Rolling coal?

[tripledog]

This is about the most moronic trend I have seen as of late.

We have this very problem where I live. A bunch of a-holes with more money then brains, that lift their diesels, and "roll coal" whenever they get the chance. I understand that diesels have come a LONG way since they were first introduced in passenger cars, and trucks, back in the early 80's. And, as such, it is ridiculous the amount of power you can obtain from them. Along with that power comes great, pluming, billowing, engulfing, clouds of smoke. It is not necessary to be a moe-tard, and cover anyone you choose in soot. Was really funny when they blasted the cyclists. It'll be even more funny when one of those "sooted" cyclists, crashes head first into something/someone because of some jackas$ in a jacked up, coal rollin, pig of a truck, and said truck driver is slapped with a hefty fine. Although someone may get hurt, I'd just point at that moron "coal roller" and laugh my white azz off at his foolishness. Can't tell I have a real distaste for these retards, now can you? HAHAHA!!! I mean no offense to those that are diesel freaks.

On a side note; I must admit I have rolled coal myself. But, I'm not a total hypocrite. I rolled coal right onto another "coal roller". Was taking a used Duramax on a test drive after an alignment (belonged to the dealer up the road, I do their alignments), and who do I see coming up behind me when I pull out on to the street? That's right, one of those idiots I see blasting past my shop's door, with a billowing cloud of smoke behind him. Seizing the opportunity to give him a taste of his own medicine, I ease out the clutch and allow him to get within 20' of my rear bumper. Once I had him where I wanted him, I nailed the throttle shooting nice fat clouds of coal onto his truck! I stomped the clutch and threw it into 2nd like I was going down the quarter mile, again sending soot all over his truck. Now, I do know the guy so I was "in the clear", and when I saw him a few days later I asked him how he liked getting "blacked out". His response, "I was like, dayum! Who's the new kid in town!?!" Really???? You get a chubby over that??? Strange new breed of "hot rodders" roaming the streets...

Not rolling coal but similar effect...

A few year back my dad and I built an FFR Cobra replica. It was 5.0 powered and had sidepipes with very little muffler.

I loved blipping the throttle at stoplights next to cars with the windows up and drivers yammering away on the phone. You could see the windows shake.

That car was AWESOME.

Every bus in Mexico has been doing that for almost half a century. Ya'll are just starting to catch up to our high technology mods.

Few cans of spray foam should fix 'em up good. Not much cloud coming from a blocked exhaust. Sorry for my biker attitude but sometimes instant karma needs a shove.

I would love to do this to all the cyclists that ride in the middle of the road like they own the place and all the kids that think their cool when they cut the springs so they can sag their ass on the ground and especially all the protestors.....I think its cool lol
but for now I'll just have to stick to water pistols mounted to the wing mirrors!!

only reason to blow smoke is at a truck pull, besides that it's just people normally age 18-28 kids turning up the pumps. I bought a HEMI because diesels are overrated for 80% of people who need a truck.

Thank you! Someone that shares my view point on diesels! Don't get me wrong diesel lovers, they are very nice machines, and certainly are worth the money. IF, that's a big IF, IF you are actually using them for their intended purpose. Like oldskool said, 80% of it dumbies that own them, don't need them one bit. I prefer my gasser over a diesel any day. Too many emission control devices, engine management, and electronics for my blood. Besides, when I compare apples to apples, I spend no more on gas in my 8.1 then they do in their diesels.

Lot's of those types in this neck of the woods. Kids working the rigs, buying 70k trucks and making them look like a 74 Pinto running rich. I like performance but that's not my way of showing it. What's with the idiots sticking there faces in the plume? I have a 5.9 cummins due to a 13k pound fifth wheel but she's stock; and it still stinks if in a restricted space. I don't get it.

I roll coal. I drove my truck for years bone stock, it's a 7.3. Anyone who is familiar knows that you can pull a house down with it, they have a ton of power, but they're almost dangerously slow for driving in Massachusetts. I installed some tunes in it about two months ago and now she gits right the frick up! Night and day difference would be an understatement. Yes it rolls coal but it moves the frig out. Anyone who knows me knows that I use my one ton truck. I usually break at least one leaf spring a year. I am a very eco friendly person with this being one of my only hiccups in that regard, my machines. Sob and hate me if you'd like to gents, I love my truck.

This is now the world we live in.

It's why I drive a Gas burning Chevy Silverado......

You drive a gas burning Chevy Silverado because you

A- Have no big loads to pull

B- Couldn't afford the diesel

C- Enjoy getting 12 miles per gallon

I drive a diesel and don't need to be associated with ignorant people so no need to generalize.

7.3 PSD Stock 17mpg and no need for coal rollers

Not to be a dick (really I'm not), but, an 8.1 big block backed by an Allison will and does pull as good as a diesel. Have two of them in the family. Actually 3 including the 3500 van I bought specifically for the engine. However, I do feel that anyone that has anything less then a big torque big block probably doesn't have to pull much.
