BTW what's happening with coal rollers?
Imma city bus driver. The other day I was pulled over picking someone up, and wouldn't you know it, some asshat in an obnoxious truck coal rolls me. And of course I had my window open because spring.
I gotta say the noise is worse than the smoke. Why anyone would spend money to make their vehicle sound that way will forever baffle me.
But anyways, to my joy the guy was immediately pulled over! I asked around and I guess the guy got nailed for: interfering with transit operations, illegal tint, and failure to obey traffic signals. About 350$'s worth of tickets.
$350 not enough. Coal rolling is objectively bad for everything including the driver. It's a great metaphor for certain Americans (and maybe us as a whole)
There's a documentary series, "How To by John Wilson," that's on HBO (at least in the US), and it's basically a Nathan Fielder style absurdist look at the world, with a bunch of real world footage edited together, sometimes with a voiceover, for comedic effect.
But one of the episodes has him going out to figure out why people roll coal, and he interviews a guy who does it, who cannot string together any coherent thought behind it. It's amazing television.
I've always wanted to try a really loud car. Same goes for those loud motorcycles.I can't imagine the constant loud noise everywhere you go. You can't sneak home when it's late. Going out to just pick up some groceries? Well looks like your breaking the sound barrier doing it.
remove your vehicle’s catalytic converter to achieve amazing jet engine sound effects!
In an ICE car the part of the tailpipe which is wider (which I believe is also were the catalytic converter is) is tuned to change the engine noise (mostly to reduce it, but it can also be tuned to make it "purr" rather than "roar", like in sports cars)
Cut that out and the car becomes much louder (and if it's not diesel, I believe it's with the kind engine sound one associates with muscle cars).
I was next to a truck the other day, and the driver looked like he was in severe distress. He must have been thinking, "I really want people to know what an irredeemable unrepentant asshole I am, but there are a few people out there who can't figure it out just by looking at my large, shiny pickup truck that has obviously never been used to haul anything. Even though that's a 100% guarantee. If only I could afford to roll coal again! This is all Joe Biden's fault."
I'm just kidding. Who can afford to drive these days?
Crypto bros who bought trump coin in previous January?
Pretty sure the trump coin tanked so they lost all their money didnt it ?
Of course it did
