Hate to be a tool here, but that kind of stuff puts us under even more scrutiny.

I have to agree....
We continue to do it to ourselves. What did that "tree hugger" do to deserve the soot? And how did you know that they were coming out of Walmart at that particular time? Must have been a good guess. Seems foolish to me, but as long as everyone understands why the scrutiny continues to come down on us, and there is no crying when EPA cracks down even more. IMO, it was a dumb thing to do, and even dumber to post it on youtube, where it will inspire countless others to think it's cool and try to one up you, and continue to give diesel enthusiasts a bad name. Sometimes I think we're acutally worse then the ricers....but I digress.
:2cents:
yes yes yes and yes... however i look at it this way. what is happening with diesel emissions is inevitable. neither you or i or any other person here can reverse what has been put in place.... so with that in mind, i'm enjoyin it while i can...
After all, the smoke was created " off road ". Problem is, had my child or wife been injured coming out of Walmart with such a prank..........
Myself, had this happened to me leaving where ever, would have escalated in road rage and a fight.
I realize it can't be reversed, but how do you think it got to this point? Every time we belch a ton of smoke on the road, intentional or not, most times someone sees it, and we never know who is in that car, who they know, how many letters they'll write, or phone calls they'll make, if they take down tag #'s, etc. Not worth taking the chance. I don't blame any one person for this, however, we could use a little common sense and try to prolong the inevitable. Bottom line is, WE did "this" to OURSELVES, over a period of time. I have blown smoke for fun, and at tailgaters occasionally, so I'm guilty as well, but I keep it down to a bare minimum now, too risky. Plain and Simple, if we only ran the big tunes on the tracks, and presented our image a little better, we wouldn't have pissed so many people off and drawn so much attention to ourselves.yes yes yes and yes... however i look at it this way. what is happening with diesel emissions is inevitable. neither you or i or any other person here can reverse what has been put in place.... so with that in mind, i'm enjoyin it while i can...
