Its not just the smoke they attack the "loud exhaust" crowd too which is much larger.... did they forget that loud exhaust is part on an 80 year old tradition called "hotrodding" :roflmao:

My old lb7 smoked like hell on biodiesel. It was sh** brown though so maybe I'd have gotten away with it

Smoking people out is wrong just for stupid kicks but then you get the nanny state bandwagon jumpers that want to play liberal regulator and designate what they think is good for you. Soot cloud idiots are helping them band together and make liberal legislators jump on the wagon with 'em. Colorado is full of 'em.

was it B100? Or just B20 or B40 or the like
B100 would smoke tan/brown. And probably 30-40% less smoke than on regular diesel. But still very noticeable on bobos hot 500rwhp stock motor tune

^^ This.
I don't mind smoke at the track, but when you are blowing black in town, or worse, intentionally on/at people, it just makes all diesels look bad.
Plus, I know the health risks are exaggerated quite a bit, but even I don't enjoy breathing in a cloud of cummins fart. Imagine what Joe Normal thinks, with all the propaganda about causing cancer and early death.
I'm not saying the EPA is right for what they are doing-I think they are out of control. but the people that do this are handing the EPA the best gift they can all wrapped up with a bow- public opinion of diesel performance as being a very visible dirty sport filled with immature small dicked people who need to be kicked. So even the people who wouldn't normally support big gov't don't feel bad when the EPA comes down on us b/c they have had their day ruined by one of these retards.
i dont like to talk to much shit on dodge but i really think alot of this comes from the fact that almost every cummins at least by me is a rolling smoke stack
It doesn't matter if you blow smoke on someone or throw a strawberry milkshake on them, you're acting like a dumbass.
I was understanding where this guy was coming from, about diesels bowing smoke intentionally and feeling sorry for him. Then I read in the comments how they relate this to Loud motorcycles and that totally changed my opinion.
A loud motorcycle is so much more attractive than a puttering Vespa.

im not trying to sound like a tree hugger here, but this post is incorrect. soot is particulate matter. soot does not really pollute the air, soot pollutes the ground water. and i really hope you were joking about why you own a diesel truck lol
It pollutes the air when the cloud of soot is sprayed out of a tail pipe on into your face.
haha I guess if you think of it that way it is. or the way the epa was testing it on people it is as well. my point was that soot does pollute the ground water that we drink, and is contributing toxins in it that he was talking about.
I am going to agree with this. Doing it to people on the street also brings down lots of regulations that keep all kinds of awesome diesel vehicles from coming into our country. Smoke at the track...cool, smoke on my kids biking down the sidewalk...not cool.
