why WhistlinDiesel insulted TheStradman out of the blue, while WhistlinDiesel fans opined that TheStradman overreacted to a friendly joke.
WhistlinDiesel posted on Instagram that he had nothing personal against TheStradman. She pointed to the ‘fake meat’ she had had with StreetSpeed as evidence that her posts were nothing more than hoaxes. A month later, TheStradman criticized WhistlinDiesel for encouraging his followers to cyberbully him. On October 13, WhistlinDiesel reiterated:
“Stradman, how many times do I have to tell you that no one is after you personally and that you seem like a great person?”
The dispute came to a head when TheStradman revealed that one of WhistlinDiesel’s fans told him that he expected WhistlinDiesel to run over TheStradman’s dog with his truck. TheStradman even took his Instagram page private to block toxic comments. The revelation left a bad taste in the automotive community. As Life of Palos said, the automotive world is generally a place of peace rather than a place of hate. He said:
“Us [the automotive community] it may be so much better than what those particular fans represent right now. We are not the screaming makeup artist community, we are the automotive and supercar community!”
