Quoted: Love him or hate him, this is one of the most amazing commercials for a car product ever created by accident. Dang, I thought I could embed the video with a specified start time. Guess not. Start watching at 13:17. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d2moH6jWh8 View Quote I'm not a fan but did you watch what he did with that G wagon? The way it climed the mountain on those low profile tires was incredible. |

Quoted: I'm not a fan but did you watch what he did with that G wagon? The way it climed the mountain on those low profile tires was incredible. View Quote What he put that Hilux through in the first 3 videos and it just kept going without missing a beat was nothing short of impressive. |

View Quote Just saw it on the youtube feed and had to watch it. So he is going to rebuild killdozer. I am really surprised that it has taken someone this long to do it. I would have figured someone else would have already done it by now. I'm guessing from what I read, that the exact model bulldozer is kinda rare these days. That might be why it has not been done. So has anyone here actually listened to all of his taps/rants? (Marvin, not WD) |

That was actually a pretty good video. He casually interviews a number of people in the town and gets some personal stories and opinions. All done without acting like a jackass.
Seems like a nice friendly town. |

No one is at the concrete plant- "Let's come back on June 4th"

View Quote "It was Heemeyer who instigated the entire event because he failed to sell his property off at inflated prices to his neighbors, prompting his anger," Brower said." That's not exactly painting a good picture. Why was he forced to sell his property off to his neighbors? |

I think that was one of his best videos he has ever made. He dropped his normal video persona and delivered an excellent 20 min clip.

View Quote The city forced him to get connected to the sewer, The owners of the cement company next to him were big in the local government, would not let him get easement through their property for this, requiring him to pay a shit ton to have ran a long ways instead. Or atleast thats what i recall from watching Tread a few years ago. |

After watching the new video, is he maybe building Killdozer 2.0 to teach that town a lesson that was pushing the reckless driving charges with a jet ski?
At the end of the video: only you can form your own opinion on Marvin and the town of Granby. But there’s a reason so many people Idolize Marvin, and that’s why I’m doing this. |

I'm not always entertained by his antics but more often than not I am. I'm very interested in this episode

I like WD and I hope that this project turns out well for him. Maybe just keep it out of Granby after it's finished.

The guy seems like a spoiled rich kid (because he is).....but he does come up with some pretty interesting and unique ideas.

You know what would be really radical? He should go fix a farmer's busted John Deere

One of the things he constantly mentioned was the money he was spending to fight it all and that reg people would get screwed.

I'd love to see the venn diagram of:
"Boomers Who Watched Top Gear" "Boomers Who Hate Whistlin Diesel" I'd imagine it's a just one circle with "hypocrisy" or "quit liking what I don't like" written inside. |

This will be an interesting thread, and youtube series. In for the popcorn.

Quoted: I have a hard time believing that guy. The whole "article" is emotionally written and the guy just keeps saying "fake new" 11 times. He never really provides any factual argument. I dont idolize Heeymeyer but Brower seems to downplay the good old boy shit that was obviously going on with regards to all this. I am actually interested to read the book to both see what is in it and see the perspective it is written from. Brower seems openly biased. After watching the video, WD did an awesome job. |

The Docheffs and the other established business owners who also either sat on the town council or had a lot of influence with members of the council are what caused the issue. Marv wasn't a saint either, but they were absolutely trying to screw him over once Marv exposed the good old buy stuff with the very public fight over the land and concrete plant. The Docheffs put the final nail in by not allowing Marv to run a sewer line (city council decided it was required surprise surprise) across their concrete plant that Marv fought being there for so long, and essentially forced him to either sell his business and building at a big loss to Docheff or run a sewer line so long that he couldn't afford it. They thought they had finally won and had forced Marv out of town for good. |

Anyone have a short summary of the jet ski thing?
Also, didnt WD have issues with eye surgery or something? Could that have inspired the killdozer? |

Quoted: Anyone have a short summary of the jet ski thing? Also, didnt WD have issues with eye surgery or something? Could that have inspired the killdozer? View Quote @TaylorSwiftsCat IIRC Off duty cop said WD and his buddy got too close to each other on jet skis , . Got pissed and called his game warden buddy to come ticket him The law was something like 100ft apart , and cop testified he could estimate they were like 75ft apart while watching from something like 1/2 mile away . Prosecuter saw and opportunity to make his bones did a bunch of lawfare shenanigans to run up the bill and inconvenience by making him appear in court multipletimes 100s of miles from home , then offered a deal where WD would make some PSAs . WD said cop was full of shit and fought it to the time of like $18k in expenses |

Quoted: He's a guy with money that takes rare or collectable vehicles and destroys them for clicks. Like a Toyota HiLux or Nissan Skyline and just treats them like it's Dukes of Hazzard. He's the equivalent of someone buying a Singer 1911 or a some transferable M16 Vietnam bring-back, then throwing it down a cliff, then dragging it behind a car on the road, and at the end, stuffing the barrel to purposely make it go kaboom. Hilarious, right? Firearm people would say "Dude, if you're going destroy a rare M16 or 1911, why not instead just destroy a $300 PSA or a $350 Tisa instead? Something that's readily available and not collectable?" Just the same as car people thinking "Dude, if you're going destroy a collectable Hi Lux or Skyline, why not just instead destroy a newer Toyota pick-up or Nissan 350Z? Something that's readily available and not collectable?" But he won't get the same amount of views if he's not purposely trolling by destroying items that people enjoy. It's what 12 years old think is the pinnacle of comedy. The teenage "ArEn'T YoU TriGGeRed?" comedy. And if you disagree with him trashing collectable stuff, you're a hater, poor, hate freedom, living rent free, you're triggered, or some other 12 year old insult. View Quote |

They've been writing for car magazines, owning enthusiasts cars, and doing the show longer than Whistlin Dixie has been alive. Yes, they've destroyed a few cars but it was often decades ago when specific models were not in such high demand. People forget that you could buy a mid-70s Porsche 911 for $8500 just 25 years ago. Where as Whistlin Dixie's ENTIRE shtick is destroying cars or trolling for views. It's apples and oranges comparing the two. Can't wait for him to start buying rare firearms and purposely make them go kaboom for the lolz... |
