Out of all the senseless, idiotic, moronic trends that Americans could EVER come up with...THIS one takes the cake.

‘Rollin’ Coal’ culture warriors want to douse your Prius with their smoke-belching trucks

A hot new trend known as “Rollin’ Coal” is sweeping the stupider corners of the country. If you are unfamiliar with the craze (in the truest, craziest sense of the word), forgive me for bursting your blissful bubble. Coal rollers modify their diesel pickups to get shittier mileage and belch as much pollution as possible, then blast a wall of black to show off to their friends and piss off environmentalists and anyone who likes breathing. “Prius Repellant” decals are a popular accoutrement for rollin aficionados who thought Calvin peeing on things was too subtle.

Now, Rollin’ Coal has become more than just a way for young dudes with too much money and too little sense to blow off steam — it’s become a weapon in the culture wars.

While much of the world struggles to make diesel a cleaner alternative, these jack-holes are intentionally filthying it up. That’s right, these Einsteins have decided the best way they can get at you is to make their already un-thrifty vehicles way way way more wasteful. Right now, the average price of a gallon of diesel in the U.S. is $.56 more than a gallon of gas. The thinking seems to be, “I hate you and your clean air! I’ll show you by mutilating my truck and burning my money a $3.86 gallon at a time!”

Okay, I guess it had to happen... Folks giving a big to the world. Let's hope it'll be a shortlived hype.
It actually fits quite well with what we were talking about in the "commitment to relationships" thread. It's another symptom of the "zeitgeist" which is all about "me".... I guess some folks would rather destroy themselves and everybody around them then to admit that, maybe, you just cannot have it your way all the time.
