to all you smoke happy drivers
I saw something today that kind of made me think a lil truck passed me with a mobile diesel smoke test sticker in the back window so because of this I decided that I should say some stuff. I know some of these links are older I figured at the rate that diesel popularity is growing as well as this site I figured informing some people newer to diesels some of the issues we are fighting.
Rolling Smokestacks - Strong regulations are needed to clean up diesel tracks and buses A Smoking Gun - Environmental Defense Fund I know I may be smashing on the fun of rolling some coal throughout the neighborhood but just remember be careful of who you let have it because you never know who they are thank you for listening and looking at the links hope this helps some people understand what we have to put up with to enjoy what we have. P.S. I am not an anti-smoke guy it has its time and place just don't think excessive amounts is needed on the road if you wanna smoke like a train do it on the track and not into the windows of fellow drivers vehicles /Rant off/ |

:U: very well said chris |
To some people that is a touchy subject - well put!!:choochoo:

Interesting mile for mile, trucks do a lot more harm to public health then do cars.:bat: That article above sure makes diesel trucks out to be evil.
I guess the guy in the Hummer is green after all :argh: |
yep, I love to roll coal now and then too; but in the interest of preserving our hobby we REALLY need to watch it. I know of quite a few county employees (pretty high up) and officers that are really offended when they see even a tiny puff of soot...not that I think it's right but we need to be a lot more careful than most of us have been; especially now when the regulations seem to be aimed at who can afford to pay fines and are crafted to appease the loudest public outcry.:madd:

Its not where it actually ends up. Its the perception of what its doing. The fact that our smoke looks bad is enough. so your attitude and future clamed actions are the cause of our sport being watched. To the greenies those fart pipe hondas are gold compared to our trucks. |
