Diesel P/U's Coal Smoking It from Stop Lights

I think diesel's are great but these sort of shenanigans just annoy people.


There are a few coal rolling bros around me...my favorite trick of theirs is when they cut somebody off at a lane merge and then give them a blast of black soot to add insult to injury. I hope to heck the cops are keeping a special eye out for these guys as well as the cell phone gazers.

The whole attitude makes me think of a special feature I saw about a car audio "club" on the local news, basically guys with $500 cars packed with $10k+ of amps and speakers. The reporter finally asked a guy why he would make car audio SO loud and he replied, "I want everybody to hear MY music, what I'm listening to."
Just a mindset I can't understand...he's just a consumer, but people for miles around have to be forced to hear what he bought (or stole with a free download).

At the risk of getting this thread locked, if there's a rear-mounted version of this I think this is the ultimate bro repellent.

I remember when the stacks on a pickup were becoming a thing. I always thought they looked good in moderation..

Now they blow black smoke, lift them super high and put sissy mud terrain tires on. I don't get how a tire can be so knobby, but have no sidewall height. A leasurely cruise down a trail with any sort of ruts would chew the heck out of the wheels. Oh and don't forget the distasteful headlights.

In Arizona they're an epidemic also. Your cement comment reminded me of when a neighbor of mine took care of a Honda [censored]-can muffler noise problem. He was a contractor and filled the car's exhaust with spray fire-block foam. It was quiet for a few days anyway.
