Rolling coal is the practice of tampering with a vehicle’s emissions control system, causing it to spew black clouds of sooty exhaust.

    I drive a Prius. Assholes “roll coal” when they drive next to me all the time. I don’t even get it. They’re not even giving me shit for having an electric car, they’re giving me shit because I pay less for gas than they do.

      No, it’s because of their fragile ego.

        Sure, but they do it specifically to Priuses. Electric cars too, but also Priuses and other hybrids. I’ve heard so from other hybrid owners and seen them do it too. It is definitely about their fragile ego, but I think it’s also just because they’re idiots.

          They feel threatened because they think they’ll be forced to drive a small hybrid one day. Which bothers then because, yeah… their fragile egos

              Because my fascism where I fuck over people I don’t like is better than your fascism where you give me health care, clean air, and affordable education.

          It’s happened to me and I just drive a small car. They’re doing it to any vehicle that’s not a fuckoff huge truck I guess

      I’m fortunate enough to be able to walk to and from work every day. These “roll coal” bastards just hate me for it. I think it must really chap their assess to see little ol’ me bopping down the street listening to my tunes and not needing an emotional support truck the way they do.

      If it’s any consolation, the fact that they are modifying their trucks which are already enormously over priced and gas suckers to suck even MORE gas when they do this to you should hopefully provide some sort of satisfaction to you. I typically point and laugh at them.

        Oh I’m aware and I do laugh at them. They just also baffle me.
