x2.
the blowin smoke in the face was sweet. who knew it would turn your face that black on just the start up. all that soot and the kid is still alive. one person dies and there is one of the new "clean" diesels running and it was that diesel that killed the person. not the 50 years of smoking, working in mines, running heavy equipment

my grandpa used to run around ticketing the trucker for excessive smoke in southern ca as he worked for the city and after he retired her did some research and learned he was ticketing the wrong people as the diesel soot is pretty much harmless.. "I would rather suck the tailpipe of a diesel than that of a honda" the tiny particulate is what the cars make now and we can't filter, but larger stuff our bodies take care of. the air may look good but whats killing us we can't see.. and yes CA sucks as the smoke testing of diesels is supposed to start soon but it's for trucks under 5k so my guess is they are searching for the 1/2 ton diesels that have been converted to gas so they don't have to smog them...

We have a few of them tree huggers here in this town and they annoy the **** out of me. I had one guy who was drivin his Prius smokin a cigrette and drinking a starbucks chase me to my house back when i still had my 2006 cummins and tell me that my truck was the sole cause of the fuel prices going higher and that it polluted the earth with noise pollution and all the"putrid smoke" coming out of the exhaust. The next time i saw him I cranked my Edge and Bully Dogg and filled his car full of smoke. Again he followed me to my house and started yellin at me and i was like "I was smokin, just like you" He looked down at his cigrette and walked away. I was like "thats right point made biotch" tree huggin hippied **** me off so i smoke them out.

And the Californians (no offence to the guys on this site I'm talkin about the Prius driving starbucks sipping tree huggers) they are the worst with there 'clean energy' bs and they are have the worst polluted cities in the US and they want everyone else but themselves to be held to a higher standard.

A friend of mine posted this on another site, I thought it appropriate. JMTC


LMAO!

I LOVE to talk *poop* about the Prius here at work...

Seems to be everyones dream car!

They tell me how it gets such good MPG... And how THEY are doing their part to save the blah blah blah....

So then I ask.. Hey, before you paid 30k for that thing... Did you ask about how long the battery lasts?

Typical answer... Well, the salesman said it would last for the life of the waranty.

...

...





Then I ask... Did you ask how much a new one is?

They say no.

It's about 3k. There are 3 of them.

About this time... They start to call BS...

I say wait! It gets better!!

Let me guess... They told you that when you get your new batteries, they "Recycle" the old ones right? LMAO!

Guess what... NO! They can't be recycled...


So, they call and ask... Guess what... Cost is right on... And they do say they get "Recycled"... But when they ask what hey do with them... The answer is... Some people come and pick them up... And they "take care of it".


About this time... They get defensive... Start telling me how I am hurting the blah blah blah by driving a "HUGE TRUCK" (I think thats how they put it).

I say yeah... But it polutes less, costs less, and when you run in to me, I don't die.

That normally is the end of the conversation.
