With videos of him destroying expensive trucks, many people wonder where he gets the funds to buy such vehicles worth more than $110,000, purely for the sake of destroying them in his YouTube videos.

His Wife

Cody’s wife is widely known by the name Mrs. Whistlin on her social media accounts. The beautiful lady has not disclosed her real name which still remains a mystery. Cody’s Detwiler wife sometimes appears on his Youtube videos and seems to have the same enthusiasm for cars and trucks just like the husband.

The wife has her own YouTube channel too where she also posts automobile-related videos. She loves her Ford-F-250 and has made a lot of videos about it on her channel.

Currently, Mrs. Whistlin has more than 100k subscribers on her YouTube channel and 332k followers on her instagram. Cody Detwiler is said to have married her at the young age of 18.

Cody Detwiler’s Viral Moment

WhistlinDiesel as his channel states started posting videos regularly after he graduated high school. One video which went viral and got him a lot of attention was the ‘Fourwheeler on REAPER wheels literally tills dirt’.

In this video, Cody is seen attempting dangerous operations as he attaches sharp and dangerous REAPER wheels on a normal four-wheeler to convert it into a super tiller. Many people applauded his creativity.

Another video of his that went viral was the ‘Monstermax drives in the ocean (Police, Coast Guard, EPA, and DNR called)

Cody Detwiler also went viral when he had a near-death experience with a bullet. He was testing a long-arm rifle to see whether its bullets would pass through the steel plates on the ground. One of the shots landed on the plates at the wrong angle which caused the bullet to deflect and graze his forehead just missing the centre of his head. It was a .50 caliber bullet that was launched from a distance of 4 feet. Fortunately, the CT scans revealed no damage to his skull.

The Youtuber also went viral when he was caught in a horrifying life-threatening experience when, in just minutes, his brand new luxury car and rental van caught fire — destroying both vehicles. “I regret to inform everyone that my $400,000 Ferrari F8 and rental minivan with only 5,000 miles on it [have] recently burned down to a pile of ash,” Detwiler, 25, noted in the caption in the video.

The video begins by showing the famous Youtuber, in Waco, Texas, showing off his new car — burning rubber and speeding through an empty cornfield surrounded by dry grass. Suddenly, his right tire is seen catching on fire. Detwiler’s friends in the van scream at him, while in the driver’s seat, that his car is on fire and he comes to a halt.

In a matter of all but 5 minutes, the brand-new luxury car and rental van had burned to a crisp, leaving nothing but a few auto parts behind. “I don’t care about the cars, it’s fine.” Cody Detwiler said. “Just keep it from spreading onto the field.”
