      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

      Teenager murdered a cyclist when attempting this but instead drove over them. Was in Texas, great surprise.

    Good, because the EPA doesn’t do a damn thing when you send them video, even with license plates.

    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.

    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

      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.

    It’s is an own-the-libs deal, as you’ve probably guessed.

    Wouldn’t it be great if someone had some sort of AI computer software that would notify you if you made a grammatical error? The absolute state of journalism today.

      lol that’s an obvious editing error. You’ve never tried to write or you’d instantly recognize it

        I gotta say it’s nice to see a reduction in “you have a typo” rebuttals over the years, buddy that you replied to notwithstanding. Most of the ones I can think of that I’ve seen recently are more “fyi the saying uses these other words that sound similar” rather than “omg you made a spelling/grammar mistake, therefore your argument is invalid”.

          I remember the grammar nazi years at Reddit, was not fun. Being pedantic for pedantic’s sake is no different than being ad hominem. People who have no argument attack the arguer instead.
