Rolling Coal

There's been some discussion on the left about "rolling coal," which modifies diesel engines to burn extra fuel on command, the only effects of which are worse gas mileage and some black smoke. Youtube has some yahoos using this to blow smoke at bikers, or Prius drivers, or even random women walking on the street.

The whole thing is so uncommonly immature that Freepers find themselves split between those who still retain a vestigial resistance to purposeless jerkitude, and those who live for spite.

rktman is a renegade.

Some smokey tips for you diesel drivin' rebels out there. Just to PO the epa and envirowackos. Me likey.

but upon the slightest objection, rktman backs off.

I used to work on commercial fishing boats and full throttle was called "smoke holing it". No engine mods were needed on a WWII era 6-71 Detroit diesel to make her smoke, just punch it.
That being said, the guy in the truck video is an ass.

I know. It was an attempt at subtle humor as a response to and to tweek the ecowackos. Maybe it just goes wrong.

Clay Moore's comment is on a digression about engines, but I liked it's style.

A guy in high skrool threw a Houston yellow pages phone book on a Detroit that was running away. He said it proceeded to shred it and blow it out the stack.

Note the use of "high skrool" for no good reason other than to say it. Freeper Shibboleths are the best Shibboleths.

Also in the engines digression, SgtHooper wants you to know no one loves engines as much as he does!!!

Wish they would make a perfume that smelled like diesel fumes. mmmmmmmmmmmm

Hot tar is my favorite!

IronJack really embraces the asshole side:

The green weenies will blow a gasket! It would be nice to see a Prius boxed in at a stoplight by half a dozen of these guys running full tilt boogie.

Boogieman has contempt for fitness.

Also works against those annoying Lance Armstrong wannabes

mountainlion explains the bicyclists war on traffic:

I could see smoking out protesters, but just some bicyclists minding their own business, what a d*ck.

You should see stupid bicyclists riding two wide on a mountain road under repair. The really enjoy blocking traffic and call it their right.

mountainlion further discusses that bikers have a smugness-created immunity to all non smoke-related measures:

Hand ... meet horn. For a LONG time. Sort of takes the fun away I would think

Done that. They just flip you off and smile at each other, after all they think they are superior.

US_MilitaryRules - calling the cops is for weenies. He must not read the forums much.

Just goes to prove they were liberal weenies. Conservatives would have just laughed it off and not called the authorities! zeros new army, turning in your neighbor. And you? Hmmm.

US_MilitaryRules wants to teach the controversy about thick black smoke's environmental benefits:

Who is to say that rolling coal is bad for the environment? The same scientists who claim a consensus that the earths climate is changing because of man? lol

Boogieman has decided being a jerk to liberals is good for them somehow:

Sorry, but this is just plain dumb. You think you’re going to win anyone to our side by going out of your way to be the stinking turd in the punch bowl?

FYI, that wasn’t me driving, I just think it’s hilarious.

As to your question, I don’t care about winning people over, because most liberals won’t be won over until life beats them over the head. They are too far gone to be reached with reason, they will only learn the hard way. So, instead of wasting my time with that, I usually go with something they do still understand: ridicule.

IYAS9YAS has no problem with this, though someone will probably be killed.

I have no problem with coal rollers. It’s their dime. That being said, one of these morons is going to get someone killed or severely injured because the rollee can’t see the road ahead, or someone else can’t see the rollee. Then the laughing stops.

catnipman - reporting on conservative assholes just proves your liberal bias!

Yes, some rednecks are conservatives and some conservative are rednecks, but REAL conservatives believe in conserving things, you know, like natural resources and a livable environment and so wouldn’t deliberately pollute the environment, waste energy resources, and potentially induce accidents by supposedly demonstrating some pointless point about the type of vehicle a fellow human being chooses to drive.

Clearly the author has exposed their personal viewpoint as to the nature of conservatives as well as promulgating the usual bias of the usual “Progressive” media “journalists”
