Rolling Coal. How is this not illegal?

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Somehow, this is a sort of "protest" against Obama's over-reaching environmental legislation...

Are people in your country really this fucking retarded?

I seem to get one of these ass holes trying to dust me once a month or so when I am out running, or going for a ride. The louder, or taller the truck, the shorter the cock.

just how exactly do you collect this data, irie dave?

[Dinsdale]

Don't know about elsewhere, but here in Oregon, that's way illegal.

But you wouldn't make it to prosecution, since some gun-toting tree-hugger would off you first (we're enigmatic like that).

[Rooster]

Meh. It's no worse than aging hippies "rolling green" in their old VW busses, dripping oil and belching gray or white smoke out of their exhaust-- depending on what particular part is busted on those pieces of junk. As much as they say they are pro-environment, driving around in a gas guzzling polluter spells hypocrisy to me.

[R-Jack]

If people want to outwardly advertise that they are an asshole as opposed to me having to find out by socializing with them, I can appreciate that.

[Left Seater]

Rolling coal. How is this not illegal?

Simple. Coal miners unions helped elect the idiot in charge. Got to keep the coal legal.

Now natural gas, that is the true environmental enemy.

No you don't.

I dunno, I could see it. He's probably got one of those "It's a Jeep Thing, You Wouldn't Understand" slapped on his ride.

Anti-environmentalists have found a new medium for exhausting their anger: exhaust. Literally.

Some truck enthusiasts are intentionally producing copious amounts of diesel exhaust, spewing black smoke into the air as a form of political protest. It's called "rolling coal." Vocativ covered the subculture in an article last month, reporting "coal rollers" can spend thousands of dollars altering their rides to produce ever greater amounts of smoke.

Modifications include a variety of components that increase the amount of fuel entering the truck's engine. When there's so much fuel that it fails to combust properly, "it leaves the engine as soot," according to an article on DieselHub.com, a website dedicated to diesel truck owners.

That soot, which coal rollers call "Prius repellent" in online videos and forums and on decals on their trucks, can then be channeled up through "smoke stacks," where it exits onto bystanders (or a Prius following too closely) in a thick, pollutant-heavy black cloud.

"I run into a lot of people that really don’t like Obama at all," an unnamed Wisconsin seller of smoke stack kits told Slate's David Weigel, explaining some of the rationale behind the movement. "If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that. To get a single stack on my truck - that’s my way of giving them the finger. You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you."

In addition to the negative environmental impacts of increased emissions, the American Cancer Society has linked exposure to diesel exhaust to a variety of negative health effects, including lung cancer.

Brilliant.

[Moving Sale]

Yes. A significant percentage of our population actually votes against their own self interest, so polluting the very air they breathe as a protest is no surprise.

It's mind blowing how stupid the right wing tards (both on this board and in RL) are.

Yet another reason I don't have an issue. Darwinism

[Moving Sale]

You have no idea who Darwin was do you kiddie diddler?

[Dinsdale]

What's really stupid is that I could build a system to belch wayyyyyyy more smoke than that (gas or diesel engine), without harming the engine or its performance for under $20.

Ain't that difficult.

[Dinsdale]

As opposed to left wing tards, who vote against every other person in the country's better interest?

That post is so stupid it's almost meaningless. How can one person vote against everybody else's interest? Be the only person that votes for a candidate or prop?

[Dinsdale]

That post is so stupid it's almost meaningless.

Damn, where's a KC poster when you need one?

You claim "right wing tards" vote against their own self interest.

Yes, the Koch brothers vote in ways that are opposed to their business interests, right?

Or do they not count as "right wing"?

You are about the stupidest motherfucker on the entire internet.

[Moving Sale]

You claim "right wing tards" vote against their own self interest.

The topic at hand was if a significant portion of right wing tards vote against their self interest you stupid moron. Learn to read asshat.

I would blow something on her. Not diesel smoke, though...

Poutine?

[Moving Sale]

Umami burger (20 or so LA locations plus a few in the city, Vegas and NY) makes a great Poutine burger. Mmmmm

[Derron]

Don't know about elsewhere, but here in Oregon, that's way illegal.

So is cell phone use in a vehicle, smoking dope, and the tweakers stealing every last fucking thing not welded down.

This thing started as the diesel truck guys hate the hybrids, especially that fag ass Toyota Prius. They pull up next to them and do whatever it is they do to get the smoke going. Just fog them out. One of my sons has a F 350 that is somewhat jacked up on horse power, and will spin big tires on the roll and can "roll coal". The fucking Prius fags lose their minds when they "coaled".

There are Facebook pages, clubs and millions of dollars spent to do this. Branded lines of 30 something clothing, anything you can imagine.

EARTH FIRST mother fucker, we will log the other planets later.

[Derron]

She is hotly American I am sure. As such, the first time you opened your pie hole and dropped a couple dozen " eh ?? and "aboot' 's on her she would know your game and reject even your perverted masturbatory fantasy in a few seconds. Completely rejected.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

American chicks dig Canucks.

Don't even lie. You know it to be a fact.

Link ??

Why?

One of my sons has a F 350 that is somewhat jacked up on horse power, and will spin big tires on the roll and can "roll coal".

Again, why?

[kcdave]

No you don't.

I don't? Huh? What the fuck is that?

[trev]

Smog certificates every 2 years are a ridiculous racket.

[Moving Sale]

Buy a car that is not an old piece of shit and just pay the 20$ abatement fee.

Thanks for nothing, dolt. Where I live, it's required on every car, new or old, every 2 years.

[Moving Sale]

And where might that be? Don't tell me you are stupid enough to live in one of those 92**** zips in SD are you?

[trev]

And where might that be? Don't tell me you are stupid enough to live in one of those 92**** zips in SD are you?

I think I'll stay here for the time being. Dumbass smog cert. laws and all.

Yes, it's a racket.

[Moving Sale]

Doesn't the diesel have to be 1997 or older to be exempt from smog checks in ca.?

[mvscal]

I seem to get one of these ass holes trying to dust me once a month or so when I am out running, or going for a ride.

No you don't.

I don't? Huh? What the fuck is that?

What that is is you being full of shit. Does that clarify it for you?

[smackaholic]

Its not illegal to do it in California, while modifying the exhaust on any normal car will get you pulled over, diesel trucks and Harley Davidsons can pretty much do whatever they want

these dudes have to be gax.
