"Coal rolling" now a subculture in CO.

We will always have something to whine about...

"I am reminded of how weak I am as a person traveling at a slow rate of speed without a protective encasement around me, compared to large powerful vehicle," said Depew.

I'll whine about it. I was on I25 on this Sunday driving my son to his mothers house when someone did this. I couldn't see the car in front of me or to my sides for several seconds. Actually being a few cars back from the truck I'm sure I didn't cause the drivers angst. If you trying to be cool causes risk to my safety or that of my son I've been officially pissed off. Absolute douchebaggerry.

Add me to the list of whiners. I'm one of the least confrontational people you'll meet, but if me and my family (2 year old and 1 year old) were in the position of the Tacoma in that video, with our windows down enjoying the nice weather, and that dbag fills my cabin full of smoke, we are exchanging words.

To be fair, you drive a Subaru. You know deep down you deserve it....

LOL I've heard that before.

Seems like a waste of fuel to me; diesel is expensive.

These same asshats will cry when the dot hits them for emissions.

It's based off the trucks programmer - they can easily turn it off and on. Basically they switch it to a mode that dumps tons of fuel, but low boost making the black cloud.


This is a truck version of a sport bike rider. You have sport bike riders who enjoy the speed safely or even the different riding position, but then you have the "crotch rocket" rider who hauls ass and ruins it for the rest of us. I had to go 2 under the speed limit when I was on my sport bike because officers pre-judge riders because of what they are one. In this instance, I would love to own a beefed up diesel but would get put into the d-bag category because I look like one of them. People will always have opinions of things, and it only takes 1 d-bag to screw it all up for everyone.

Sorry for those of you who have been smoked out - that is not very kind of those d-bag drivers. They need to keep that to their club and do it away from people who do not like it.

p.s. Its "rolling coal" not the other way around

New emissions requirements for late model vehicles will basically sort the 'problem' out. DPFs and DEF requirements are in place at this point.

Oh, and if you drive with your tow mirrors flipped with no trailer, go fuck yourself. If you put wheels that are chrome and 20" plus on your truck, same story.

They used to call Cummins motors "ragburners". Even with no programmer, my pump just loves to dump fuel, so I'm pretty absurdly smokey any time I'm under load. I'm talking 19th century locomotive style smoke. Yet I fly through emissions.

This is just the redneck version of a "rice burner". People who think this is fun to do typically are in possession of smaller than average genitalia.
