What do you dudes think about this? (Rolling coal?)
http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/health-wellness/2014/07/27/diesel-…
Craig Wedge floors his pickup and the souped-up diesel engine of his Ford F-350 Power Stroke rumbles like a muscle car, blasting black smoke through an unfiltered exhaust pipe.
He and other diesel enthusiasts call this burst of unburned fuel “rolling coal”; for many of them, it is an act of protest against environmental regulations. In defiance of the law, coal rollers disable or discard their trucks’ pollution controls and modify their engines to maximize power and blow smoke with the flip of a switch.
My thought is this-
1. a stereotype gets created of pickup truck owners as anti-environment.
2. Some of the stupider ones actually conform to the stereotype.
3. Some of the really, really ignorant ones go so far as to celebrate the stereotype, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of a pickup owner who is also a gigantic, gaping asshole.

The gay people spread their gayness, and the "coal rollers" spread air pollution. I get it.
Not really.
I don't believe the government needs to step in and regulate the vehicle itself because that creates a tax and purchasing burden to people who truly need those trucks at the price they're selling. But I do believe there are more effective ways for these individuals to "protest" than being assholes.
The Shop
Anybody who might be sitting on any fence sees this, and they fall away from these dumbasses.
All this "coal rolling" is doing is making a slew of political enemies.

I hate the smell of that shit and wanna peat the piss out of every assfuck who thinks it's funny to do it when I'm behind them at a stoplight on my Harley. It looks as stupid to me as a gas truck would with that much blue smoke pouring from it.
I wish they'd start fining the fuck out of them for it.
Pit Row
Luckily the smokey boys wouldn't survive 2 minutes on the road here before the police shut them down.
Btw my little list is not exhaustive. Add your own (UN)favourites.
Every one of these hick fucksticks that roll coal (gayest term ever) could tow his single wide house behind it.
