Am I the only one that thinks "rolling coal" is obnoxious? I'm by no means a nature freak (my spirited driving style nets me about 8 mpg on the finest 93 this side of the Mason Dixon Line), and no I don't have a "Coexist" bumper sticker on my Subaru.
Here's my issue: all these 'Merican country boys complain about ricers and their damn fart cans, yet their Detroit Powerhouse with "NOT FOR HIRE" written across the top in ridiculously large font is just as loud, if not louder, but also has the added benefit of making the air quality intolerable for anyone within a 80 foot radius, occupants included.
I'm all for customizing vehicles and making your car yours, but when it gets to a point where it's just creating a pain in the ass for those around you maybe you should think about toning it back a bit. And honestly nobody is impressed by how much soot comes out of your compensation piece. It's just an easy way to tell that you bought your truck to be a dick, not because you actually need it.
DISCLAIMER: I love diesel trucks. And I totally understand their purpose in this world.

Gale Banks Said it best:
As the years have progressed, my thoughts on smoke have been "Why on earth would you want to put the fuel in the engine and then not burn it there? Why do you want to take fuel and put it in the air?" I want to put it in the engine, make power, and kick somebody's ass. Or use it to go further…I want mileage out of it. So, this whole idea of pouring out black smoke kinda goes back to tractor pulling. To make big power, those guys with pre-electronic engines just poured the fuel to it and got this column of black smoke.
So black smoke became associated in the Midwest with power. Manhood and power have always gone together. So this was your symbol of power. Now, my symbol of power is a world record. My symbol of power is a national championship. My symbol of power is kicking your ass—and I do it without smoke.

Rolling coal is super obnoxious and the people who are obsessed with doing that think that conservationism is some kind of an insane anti-human agenda conspiracy theory usually from my experience so they are "sticking it" to Harry Reid or whoever.
These people are worse than ricers IMO.

They are a brodouche and want to look cool as fuck with their chive on shirt and stripper silhouettes on their truck.
Then the rest of people buy them because they need a powerful work truck.

Here's my take. It's stupid. It's terrible for the environment. It's the sort of thing that makes the government and other motorists look at "car culture" and see something that needs to be further restricted. In short, it will one day be these subcultures like "rolling coal" that keep us from having nice automotive things. The irony is that the environmental lobby looks at those smokestacks and sees everything bad about gasoline and diesel, in the same way that coal rollers conflate a legitimate desire to help the environment with tree hugging hippie shit instead of seeing it as a reasonable aspiration. Unfortunately, actual tree-hugging hippies have more political power than automotive smokestack owners. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, and it's the sign of a well-adjusted individual to know where the line is, and the significance of that boundary.

Nope. I think it's a terrible thing. Performance was one thing to have and that was cool. Until people started stickering and fart canning and bouncy cutting springs, fake winging and nuclear zebra painting their cars with a stock engine. And then we called them ricers. Performance diesel guys did it right. The byproduct was black exhaust equaling high power. So we are now aking black exhaust on purpose to be that ricer version of diesel power. No power bonus really, just black exhaust. Is there a derogatory term we can use to describe these coal roller guys? Diesel dorks?
If it was fashoinable to litter, i'd be throwing coffee cups out the window and burning styrofoam plates in my back yard. Actually, these guys probably do that already.

I think the idea though for many is be as obnoxious as possible in every possible way by being loud, brash and generally in your face to get a response in which way it validates their existence even if it's merely to wish they didn't.
Sorry. I just can't get behind something so dangerous and idiotic. There is a reason why they don't smoke like this straight from the factory and that's carcinogens and toxins, some so small that they can be absorbed into the blood stream via the lungs.

If they aren't doing it on other drivers*, I don't care.
*As long as the driver didn't just pull an asshat move.

The ONLY smoke that's gonna come out of my car is smoke from my burnouts/donuts and that time my engine eventually explodes because I drove too hard.

High horsepower turbo diesel belch smoke because they run them rich as a precaution.
These good ole' boys are just trying to look like they are making power. Just like the ricer boys are trying to sound like they are making power.

It's equally as irritating as ricers with fartcans, except you could argue that it causes an even bigger public disturbance with the amount of smoke they produce. The only time in which excessive smoke should be produced is when the faces of the drivers are drawn long with horror as their precious diesel engine runs away.
