These guys with rollin' coal setups, put out more air pollution in one day than each of our Festivas in one year!

I have a diesel truck. Albeit it's older (1985 GMC K2500, 6.2 IDI) and I have yet to understand what is sooooo appealing about 'Rolling Coal'.
"Look at me, I'm wasting fuel AND being a flippin' jack ass".
Mine does smoke a bit when I'm pulling a loaded car trailer upon initial 'getting it rolling' but that's about it.
Granted it's not turbo'ed, don't have the fuel cranked way up, has no way of being 'chipped' or other such nonsense.
And then these idiots wonder why their 'super truck' only gets 12 MPG. SMH. -
They sure do.
Lots of the guys i grew up with drive things like that or enjoy it, i never got it either.
I used to work for a guy and we installed cable TV lines to houses. Not a big trailer- only 20ft or so bumper pull double axle, but the trenchiing machine, drilling pipe and the rest of it was really heavy. He had a chipped dodge diesel manual trans to pull it and it was quite nice. Drove well, lots of power, not really any black smoke.
It was getting repaired one day so a friend of his lent him his truck basically to "see how awesome it was". A newer dodge dually with lots of work done to it, gauges everywhere, lifted, tinted windows, the works. Supposed to have a ton of power.
It shifted terribly, clutch was super grabby, poured black smoke anything over 1/8th throttle, super loud exhaust. had 2 pyrometers, both with loud alarms but they went off at different temps. You could hardly speed up at a decent rate without both ear piercing alarms going off and having a massive cloud behind you.
It was the most embarassing day for both of us. Tried to stay off the main roads and take it easy but the trailer we were hauling had his company name on it and im sure more than a few people thought we were morons after that.
Im not sure the guy who owned it ever towed anything. Never saw him tow and i dont see how he could the way it was set up...
