Man riding a motorcycle in my state with these fuckin idiots was awful. Even with the helmet I got a waff of this garbage and not to mention it sticking to my clothes on some occasions. It's not even denialism it's just wilful harm. Luckily the number of these idiots seems to have gone down over the last few years.
Try a prius with a busted a/c. Nothing on this fucking planet makes those inbreds want to billow a huge carfart more than seeing a prius with its windows down. It's to the point where if I'm at a light next to a truck that sounds diesel, I roll up the windows before it turns green.
Floor it when it turns green, you'll leave them sitting and then laugh at them when they go flying past you 30mph over the speed limit
So wait a second…. Not only is it that these idiots are buying trucks that are bad for the environment- they’re PURPOSEFULLY modifying them to be even worse?
I haven’t believed in god my entire life, but I think I’m going to start- so I can pray that another COVID comes around to take the pieces of shit out.
Enough is enough. They’ll don’t belong here anymore.
Not only that, their vehicles may not work as efficiently and burn more gas when running.
and then they complain about gas prices
I'd never even heard of this before. Fuuuuck these people.
Teenager murdered a cyclist when attempting this but instead drove over them. Was in Texas, great surprise.
Yeah, they are generally the worst sort.
Look at this case -
Good, because the EPA doesn't do a damn thing when you send them video, even with license plates.
No but they'll go after whoever sold the shit to them
I'm pretty sure that if I go out and remove the catalytic converter from my vehicle, and then drive it, thst it's a $2,500 fine. (Im in the US.)
Perhaps a similar fine is in order for people who have made their diesel engine intentionally run dirty.
Now I will blame part of this issue on the difficulties associated with keeping diesel engine emissions equipment alive. I feel these systems could be made more durable.
Funnily enough, removing your cat. converter is illegal, but getting caught without one isn't. Unless the Fed watches you remove it, they won't fine you.
Totally agree, though. Fuck coal rollers.
This is because it's usually a Crack head that took the liberty of removing it for you
Coal rollers
Traitors
It's the same picture
Didn't even have to read the article to know it would be about rolling coal
Hope the idiots get fined to hell and back
These people are willfully trying to make humans go extinct and make our lives worse. I'm ok with the death penalty.
Tires are expensive. Sidewall damage can't be repaired
Something I keep noticing about the brodozers I see is the tires are almost always bald. And I wonder if they're having trouble with maintainence. Diesel engines are expensive when they break.
