I have never an would never blow smoke in someones open window. B/c I would get pi$$ed if someone did that to me. I treat people the way I would want to b treated. I rarely step on skinny pedal hard enough to blow smoke.

I don't have a smoke switch and I will never put one on, there are a few times I have done a WOT at a light, thats the only time I will make a little smoke.

Every time I have ever seen one dump bad smoke, I have thought they just killed it. Never thought it was cool but always thought its screwed now.
