Default Coal Rollers / Rolling Coal?

Apparently this is a popular thing?

Sure the import fart pipes and truck nuts were just dumb and annoying, but these chimney stacks trump those 10 fold.
It's bad enough being behind a regular diesel truck when they needlessly rev their engines excessively to flex their penises.

I was going to put this in the "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" thread, but figured these redneck d-bags needed their own thread.

With states like Arizona and Idaho doing their best to nullify the regulatory power of the Environmental Protection Agency, and climate denialism perhaps its most virulent, it is in keeping with an absurdest logic that “coal rolling,” the act of modifying a truck to spew black soot, has emerged as a phenomena. It seems a certain subset of far-right conservatives has found a physical representation of its gleeful disdain for all things environmental.

“Coal rollers” modify their diesel trucks with smoke stacks and smoke switches, which increases the amount of fuel that is dumped into the engine, causing it to combust improperly and emit a black plume of smoke when the engine is revved.
