I swear diesel smoke went from the coolest thing in the world to where now it seems like its a freakin taboo if you even blow any out. I COMPLETELY understand griping some teenager out when they come in here like "holy crap my truck pours coal, and I smoke out every car on the highway". People like that need to be castrated. But, IMO, this story does not deserve the same reaction.

The hosser, couldnt agree more

You do realized your status right now as Im reading this thread, is, "soot happens"

 

And you will never see me blowin smoke in somebodies window and laughing cuz it's funny...

 

o brother...look man im sorry but it was funny, maybe not what happened to that guy, but the overall situation was funny.

 

Ahhhhhhh...... Im through here. Im not trying taking either parties side in this argument, Im just trying to get both sides to see each others points, come to some sort of agreement, and stop bickering, and all the while Ive got someone who keeps throwing fuel on the fire, and on top of that, its a moderator.

 

I see the OP's point. He made an honest mistake... I just don't think it's very funny to blow smoke into somebodies window... I think it's absolutely disrespectful. Don't see anything wrong with that...

As far as your statement... You go from stating that any teenager who say's his truck pours coal is something he should be castrated for and then you state that this story does not deserve the same reaction... Uh... He said this in his first post "AT WHICH POINT I REALIZE I FILLED HIS ENTIRE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WITH THICK BLACK DIESEL SOOT, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO LAUGH MY *** OFF ALL THE WAY TO THE NEXT EXIT A MILE DOWN THE HIGHWAY!"... Then you say you completely agree with Hossers statement in which he said "and the guy that got smoked out is still breathing. I don’t see what all the fuss is about really. It’s not a big deal, and so what if you blew a little smoke in some guys window. I bet your truck does not smoke like some POS bound to doom all us diesel lovers."

So lets recap really quick... You and hosser are cool with smoking out people as long as it's funny to you guys and they are still breathing... but teenagers should be castrated when they brag about their trucks smoking a lot...

My question is where do we draw the line for smoke? Hosser believes there is a "POS bound to doom all us diesel lovers" but how do we determine that if in the exact same post we say its ok to smoke out other drivers for absolutely no reason? Because they drive an import vehicle? Is that a good reason? We already have seen the effects of smoke and the stance that the government has taken on it... Check out every new truck and you will see the changes being made.

Just curious where the line is drawn... I am a member just like you and I have not attacked anybody in this thread... Merely discussing my thoughts on smoking people out, and I believe it's completely inappropriate... You guys can do whatever you want, it isn't going to change the way I wake up and put my pants on in the morning, but it's wrong to intentionally smoke somebody's car out for no reason but to get a good giggle.

 

So what is the issue here? You believe that the OP made an honest mistake; I dont think he believes randomly smokin someone out is funny, and I certainly dont either. I dont randomly smoke out people, and I dont think he does either. I believe in the OP's case, this was a one time occurrence, and accidental, so that is why I think all of you are completely overreacting.

Matt (cumminsF150), when you are in your personal truck, do you go around smoking people out?

 

I was on the way to the mall with my wife' and daughters today when a little red ricer Honda zipped out in front of us and BLEW SMOKE! No shyt. And not because it was burning oil or anything, just one big puff of black smoke as he cut in front of us. The idiot obviously has rigged up something to dump into the exhaust with a switch or some such nonsense.

Apparently the stupidity is catching on with those so inclined, diesel or not.

 

At first the thought of that was humorous, but now its just saddening. Diesel is the new ricer

 

If someone were to do that in my truck i would have them fired and castrated.

My dad had taken his truck in for a recall work well the dealership he took it to in town had to send it to another dealership, well when dad dropped it off he wrote down the mileage and reset the trip odometer.

A few days later he recieved a phone call from one of his friends asking if i had been driving the truck cause there was some young kid running it around blowing smoke everywhere and on everything, well i didnt have my license then so dad knew it wasnt me. So my dad called the dealership and they said they only let the older service techs drive it and so my dad hung up and the next day he got a few more calls from his friends saying some young kid was running it all over hell reaming on it blowing smoke everywhere.

So finally my dad went to the dealership where the truck was at checked the mileage from when he wrote it down and it had 300-500 miles on it that it shouldnt have the dealer it was supposed to go to is only 40 miles from the dealership dad dropped it off at.

Then dad told them about all the people saying some kid was driving it and they kept denying it and dad even had one of his friends get behind the truck and write down the tag number and the description of the guy and they still denied it so dad called the district manager or whatever it was told them about what happend and that dodge dealership lost all dealer incentives and some other stuff i cant remember at the moment for a year.

And that kid was fired.

Thats why only a very select few people EVER touch my truck.

 

NO, MY TRUCK DOSENT SMOKE AT ALL, AND THE EXHAUST DOSENT EXIT ON THE SIDE ANY WAY, AND TO OZZKING "If someone were to do that in my truck i would have them fired and castrated." TO APPLY THAT THEORY TO THIS CASE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO CASTRATE YOURSELF AND ANYONE WHO EVER DROVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT RUNS SO RICH THAT IT ALWAYS BLOWS SMOKE! I DONT THINK ANY TRUCK SHOULD RUN LIKE THAT, IT LOOKS RIDICULOUS AND MAKES PEOPLE HATE TRUCKS, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE I IMAGINED WHAT A DOUCHEBAG THE OWNER MUST LOOK LIKE DRIVING AROUND DOING THAT ALL THE TIME. THE MOST RIDICULOUS PART OF THIS WHOLE THREAD IS THAT EVERYONE IS APPALLED THAT I HELD THE BRAKE AND BLIPPED THE THROTTLE IN A TRUCK THAT IS TURNNED UP WITH A GIANT TURBO AND F-ING METHANOL INJECTION THAT CAME IN WITH AN EXPLODED GEAR CARRIER AND SHATTERED AXLE SHAFT BECAUSE THE OWNER USES IT TO PULL BULLDOZERS UP 20 % GRADES, AS IF I BRUTALLY ABUSED THE DAMN THING!

EVERY BODY WITH AN AUTO TRANSMISSION, GO GET IN YOU TRUCK, PUT IT IN DRIVE, LIGHTLY HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND THEN BARELY TAP THE ACCELERATOR FOR ABOUT HALF A SECOND, DID THE CRANK SHAFT FALL OUT?

I AM PRETTY SURE THE OWNER OF SAID VEHICLE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY AS HELL, YOU DONT TUNE YOUR TRUCK TO RUN LIKE THAT IF YOU ARE CONCERNED WITH WHAT FELLOW MOTORISTS THINK OF YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT, LET ALONE INSTALL A CHROME PAIR OF ********* AND A "MIND IF I SMOKE?" BUMPER STICKER.
