Unless you plan on selling it to a young kid.

And then had a blast when I drove one. My own hypocrisy nearly did me in, but i see the fun in it.

(For the record, I bought a mini Cooper primarily for the MPG. I'm keeping it cause it's just a blast!)

seeing the huge cloud? Or is the fun in causing discomfort to the driver behind (like swerving into a puddle to splash a pedestrian)? Something else?

Serious question; I really don't get it...

Any more than I can explain women's fascination with shoes.

It's not a real thing. Have a little fun while you can.

It's basically the same thing.

...though enforcement is rare it is going to increase soon.

just nasty

You'll also need to get an "I Roll for Priuses" rear window decal.

Apparently, your I.Q. remains above average, since you are questioning this move.

I immediately judge the owner as being selfish and uncaring about the damage they are doing to others health. I have the same viceral reaction as when I see the battle flag of the CSA displayed-hmmmm often from a "rolling coal" piece of shit.

Rolling coal is a deliberate "f^%k you" to everyone who ever fought for clean air, clean water, healthy land, and living ecosystems.

Our small town has a 4th of July parade and many older model cars are in the parade. A few young a..holes do this to the crowd every year and it's disgusting.

to answer a simple question simply.

I mean, you can flatten your tires with leftover nails and screws too but I don't know why you would, even though it's a free modification.

Now if you could replace your cats with straight pipe you'd at least get a horsepower advantage, but depending on your state's emission regs you might not be allowed to do so.

Just get some wolf skin seat covers, a baby fur seal club, some Nugent CD's and you'll be good to go.

though it does seem strange that you'd be unclear on how unprogressive it is. Why the sad face? Surely you wouldn't expect anyone to defend 'rolling coal'.

To be frank, it's more regressive than having testicles hanging from your truck. It actually hurts other people, rather than just offending them.

Rolling coal is exactly the opposite. Also, No, it won't increase the value of your truck. It will cost you more in fuel usage, if you use the modification, and will shorten the life of your engine.

Why on earth would you even ask this question? Really.

And choke everyone along the way?

I don't need to blow smoke in everyone face to be a man!


I live on a very busy street (wasn't always like this), but every single day there are about 3 morons who think it's cute to "roll coal" all the way down the street. They drive off to the horizon while everyone is left breathing the smog they left behind.

If your rolling coal, you might as well go all in and get the truck nuts.

It really is harder on your engine cylinder walls and will cause scoring of the walls. A guy in his early 20's might want the truck, but nobody else would want it. Hell, if you wanted to pull a boat or a camper, you'd get shit all over it.

Up to you, but IMHO, coal-rolling is a douchebag move, intended to spite anyone who gives a shit about the environment, and as a way to harass other people with clouds of smoke.

Thus I find it obnoxious.

But, I have to admit to wondering - is there an actual purpose/function for the modification - or is the whole point just to be able to troll other drivers/people?

Then, sure, knock yourself out. And throw on a pair of truck nuts and a Peeing Calvin while you're at it. No half measures, young man!

It actually reduces the carbon emissions from your truck to remove the Diesel Particulate Filter. DPF ruins the efficiency, fuel economy and HP of your motor. Removing it adds a bit of particulate pollution while making the truck more efficient(AKA less CO2 emission).

Unless you're into hitting the local truck pulls on Friday/Saturday night.

Environmentalism is one of the pillars of progressivist thought, and coal rolling was popularized as a deliberate middle finger to environmentalists. It's a redneck way of saying "Fuck you, I'll pollute all I want." It reflects a low IQ, conservative mindset that thinks it's funny to pollute the environment, or worse, that rejects any notion that human caused pollution is a bad thing. I just saw a coal roller last week being driven by some piece of useless conservative trash with a bumper sticker that said "Just doing my part to support Global Warming!" That pretty much says it all, right there.

May as well ask whether you can still be a progressive if you dump your used motor oil in the ocean. It's deliberate and pointless pollution, and I wish a nasty case of lung cancer on everyone who does that shit.

Removing the diesel emissions equipment is great for performance and won't inherently cause the truck to put out giant clouds of black smoke. A little smoke is possible, but the giant clouds are put out when people intentionally run the engine on the rich side. This is done for no reason other than to leave a giant smoke trail behind you.

Removing the DPF increases particulate pollution and, in areas already suffering from bad air, can significantly worsen air quality. But that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about the useless fuckheads that wire the bypasses onto their engines to run rich at the flip of a switch, so they can blow big clouds of black smoke to show off or to "crop dust" Priuses and anyone else they want to piss off on the road. These worthless idiots are EVERYWHERE here in the California Central Valley. Luckily, our local police pull them over and cite them whenever they see it.

besides being a jerk on the road. I appreciate reading the actual purpose function.

It's one of the most nonsensical things ever. It makes even less sense than putting a shoe or pancake on your head.

It is difficult for me to believe that someone who could ask the question could simultaneously be so ignorant as to the consequences of the action about which they inquire. I suspect troll-hood, but a stunning level of ignorance could also be the culprit.

The poster lasted two weeks!

As a lifelong gearhead, I hate them. All the attention they bring is negative, which seems to be the whole point.

Going road rage on coal-rolling idiots is a bad idea. Leave them to the cops.

In my opinion anyone that would have that would have to be a total jackass. It's dangerous to other drivers
it pollutes the air. The couple little sawed of punks I know that drive one are about 5' 5' and need a ladder to get in their truck and yes they have fake balls on their trailer hitch and between their sawed off little legs. They are very popular with Trump supporters.

They only reason those cretins do this is to get in the face of environmentalists. Being a polluter intentionally is not progressive at all.
