WTF is this rollin' coal activity?
 

Murica is what this is.

People that have no regard for others around them. Basically, assholes that are deliberately offensive to others.

One of the most amazing things in New York, or perhaps even one of the worlds wonders...
Is when you go past a certain line in New York that lands you in redneck land. It's extremely random. You'll see a lot of Rollin' coal around those parts.

so because they have diesel trucks and "roll coal" that makes them "ignorant, degenerate rednecks?"

Who's being a discriminating hipster douche bag now?

The whole idea of doing so is to blast smoke into peoples faces...

He's only telling the truth.

and that has to be rednecks?

not really. get outside more.

Speaking entirely from experience.

i live in a town of about 20k people about 3 hours from the Appalachians in the "South." Most everyone in this town are to poor to afford trucks like that.

The people that can afford trucks like that are rich kids that think it's cool to act like a redneck. See "Buckwild" on MTV

I've seen some absolute shitboxes that can't be worth their weight in scrap driven by our local white trash "rolling coal" up here.

You................got a problem with that bud?

Didn't think so...............

I've had a 2010 and a 2013 truck. Both would "roll coal" if I got on it hard enough. Just as if some of you do at a light most likely. I find it funny a person from Washington, Connecticut and Canada has such a stereotypical mindset of "rednecks" and the south. Maybe that's how that wannabe's rednecks are up North. (Not all people are like that, just naming the states of the people above that have this said mindset) But down here it's NOTHING like that. We actually have respect for others and would give the shirt off our backs or give money to someone that needs it. Unless MTV chooses to shoot a scripted show and gives the south a bad image.

Someone like that generally wouldn't fall under the categories of ignorant and degenerate, or at least I wouldn't think so.

The Truck scene never made sense to me... now this just confuses me even more...

I don't know much about the rest of the south, but when I've done work in Alabama, they really were the nicest people in the states. Northern Irish are the nicest people in the world as far as I've seen.

This is why ...

Nah, I had this long reply written about stereotypes and how wrong they are before I remembered this is the internet. Nevermind.

You are obviously ignorant to the fact that rolling coal is when the emissions hardware is removed from a diesel engine to increase mileage. I will refrain from verbally attacking you for that reason.

I rolled coal on your mother last night.

You were drunk, it was me

Not even mad. Still came.

I'm walkin funny but not mad either :wub:

:sigh: In your butthurt you seem to have completely missed that actual practice that was being referred to.

Looked up some videos, I lol'd :iono:

Can anyone enlighten me on this topic? I saw on article on this the other day and these kids were labeled "anti-environmentalists" and "anti-Obama" and their motivation for doing this shit was in protest of some political ideology they didn't support. Is this true?

Just gonna put this right here....

In my experience it's simply been people being ****s for the "lulz". Whether or not it's politically motivated would depend on the individual.

Holy shit she needs a board across the face

haha yea. Even the Prius community has their douche bags

The Prius community seems to have more douchebags than anyone else

Rolling coal is a common practice. Whether is is to get better mileage and or power or just to be an asshat.

I don't really care what the motivation was to do it, just that it is an abhorrent practice.

I find your reference to my "butthurt" both offensive and unnecessary.

Good day sir.

Except that diesel trucks will do this without mods purposely to do so. The concept of doing it to be an asshole is one thing, excess diesel fuel going out the exhaust is another.

An asshat redneck tried to roll coal on me. Walking out of a grocery store I noticed said asshat start to sprint to his jacked truck. Jumped in turned away from the exit so he could pass by my car. Stomped on it just as he passed by. I got in and backed up in plenty of time to avoid the cloud. Stopped and watched as he turned around and headed for the exit proving he did it deliberately and even went out of his way. To those who say it's a stereotype then why is it always a white male? Redneck, period. M is for the mudflaps I put on my truck. O is for the oil I put on my hair. T is for Texas. H is for Haggard. E is for everything else I do wrong and R, R is for REDNECK.

Plenty of rednecks here in 'commiefornia'

Seen a handful of lifted trucks rolling coal, never bothered to interview them to see what stereotype they fit into.

It's not any different than donk, stance, hellaflush, ricers, drifters, muscle car meatheads, or obsessive garage queens. It's a fad, it's a minority of diesel owners and it will pass, maybe a couple citations here or there that will seem silly and outdated 50 years from now.

Really sucks because it hurts the idea of diesel becoming a viable fuel in this country, I think diesel has a better shot at giving us complete energy independence than the electric car. Plus it's a byproduct of some cool automotive enthusiasm, I'd hate for it to get shut down for the wrong reasons...

Never been too interested in drag racing, but a four door truck pulling 10.7 second quarter mile is impressive no matter what you're into.

There's a crazy load of advanced electric vehicles in Europe; Germany is going crazy for e-bikes, and Volvo has this thing, why can't we get all these cool cars in the USA? There's only a trickle of this stuff coming over to our market.

LOL @ this thread.. "Rolling coal" is just a byproduct of tuning large diesel engines. If your going for max hp gains, you gotta delete the particulate filters,just like how we get rid of our cats on cars.. Fun fact: Diesel only burns clean on a VERY conservative tune.. :D I have never once intentionally smoked out someone, but Im willing to admit its happened when I wasnt that aware of my surroundings.. :( Did I deserve a ticket? Maybe,but its worth the 673hp my truck makes.. "Rolling coal" isnt a custom tune for that purpose, anyone who owns a diesel truck knows this, its just a fun side effect of more straight-line fun than most people with tuner cars can even imagine. All this being said, for every "nice" diesel truck guy who isnt an asshat, it seems like theres about 3 fucktards. And thats why Ive never been to a truck event, but Im a regular at our weekly FR-S/BRZ meet..better odds of meeting someone Ill like..

Starts America's elitism thread, now this. Bro, if you don't like here...just leave.

I have no issue with "rolling coal" until it's used offensively in public because some degenerate shitbag thinks it's funny or wants to be a ****head. I've been on the motorcycle a couple times where some huge lifted brotruck comes rolling up next to me (or as I pass them) and next thing I know I have a face full of diesel exhaust that I can't avoid because motorcycle. Every time I see the guy (or guys) looking in their rear views.

At the strip, some event or whatever, do what you want, make your truck as fast as you want and roll more coal than a train, I'm fine with that. Some of these trucks are pretty badass... Just show some respect and don't fucking roll coal in my face.

Comparing this to stance, muscle car meatheads, drifters, ricers, etc, is wrong. Sure those guys may be annoying, but at least they aren't targeting people and blasting them with diesel suit.

Rolling coal refers to intentionally shooting smoke into people's faces or their cars.

No one here is mad that diesels occasionally shoot out smoke.

It entirely has to do with the douchebag aspect of purposely being an asshat.

Just stop. You're using logic, and this is the internet. That shit doesn't fly here.

I "rolled coal" back in the 1982. Only it was with my family's Olds Diesel wagon (gold with wood). The exhaust was out the curb side, and by timing it right I could slip the car into "N", stomp the gas and engulf bike riders, joggers and walkers in a thick cloud.

Great to see history repeat.
