My 7.3 will smoke if I really, really get into it, like merging when pulling our 24' enclosed and traffic is tight.
Just saw one tonight. He had two easily 18 in stacks coming out behind the cab, Texas and US flags in each stake pocket, and this huge Paul Bunyons Ox Blue U shaped thing on the trailer hitch. He also had an honest to goodness Yosemite Sam "Back Off" sticker on the window. No truck nutz though.
Freakin' epidemic around here. Yes, usually the aforementioned younger types with the ball cap and modern country or rap blasting. Not usually John Deere stuff but lots of Matte color paint jobs and Camo covering everything. Oh, generally accompanied by one of these plastered across the back window. http://flogrown.com/product-category/stickers/ I feel dumber day by day....... Cheers, Lee S.
Big difference between the smoke when the truck is actually working and the asshats who intentionally cause them to smoke with their "tuning". A little smoke is one thing, what these clowns are doing is another. Seen one literally ENCOMPASS the car behind him in a black cloud. Car had to wait for the cloud to dissipate before he could take off on the green. What if someone drove into the smoke and slammed into the car who couldn't see squat? What if a biker was behind the truck when he did that? That's all our "cruise area" is Friday and Saturday nights, bunch of idiots in diesels out "rolling coal". Most of them cant be more than 18-19. Sometimes fining these tards wont work. I know one guy whos got 10+ tickets for no front plates. He refuses to put one on. Hell theres a woman in Madison who has got 30 tickets for operating after suspension and no insurance in TWO YEARS. She doesn't care about having a license. Maybe taking her damn car would get it through her thick skull.
I get what your saying. I just think the rolling coal is the lesser of the above evils. In Florida, driving without the ole license shenanigans is an offense which can take you to the can on the spot. I'd like to see more of that in other states. I don't want to get too dungeonesque about it and steer this thread off track but some equipment violations aren't nearly egregious as other motor vehicle violations out there especially when we are talking about confiscating property.
So, let me get this straight. Shit head kids and retards are being shit head kids and acting like retards? Seems about par for the course.
Lol... I saw that! The vid where they engulfed the cop car coming up on them in the left lane ..... you saw it, then it was GONE amidst the black cloud! Surely, that cop didn't take a liking to that. How big of a dumazz does one have to be to do that?
Funny conversation today while waiting in line for a breakfast burrito. I see a Ford F250 pulling into the parking lot with two huge smoke stacks in the bed of the truck and I comment to my friend that they have been in the news lately for people modifying them to blow black smoke. A young Marine in front of me states that's the fun of having a diesel, blowing smoke on people. I tell him only douchebags do that shit. He quietly turned back around and went to whatever young Marines do.
At least that doesn't take up bed space... I have seen many people with stacks through the bed, and while I do think it looks kinda cool (in a childish monster-truck sort of way), it kills the utility of the truck.
Elitist hippy dolphin friendly 1%er scum. You're lucky he DIDN'T do what Marines do, f@ck shit up hardcore, and let you walk away without jamming your head up your poophole.
Which would be expected if he were a proper Marine, but if he's running around in his diesel truck being a douchebag by blowing smoke all over other people, he's already proved that he's not.
We have them here in WV/VA.. I got stuck behind one on my bike one day and literally could not see the road at all.. the car in front of me ran off the road, I almost ran into them, and almost got rear ended.. He just kept rolling on and off the gas making his POS belch out a literal smoke screen.. When it started to dissipate, I could see that people on the other side of the road had pulled over as well because they couldn't see..
I knew that. Still, how can you be an eco wienie and Marine at the same time? That like being nice smelling hippy. Sorry, if he wants to run around with a stack of burning tires in the bed of his truck, I'd buy him the matches and a gallon of diesel to light it up. Rolling coal is f@ckin' awesome!
Back when I had the Mustang GT, I never mounted the front plate since I thought it totally ruined the front-end's look. Headed North on our main drag I encountered a city cop headed South. He lit me up, rolled up next to me with his window down and told me I had no front plate. I looked perplexed and said, "Neither do my motorcycles." With the deer-in-the-headlights look, he rolled up his window and drove off.
