Well thankfully CNN is on the rocks anyway, maybe a lot of people won't see that. It's the last thing we need is an ever over reaching goob'ment agency with the power to enact laws without any other branches approval to start meddling in this hobby.

For everyone's sake people, have some decorum about your behavior, please.

The EPA has already banned programmers with "non-compliant" tunes

Saw a Fed-x driver in a van get ticked at an intersection and leave briskly. Big cloud rolled up the nearby building wall. I doubt his truck is modded. Probably just worn parts. Maybe that's why he had to get on it hard.

Anyway, I'm working hard to clean mine up. I'd rather not draw attention like that.

That is ridiculous. Why would anyone purposely stick their head over a stack "rollin' coal"? Good luck with those black boogers & sinus infection. Darwin candidates if you ask me

Gotta agree... on another mostly ex-mil type forum, there was a thread specifically about rolling coal and three pages of posts suggesting those types were on the same level as the gang bangers, morons and the cars with the loud "boom-boom" music.

To put it mildly, rollin coal does not win you friends or influence people.

I believe it's a $75.00 per cloud fine in Ocean City Maryland for rolling coal. I bet many other citys will also be doing this soon. I'm with j-martin i'm working to clean mine up.

Personally, I don't see anything funny about it.

As far as I know around here, it's over a $1,000 fine and get your truck impounded.

That's why I live in the farthest possible place in the U.S. from California.

I would love to fix my '06 from smoking as much as it does with a VGT, but it looks like that never got off the ground.
