It’s Tuesday. Who replaces the wheels and tires on a Corvette with saw blades and then rips it across a frozen lake? Or turns that same Corvette into a ski-and-snow-track monster just to see if it works? That’s the kind of chaos Westen Champlin thrives on. The American automotive YouTuber, born in Winfield, Kansas and raised on a farm, has built a massive following with high-energy videos packed with wild builds, rescues, and mechanical experiments that feel equal parts brilliant and unhinged. Since 2019, his channel has grown to more than five million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views, fueled by everything from reviving cheap auction vehicles to crafting outrageous custom machines and staging tire-shredding burnout events. Visionary or completely nuts? Watch the two featured videos and decide for yourself!
