I see absolutely nothing liberal in the way I use that motto. The motto stands for live and let live. I want to learn, so tell me how to deal with this hypothetical scenario as the OP described. I stop at a light in my top down Corvette and some dip**** in his truck pulls up next to me in his truck and decides to turn on the smoke right in my face. A). Shoot him and enjoy 25 to life. B). Run over to his door, rip him out of his truck and beat his head. C). Have a good laugh, it's just the boys havin' a ili fun D). Call cops. E). Your more elegant solution I am anxious to hear.

No it hasn't happened to me and it is probably a rare thing. It all comes down to being decent person or not.

Chill out and smile at someone who once in a while is obviously having more fun than you are.
Now you done went and did it! I'm telling my wife. She'll take care of this.

A friend of mine, who is a psychologist, calls this kind of behavior "compensation for personal invisibility".

Honestly got you mixed up with the dude with the cop ‘buddy’ snitching on smokers. Not really commenting on op’s issue as that’s more of an act of aggression, wether it’s smoke or spit... I’m more concerned with nannies wanting to “tread on” people instead of minding their own business.

I think you're about a decade too late on realizing this. People like you describe are the reason our trucks have DPF's today, and why companies like H&S were shut down

Very kind of you to refrain from shooting them. I guess.
Is "drop a dime" another AOC expression? These young peoples and their internets, I tell ya...

Actually, the EPA will grow and grow and eventually put DPFs on our hairy butts. Unless we resist.

Are you really saying you never heard it before? Doubt AOC ever heard it, she was baffled by a garbage disposal and plants growing from seeds.

If you mean spend 10 cents, then yes. Is that all you meant? She says stuff like "run train" and it has nothing at all to do with my vocabulary, for example.
So you'd spend 10 cents on somebody rolling coal? You sure pay a lot for ammo. Try sgammo.com

In Texas it is easy to drop a dime on them ! No problem doing it either idiots making it harder for us that do not make azzes out of ourselves lol. .

Smoking Vehicle Program 1-800-453-SMOG


Information and reporting of vehicles that smoke excessively.
Report a Smoking Vehicle (Or Report a Smoking Vehicle in Spanish) For Vehicles Registered in Texas Only

To report a smoking vehicle in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which includes Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Erath, Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro, Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise Counties, go to the North Central Texas Regional Smoking Vehicle Program Web Site.



"State law under Section 547.605 of the Texas Transportation Code prohibits motor vehicles with excessive visible smoke emissions from operating on Texas roadways. Law enforcement authorities statewide may issue citations, punishable by a fine of not more than $350, to the owner of "a vehicle that emits visible smoke for 10 seconds or longer.""

So it’s legal to roll coal for 9 seconds. Pretty good for a state that just recently went with open carry.. kinda. I think you still have to have a permit.

Had a CC Permit for many years and yes you need one to carry open in public. On my own property have carried open all my life even at 12 years old. Do not OC in public that is for idiots imho.

Oh boy. Grew up with OC as the norm. I mostly do cc but it’s more of a combination. Mostly for comfort.

''Rolling Coal'' is juvenile and stupid, but the thing that really bothers me about it is that it can temporarily make driving very dangerous, I see guys rolling coal all the time when accelerating into traffic at highway speeds, You'd be surprised how much black soot a rich running diesel can put out, I've seen it so bad that this black cloud of ignorance covers four lanes of traffic basically blinding you to all that's on the other side of it. I know tuning trucks is fun, gas or diesel, but I believe there should be serious consequence for this kind of behavior when driving, I'm talking big time tickets and license revocation for repeat offenders.

I'm sorry if this makes me sound like a stick in the mud, but its really ridiculous.
