Fun fact: they have to modify the emissions system of the truck to do it, violating Federal law (the Clean Air Act).
If you try to “roll coal” in an unmodified diesel (in proper working order), the “best” you’ll get is a light haze of soot, not a black cloud. This is because the manufacturers do actually try to design them to be efficient, and every bit of soot represents unburned fuel that didn’t get converted into propulsive force.
Ngl, that sounds like a “feature”, not a bug, given that we are talking about Texans here. I’m not even being pejorative, that’s literally a thing they often proffer as worth being proud of, Remember The Alamo and such.
And yes that is a fun fact - thanks for sharing it!:-)
Not always. okay fine so always
They also jack up the trucks by putting on wheels that are themselves taller than the fuel-efficient cars that they drive over like pavement.
There’s also the trucks that do the “rolling coal” shit.
Fucking shit - TIL that’s on purpose!?

Yep. As a Prius driver, they do it to me all the time, because apparently paying less for gas than they do makes me a communist.
Hehe, if I was there I would wear a mask everywhere I went, just to fuck with people:-).
Even/especially inside of a vehicle.
