21 Rolling Coal Images That Make The Environment Shed a Tear

For those of you unfamiliar, the practice of "rolling coal" is when you take a diesel engine and modify it to prevent it from burning cleanly, emitting a visible black cloud of pollution. Some do it for fun, some do it to openly protest the environmentalist movement, but either way it's definitely gross to drive next to someone 'rolling coal.' It can cost anywhere between a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars too, so it's not cheap. ALSO it is highly illegal due to emissions laws, so don't do this at home.

Just Getting Started

You can start to see what this phenomenon is. Big truck? Check. Lifted? Check. Huge exhaust pipe? Check. Black smoke? Definitely.

Farm Road

It’s such a nice view off into the distance, except for this giant black cloud in the way.

Three At a Tie

The guy on the right is reeeally revving it up for some thick, view obstructing smoke.

Crowd Pleaser

People will watch this happen at car and truck shows too. I guess this kind of thing is celebrated somewhere.

Acceleration

You can do this while moving of course. What did this nice road do to deserve a huge cloud of smoke?

Truck Show

These trucks are at some sort of show, maybe truck racing even, showing off their mods, with gigantic double exhaust pipes rolling coal hard.

Trucking Coal

Trucks just take rolling coal to the next level. It’s so much smoke!

Some More Trucks…

This has to be truck drag racing or something, they even have the light tower and a guy on a mic standing in front.

Smaller Trucks Too

Double exhaust stacks are not limited to the big rigs.

Can’t See the View Still

Don’t Pass

I wouldn’t want to pass this guy on the highway, driving through his huge cloud of smoke? No thanks.

Posing

I guess it’s cool too to pose with your pet cloud of smoke?

But why?

Shoving your face in a cloud of black smoke might say something about the people who mod their cars to do this. Doesn’t look good…

Why Would You Do This?

There must be some crazy exfoliating, anti-acne properties to this for him to willingly submit himself to this kind of thing.

Small Cars Too

This little guy is trying to get his coal rolling. It’s almost there.

There It Is

Yep, even little diesel cars can do it. That guy blowing smoke in an old diesel junker might be doing it on accident, but this guy sure isn’t.

Double Barrel

If you put in enough work you can even mod a double exhaust coal rolling audi.

The Sky Is Full of Coal

The atmosphere in this picture looks like it’s had it’s fair share of coal rolled into it.

Jerk

This guy is rolling coal through the parking lot to spray all the cars with his smoke.

Anti-Prius

And this guy is clearly trying to roll all over this Prius.

Cyclist Hate

From a video bouncing around the internet, this guy rolled coal directly into the path of a group of bikers on this mountainside road.
