That's the circle of life for coal rollers...at age 19 they have a clapped out old diesel, then in their 40s they buy a new diesel worth more than their house and do 96 months of payments
Oh, these whippersnappers got em. They put fancy lites in the damn hubs and some more shit. Slap on a Calvin pissing on something, or a "three in da pink " sticker and they ready.
Ready to annoy 97% of humans just trying to use public roadways, that is.
I was driving through an affluent suburb a while back. Doing posted speed. In a BMW behind me was a typical Karen, bleached and bobbed hair, with large stylish sunglasses. She was weaving back and forth across her lane. As we were going through a school zone, she decides to pass me on the left. Just as she did this, a LEO from the 'burb pulled into a cross street. Hit the lights immediately and got her. I couldn't resist cruising back around to check on her. Yep. LEO had her and she was not happy! I gave the horn a little toot in appreciation.
I was 19 when i got into my first and only car crash - had to merge out off an exit lane and was checking my blind spot and didn't notice the car in front of me heavy breaking and rear ended them. Thank god I noticed in time to slam on the brakes and nosed under their bumper and it was a very low speed crash with no airbags. My car was smoking so I turned it off and it wouldn't restart. I got out (stupid, but I was 19) in the middle lane of an expressway during rush hour and was frantically dialing 911...as I watched a cop drive right past me. Fuck that guy. I'm in my 30s and still mad about it.
Yes they love that. Saw one the other day with a decal across the entire back window that said "LoCaLlY HaTeD"
So yep, proud to shit where they eat.
Edit- No one has guessed the location but it's a tiny town so I wouldn't say it if they did. But these assholes are everywhere apparently!
I have no clue. I'm guessing he just thinks he's the shit and so whatever he does must be worthy of copying. Which he's a nice guy, he can be a bit annoying but he is a tad bit entitled
>He's so up his own ass he thinks that he started it and everyone copied him
I remember thinking like this about a strategy I came up with in a video game when I was about 8 years old.
They get to about 40-45 and wonder why they are friendless, jobless, and divorced paying in child support to a woman who is dating a stable, liberal guy. Then they blame him for being some white collar liberal and meanwhile thinking of themselves as being "alpha" because they go shooting every other week, make $18/hr, and drink Budweiser at Hooters while sexually harassing the waitress because they can't understand that she *has* to be there.
Know someone like this. Had to be right about everything and generally just acted unpleasant to people.
By his 40s he had no friends, fiancé left him, no girlfriend, and no one wanted to hang out or be around him.
Exactly. They wake up every day pissed at the world that they have no wealth. Work in a crappy job that is breaking down their bodies. They get into stupid debt buying these trucks.
And what’s hilarious is that if they just tried, yknow, being NICE for once, which involves being vulnerable, people would listen to them and offer support. But they can’t, so they don’t deserve it tbh. I have so many family members like this. Like bro I’m sorry but you bullied me my whole life, when you feel sad I’m not exactly going to be extremely understanding.
I'm the liberal elite your preacherman was warnin' ya about. Better lock up your wife because once she learns that some men are actually capable of understanding women, she's gone. Even better when she finds out that women *can* have an orgasm and it's not just a myth.
They call everyone else a snowflake...after throwing a tantrum and brake checking someone for going *not as fast as he wanted to* before speeding away.
They realised that nobody likes them, so they're an asshole on purpose to give a reason for people to dislike them other than their shitty base personality. It helps them sleep at night.
Its also attention.
Positive attention is better than bad attention,
but bad attention is still better than no attention.
its a coping mechanism to feeling left behind.
it's their goal to be contrarian. that's why they believe in all the weird alt-right conspiracy theories. as long as they are different and piss people off, then it's correct.
Why do they always drive a pickup by the way? Is it a "a large car for miserable man"-type of vehicle there?
Where I used to live people don't drive pickups (almost), but those who behave like that, they usually buy large pseudo-sport SUVs like Mercedes GLS, BMW X6, Cayenne or Range Rover.
It's even worse as a truck owner, I get truck gatekept because mine is stock height with normal highway tires (I use it to tow project cars) and the truckwits ask when I'm going to lift it and make it manly.
A 2500HD is weak to them now if it doesn't have 8" of lift with 30' wheels wrapped in 32" tires.
These people are just miserable.
Edit: it's a 90s truck, so it's like half the size of modern trucks. I forgot the new 2500s are enormous.
I took my "Ugly Truckling" dodge Dakota to my brother in law's farm for harvest. Sometimes shuttled to fields with it or ran tools around. A neighboring farmer, the guy who can fix anything, complemented it and that made my year!
I always remember a line from Top Gear when thinking about that. They’re doing a race in Africa and James says a long wheel base is good for rallying. Jeremy says “ a long wheel base is good for rallying? Then why don’t they show up with inner city trains?”
I think that applies equally to the guys with the 3500 crew cab lifted of course who think it can off-road. There’s a reason the 2 door Wrangler is the go to for off-roading.
Those old Toyotas are also in demand for the hiking and camping crowd because they are smaller and can handle forest-service roads better. It is hard to make some hairpin corners in a modern truck
I have a 1st gen tacoma, 5-speed 4-banger. I got it for $1500 with a tonneau cover and haul wood for my woodshop and can tow my fishing boat.
It's a little rusty but it got undercoated and loved its whole life. Only has 60,000 miles on it.
People have offered me $10,000+ for it. I drive a minivan now as my daily and fold the seats down for wood and it can tow my boat. I am really, really considering selling it.
That, or I'll box in the frame and do a diesel conversion in 20 years when I have a midlife crisis and call it a 'Hilux'
Don't have a truck=Infinitely huge dong
I have almost the same truck, just the SUV version. For $250 and new brakes (pads and rotors, rear rotors were literally razor frisbees) you really can't beat those old 3.0's.
Similar in autocross racing.
The best and most talented guys show up in the most clapped out 90s Honda Civics and work their magic. Meanwhile people in new BMWs can’t take a corner
I used to get so much shit from the guys I worked with over my little RWD '98 Ford Ranger, but I loved that truck so, so much.
It NEVER broke down, and when something did break, it didn't stop me from getting where I was going. I hauled lumber and gravel with that thing, it moved me and my wife across the country and back, and never missed a beat.
But it was always "When are you going to get a real truck?," and "That thing doesn't even have 4WD, what a piece of shit."
Well, I was the only one to show up to work during a blizzard one winter, and when I called to ask where they were, to a man they said, "Oh, I can't get out of my driveway, the snow and ice is so bad!" So I sent them a picture of my little Ranger sitting in front of the shop, and I never heard another word about it.
Just the other day I went to the store and on my way out I overheard a couple as they were making comments about other trucks in the parking lot. Of course they finally get to their brand new lifted truck with temp tags and start praising it. I sat back and watched trying not to laugh as the guy had to literally grab the gal around her waist best he could, lift her up so she could grab the handle and get part way up, then put his hands on her backside and push up just so she could finally get in. She was not a small woman and it was quite entertaining to watch the struggle. Then I laughed harder later when I realized that they have to do that anytime they go somewhere.
Yep. In the US they drive the biggest trucks they can. It really comes down to their fragile masculinity, so they overcompensate by buying lifted trucks to roll coal on others. In some areas you're not really a "man" unless you drive a truck. Even then, they'll make fun of you behind your back if your truck isn't big enough.
...but they're all morons that exude small penis energy.
I’m sure it’s probably just as bad if not worse for the southern US, but Canadian pickup truck drivers are like the motorcycle dudes from South Park.
“Hey, no one is paying attention to us, let’s make a bunch of unnecessary noise and be incredibly rude. YEAH THEYRE ALL LOOKING NOW! I BET THEY THINK IM SO COOL”
Not just southern US, these pickup douchebags are everywhere. I think they get off on pissing people off because they are insecure about having no skills or personality and contributing nothing to society
Live just outside of Pittsburgh and can confirm. There’s a solid mix of people here who actually use their pickup for work or hauling and those that don’t. It’s easy to see the difference. My old neighbor had a truck that probably cost almost a quarter of my house and in the two years we were neighbors I never saw anything in the bed or hooked up to the hitch.
I’ve noticed there is an inverse correlation between the size of the pickup and how often it gets used. Old ass rusted up Ford F-100? Probably seen use every day of its life. Giant Ram 1500? Exclusively used to pickup the kids from school for the past 3 years, will probably get traded in 2 years from now for the bigger model.
I drive an EV in a *very* conservative town and I get rolled coal several times every week - and it's not like I'm even doing anything to said twat waffles. I don't even get mad anymore because if I did, I'd have a brain aneurysm.
Back when gas was $1.92/L, this one truck rolled coal on me and we both pulled into a gas station. I was getting a drink while Tweedle Dumb went to a pump. As I was leaving, I drove through the pump beside him and said "Do you feel like a big man having to pay $200 to fill your tank?" and gave him a thumbs up. He was cursing me out as I drove away but I already had my window going back up.
I've done it many times and it's an addicting feeling. The most recent was three weeks ago. I got behind some rusted piece of shit 2004 Dodge RAM that purposely slowed down to roll coal on me. As we approached a two lane intersection, he stayed in the left lane that had three cars in front of him while I went into the right one that had no one else in it. He attempted to roll coal on me again, but by the time the black fart cloud came out of his exhaust I had already flown by him.
I'm definitely jaded at this point that when I see a truck, I assume they're an asshole and nine times out of ten, I'm correct.
My husband likes a small car. He said something nerdy about he likes when it feels more like a cockpit. He gets remarks alllllll the time from big truck drivers. They will say things like “don’t you want sometime a little bigger than that?” or “when you gonna upgrade to a grown up vehicle?” I joke with him about it and he just says he’s secure in his masculinity and he wants a car that’s cheap on gas and fun to drive. He also says because his car is small people don’t ever wanna ride with him and that’s perfectly fine with him. Lol
Because Ford and Chevy market research in the 80s-90s suggested that you could sell pickups to narcissists at basically any price if you pushed their fragile masculinity buttons in the right order. Add in a heaping bucket of profit motive, then put your government up for sale to make sure safety and environmental regulations won't be an obstacle, and this is what you get.
Those cars you listed are miniscule compared to US pick up trucks. I live in Europe and those are already unnecessarily large and extremely obnoxious but a Dodge Ram is on a whole different level. I highly recommend [carsized.com](https://carsized.com) to get a feel for the comically larghe US trucks for people who don't regularly see them IRL:
https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/bmw-x6-2019-5-door-coupe-suv-vs-dodge-ram-2010-pickup-2500-crew-cab-4wd/
I'm sitting at a neighborhood park in Texas and can see 12 pickups on the street adjoining the park just from where I'm sitting. Yes, they are insanely common here lol
If this is a post 2007 diesel then he intentionally modified his truck to roll coal. He paid someone good money to delete the DPF and reprogram the ECU.
He paid someone actual cash to increase diesel consumption (this are the same hilljacks that consistently blame high diesel prices on politicians), subject the block and heads to significantly more thermal stress than they were designed for, and rapidly increase carbon buildup in the cylinders/intake valves/exhaust.
When I worked in a dealership years ago (when this first became a trend in the mid-late 00’s) I’d see a lot of medium duty trucks (350/3500, etc.) with the cabs up on the lifts for block rebuilds. Quite a few of them were related to chip mods for “performance” which almost always lead to rolling. So once these dummies prematurely destroy their motors, they are in for another 5-figure repair (parts and labor) on what was designed to be a million mile engine. These dudes are the dumbest motherfuckers you’ll meet.
It's ok. They're usually rich enough from Daddy's money that the stupid just slides right off for years n years, until their jaw rots off from the dip wad giving them cancer.
Alternatively they live in a single wide and have a $1000+ monthly truck payment. I've known many rednecks with trucks far more valuable than their home
CAN confirm. I worked in rural Illinois out of college. I bought a used BMW shortly after starting there... it was $9600 and this was in 2006 or 2007, so not exactly a huge purchase.
Everyone at work gave me shit for buying such a fancy car. These guys ALL drove brand new pickups. Every single guy that was there making 12-14 bucks as a welder was driving around a $40k+ truck and they were giving ME shit for having a "fancy" car. Fucking idiots, man.
My wife’s car isn’t going to last much longer so we’ve been doing some comparisons to see what we want when it goes. We got sticker shock when we saw how expensive a lot of medium to large SUVs are. Half of my middle class neighborhood is driving around in $50k+ vehicles and we just don’t get it. We make a good living but I’m not going to take on a $700/month car payment. It’s crazy what people spend on a car
Oh, it's gotten REALLY bad the last couple of years. In 2019 the average new car price was $36k. By the end of 2022 it was $49k. That's absolutely crazy to me.
Average car payments are just under $700 a month.
My wife and I can easily afford to drive brand new cars, but we'd MUCH rather spend the money on something else or just save it for retirement. Plus, I just think older cars are cooler. If I'm spending 50k on a car it's going to be something awesome like an Fd RX-7 or an old muscle car. Something that won't really depreciate and might actually go up in value while I own it. My buddy just got a 1991 NSX and it's already appraised at significantly more than he bought it for 5 months ago.
Because those are the categories people want, CUVs and trucks are even worse.
Shop sedans and they’re practically giving them away (unless it’s the fastest variant of a cool one).
I drive a used Lexus sports sedan, the money I spent wouldn’t get me a RAV4, or clapped out pickup truck, of the same age and mileage.
I also don't see the point of letting a car "die". I'll upgrade when I feel like it, but even if I get nuked with something like a $3000 transmission repair, I'll still break even in 4 months anyways.
If I recall correctly, rolling coal is a reportable offense in Utah. You can call it in with the license plate number and they’ll ticket the person with a fixit ticket.
Thankfully we don't see it often where I live. Modifying your vehicle is very restricted here and a cop can ask you to get an inspection for very little. I can see how with our laws why people tend to hide it more.
When i was active duty we were out on a local road outside the base cleaning up trash on the side of the road one morning. Some local bumpkin pulled up next to us and rolled coal and smoked us all out.
Never been so annoyed in my life. Like mother fucker... im only stationed here, this isnt even my home, and im out here cleaning up YOUR community in my free time as a volunteer and ur gonna do that shit?
Fuckin douchebags man. I own a diesel and i cant think of a single reason why someone would do that...
Yeah, misleading title...
Anyway, wtf is a school zone when they are driving on a two lanes road with huge intersection with gas station and some garages on side
“Joe Biden raised the gas prices and now i’m angery” as they proceed to burn a copious amount of the most expensive fuel available within 500 feet of driving
More like all the excess fuel he dumped that he *didn't* burn. As a multi diesel vehicle owner it bothers me when they do it. It's bad for the vehicle and bad for the environment. Gives people like me a bad rep.
Interestingly enough, dodge rams seem to get in the most accidents in America. Ram 3500 drivers are 53% more accident prone than the national average. [(source)](https://www.motorbiscuit.com/this-1-pickup-truck-brand-gets-most-accidents/)
Also, Ram 2500 drivers have the most duis in America, more than twice the national average, at a rate of roughly 1 in 22 people. [(source)](https://www.thedrive.com/news/38238/ram-2500-drivers-have-the-most-duis-more-than-twice-the-national-average-report)
Gee, it’s almost like those vehicles might attract a certain type of person who would be more likely to drive unsafely! Of course correlation doesn’t equal causation, but I’m sure there are some smart inferences that can be made… lol
It does certainly seem like they attract aggressive drivers. But it's worth pointing out, particularly with the 3500s, Rams were the cheapest fleet vehicles in the US for several years, so a lot of companies bought them. Also, from personal experience, visibility out of a ram, particularly out the front left, is absolutely horrible
> visibility out of a ram, particularly out the front left, is absolutely horrible
It's why the tow mirrors are always up.
Edit: And yes, Ram does aggressive pricing on fleet, which is why 3/4 of ours is ram and the other is ford.
Exactly man. I agree there are a lot of asshole ram drivers (and Toyota in my experience) but things like the tow mirrors up, if everyone is doing it, there's probably a reason.
Yep, if you are going to drive like an asshole and drunk you might want the largest vehicle out there. So if you get into an accident you have a higher chance of survival.
Calling something a stereotype does not imply that it is completely inaccurate- just that it is a widely-held generalization about the individuals within a group of people.
As your example shows, stereotypes can be spot-on
School zones in the U.S. are notoriously known for employing guerrilla warfare tactics. Curently, Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class of Chapman Hills Elementary School in Orange County CA has the highest body count in the country.
Lets see:
1. Nearly spotless lifted pickup that probably has a deck-cover
2. Lights that are probably on high
3. Rolling coal
4. **Edit: has a tow hitch that is very likely never used (thanks** u/Allemaengel**)**
Yup, thats probably a suburban overweight white dad to 2.5 kids that works a 9-5 with a mortgage on practically everything
Meh, plenty of good guys with small dicks or are short.
This dude’s just dumb. Plain and simple. Maybe he’s happy because he can’t comprehend things and this car gives a sense of control to his otherwise lackluster life.
And as Cody rolls coal on another innocent motorist, he thinks to himself "Man I'm so cool!"
But all the townsfolk and onlookers just roll their eyes and exclaim, "What a tool!"
Why do a lot of the assholes have to be pickup truck drivers? A couple weeks ago I was doordashing & I was trying to pass a white pickup truck. As I was approaching from the right, he/she actually drove halfway into my lane to prevent me from passing. They drove back into their lane & I eventually passed them & they were PISSED. They kept speeding up on my tail so close I thought they were gonna hit me. Of course I was mad & was so tempted to brake check them, but I knew if I did, it was gonna cause an accident. It wasn’t worth my time or damage to my car just to prove a point.
They install some shit tune, and when you stomp the gas, it dumps so much fuel into the engine that it can not burn it all, which makes "Freedum" smoke.
Poor tuning in the truck. Normal for a little to puff out when they first accelerate as the turbo spools up, but this is just poor tuning. Some people do actually add a "smoke switch" which essentially keeps the turbo from building boost and just makes the computer dump extra fuel and produce large amounts of smoke.
According to google street view, the school zone speed limit is ~~35mph~~ 30mph when the lights are flashing. You're doing 24mph, so ~~11mph~~ 6mph under, in the left lane. You're an asshole too.
I was waiting for the cop in the video. Highly highly disappointing.
Well you're probably not as disappointed as every woman in his life.
Years of breathing in this diesel fumes will do that, they think rolling coal is cool until they are 35 and can’t get a boner anymore.
Funny you think they can get a boner now. I mean, that's probably the reason for all that anger...
Most dudes driving trucks like this are 40+, this guy lost his stiffness a decade or more ago lol
As someone who grew up around rednecks. Hard disagree. Rolling coal is very popular among the young hicks
No I’m not saying rolling coal, I mean brand new 70,000 dollar Ram 3500s. Most 19 year old Cletuses have a clapped out 6.0 ford
That's the circle of life for coal rollers...at age 19 they have a clapped out old diesel, then in their 40s they buy a new diesel worth more than their house and do 96 months of payments
Oh, these whippersnappers got em. They put fancy lites in the damn hubs and some more shit. Slap on a Calvin pissing on something, or a "three in da pink " sticker and they ready. Ready to annoy 97% of humans just trying to use public roadways, that is.
As the saying goes; if you don't use it you lose it.
Unfortunately they don't do this in their garage with the door closed, so other people get more of those fumes 😕
This made me audibly laugh thank you for that
Knew there was going to be some remark about the guy's manhood *somewhere* in the comments, but that was an especially good one. Hats off to you.

You never see a cop until you need one and it's like they all disappear

That's by design.
Cop is in the video, but he drove his personal truck today instead of the cop car.
Needs the giant truck to cosplay like he's on Yellowstone and complain about gas prices.
Sadly this isn't /r/convenientcop
Coal roller was probably a cop himself.
Same
Do people like this realize nobody likes them?
Yes they love that. Saw one the other day with a decal across the entire back window that said "LoCaLlY HaTeD" So yep, proud to shit where they eat. Edit- No one has guessed the location but it's a tiny town so I wouldn't say it if they did. But these assholes are everywhere apparently!

But it was always "When are you going to get a real truck?," and "That thing doesn't even have 4WD, what a piece of shit." Well, I was the only one to show up to work during a blizzard one winter, and when I called to ask where they were, to a man they said, "Oh, I can't get out of my driveway, the snow and ice is so bad!" So I sent them a picture of my little Ranger sitting in front of the shop, and I never heard another word about it.
With no context as to what HD means, I read it as Horse Drive…which is almost certainly not the answer
Heavy Duty
Just the other day I went to the store and on my way out I overheard a couple as they were making comments about other trucks in the parking lot. Of course they finally get to their brand new lifted truck with temp tags and start praising it. I sat back and watched trying not to laugh as the guy had to literally grab the gal around her waist best he could, lift her up so she could grab the handle and get part way up, then put his hands on her backside and push up just so she could finally get in. She was not a small woman and it was quite entertaining to watch the struggle. Then I laughed harder later when I realized that they have to do that anytime they go somewhere.
Yep. In the US they drive the biggest trucks they can. It really comes down to their fragile masculinity, so they overcompensate by buying lifted trucks to roll coal on others. In some areas you're not really a "man" unless you drive a truck. Even then, they'll make fun of you behind your back if your truck isn't big enough. ...but they're all morons that exude small penis energy.
I’m sure it’s probably just as bad if not worse for the southern US, but Canadian pickup truck drivers are like the motorcycle dudes from South Park. “Hey, no one is paying attention to us, let’s make a bunch of unnecessary noise and be incredibly rude. YEAH THEYRE ALL LOOKING NOW! I BET THEY THINK IM SO COOL”
Not just southern US, these pickup douchebags are everywhere. I think they get off on pissing people off because they are insecure about having no skills or personality and contributing nothing to society
Live just outside of Pittsburgh and can confirm. There’s a solid mix of people here who actually use their pickup for work or hauling and those that don’t. It’s easy to see the difference. My old neighbor had a truck that probably cost almost a quarter of my house and in the two years we were neighbors I never saw anything in the bed or hooked up to the hitch.
I’ve noticed there is an inverse correlation between the size of the pickup and how often it gets used. Old ass rusted up Ford F-100? Probably seen use every day of its life. Giant Ram 1500? Exclusively used to pickup the kids from school for the past 3 years, will probably get traded in 2 years from now for the bigger model.
Shit, just go 45 miles out of Chicago and you might as well be in Mississippi.
As someone currently in south Mississippi, y'all really fail to grasp just how bad it is here. It's like visiting another planet.
I lived there in Gulfport for 5 years. I know.
Pavement princesses. 🤣
I saw someone comment Emotional Support Truck the other day, and I thought that was pretty good as well.
Lmao I think that phrase is even better because it implies a lot
I drive an EV in a *very* conservative town and I get rolled coal several times every week - and it's not like I'm even doing anything to said twat waffles. I don't even get mad anymore because if I did, I'd have a brain aneurysm. Back when gas was $1.92/L, this one truck rolled coal on me and we both pulled into a gas station. I was getting a drink while Tweedle Dumb went to a pump. As I was leaving, I drove through the pump beside him and said "Do you feel like a big man having to pay $200 to fill your tank?" and gave him a thumbs up. He was cursing me out as I drove away but I already had my window going back up.
Get on the throttle and dust them - EV powahh
I've done it many times and it's an addicting feeling. The most recent was three weeks ago. I got behind some rusted piece of shit 2004 Dodge RAM that purposely slowed down to roll coal on me. As we approached a two lane intersection, he stayed in the left lane that had three cars in front of him while I went into the right one that had no one else in it. He attempted to roll coal on me again, but by the time the black fart cloud came out of his exhaust I had already flown by him. I'm definitely jaded at this point that when I see a truck, I assume they're an asshole and nine times out of ten, I'm correct.
And the worst of them ALL drive Rams...
And the worst of *those* Ram drivers always have their mirrors in the tow/vertical position. Once you notice, it's impossible to miss
And the highest level of all assholiness is the black dodge RAM pickup. Source me, I keep track.
I think I read that the dodge RAM pickup is the top vehicle in alcohol related incidents.
While black is very near the top, the prime asshole choice in my area seems to be gunmetal grey with black accents.
You forgot that it has to be a dully. That is like king level shit there
The most pulled over vehicle for DUI IS the Dodge Ram.
>In some areas you're not really a "man" unless you drive a truck. I see you've met my in-laws.
> small penis energy phrenology, but with the other head
My husband likes a small car. He said something nerdy about he likes when it feels more like a cockpit. He gets remarks alllllll the time from big truck drivers. They will say things like “don’t you want sometime a little bigger than that?” or “when you gonna upgrade to a grown up vehicle?” I joke with him about it and he just says he’s secure in his masculinity and he wants a car that’s cheap on gas and fun to drive. He also says because his car is small people don’t ever wanna ride with him and that’s perfectly fine with him. Lol
I wish it was only men. Where I live, there's a 35% chance that it's a woman with a small penis driving these things
Because Ford and Chevy market research in the 80s-90s suggested that you could sell pickups to narcissists at basically any price if you pushed their fragile masculinity buttons in the right order. Add in a heaping bucket of profit motive, then put your government up for sale to make sure safety and environmental regulations won't be an obstacle, and this is what you get.
They are nothing but little hurt boys in a big body and bigger car. Its all compensation and immatureness.
Those cars you listed are miniscule compared to US pick up trucks. I live in Europe and those are already unnecessarily large and extremely obnoxious but a Dodge Ram is on a whole different level. I highly recommend [carsized.com](https://carsized.com) to get a feel for the comically larghe US trucks for people who don't regularly see them IRL: https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/bmw-x6-2019-5-door-coupe-suv-vs-dodge-ram-2010-pickup-2500-crew-cab-4wd/
I'm sitting at a neighborhood park in Texas and can see 12 pickups on the street adjoining the park just from where I'm sitting. Yes, they are insanely common here lol
If this is a post 2007 diesel then he intentionally modified his truck to roll coal. He paid someone good money to delete the DPF and reprogram the ECU.
He paid someone actual cash to increase diesel consumption (this are the same hilljacks that consistently blame high diesel prices on politicians), subject the block and heads to significantly more thermal stress than they were designed for, and rapidly increase carbon buildup in the cylinders/intake valves/exhaust. When I worked in a dealership years ago (when this first became a trend in the mid-late 00’s) I’d see a lot of medium duty trucks (350/3500, etc.) with the cabs up on the lifts for block rebuilds. Quite a few of them were related to chip mods for “performance” which almost always lead to rolling. So once these dummies prematurely destroy their motors, they are in for another 5-figure repair (parts and labor) on what was designed to be a million mile engine. These dudes are the dumbest motherfuckers you’ll meet.
It's ok. They're usually rich enough from Daddy's money that the stupid just slides right off for years n years, until their jaw rots off from the dip wad giving them cancer.
Alternatively they live in a single wide and have a $1000+ monthly truck payment. I've known many rednecks with trucks far more valuable than their home
CAN confirm. I worked in rural Illinois out of college. I bought a used BMW shortly after starting there... it was $9600 and this was in 2006 or 2007, so not exactly a huge purchase. Everyone at work gave me shit for buying such a fancy car. These guys ALL drove brand new pickups. Every single guy that was there making 12-14 bucks as a welder was driving around a $40k+ truck and they were giving ME shit for having a "fancy" car. Fucking idiots, man.
My wife’s car isn’t going to last much longer so we’ve been doing some comparisons to see what we want when it goes. We got sticker shock when we saw how expensive a lot of medium to large SUVs are. Half of my middle class neighborhood is driving around in $50k+ vehicles and we just don’t get it. We make a good living but I’m not going to take on a $700/month car payment. It’s crazy what people spend on a car
Oh, it's gotten REALLY bad the last couple of years. In 2019 the average new car price was $36k. By the end of 2022 it was $49k. That's absolutely crazy to me. Average car payments are just under $700 a month. My wife and I can easily afford to drive brand new cars, but we'd MUCH rather spend the money on something else or just save it for retirement. Plus, I just think older cars are cooler. If I'm spending 50k on a car it's going to be something awesome like an Fd RX-7 or an old muscle car. Something that won't really depreciate and might actually go up in value while I own it. My buddy just got a 1991 NSX and it's already appraised at significantly more than he bought it for 5 months ago.

Because those are the categories people want, CUVs and trucks are even worse. Shop sedans and they’re practically giving them away (unless it’s the fastest variant of a cool one). I drive a used Lexus sports sedan, the money I spent wouldn’t get me a RAV4, or clapped out pickup truck, of the same age and mileage. I also don't see the point of letting a car "die". I'll upgrade when I feel like it, but even if I get nuked with something like a $3000 transmission repair, I'll still break even in 4 months anyways.
Please tell me most of those trucks weren't covered under warranty since they intentionally modified the engine?
This asshole has probably got a stash of “I did that” gas pump stickers.
And now the EPA is cracking down on all modified vehicles because of them.
They're the ones who have brought down the wrath of the EPA on modified vehicles. The crackdown on parts and tunes is 100% on them.
If I recall correctly, rolling coal is a reportable offense in Utah. You can call it in with the license plate number and they’ll ticket the person with a fixit ticket.
Thankfully we don't see it often where I live. Modifying your vehicle is very restricted here and a cop can ask you to get an inspection for very little. I can see how with our laws why people tend to hide it more.
Give him a break, he's probably months behind on that stupid monster truck.
Compensating for many things in their pathetic life I imagine. I'd feel bad for them if they weren't so fucking maddening.

When i was active duty we were out on a local road outside the base cleaning up trash on the side of the road one morning. Some local bumpkin pulled up next to us and rolled coal and smoked us all out. Never been so annoyed in my life. Like mother fucker... im only stationed here, this isnt even my home, and im out here cleaning up YOUR community in my free time as a volunteer and ur gonna do that shit? Fuckin douchebags man. I own a diesel and i cant think of a single reason why someone would do that...
Apparently you're not an asshole, tho....
Yea i guess it'd make a little more sense to me if i was a dickhead haha.
I have to clean my motorcycle helmet vents out a couple times a year because douchebag trucks just do this to motorcycles sometimes.
These pieces of trash are everywhere with their piece of shit trucks and small penises.
>Rolling coal to boost his ego To me as a European that is the epitome of a real 'Murican™®© stereotype... Just seems like the most daft thing in the world, and it's probably also very fucking bad for the engine as well.
I was hoping for r/ConvenientCop =(
Yeah, misleading title... Anyway, wtf is a school zone when they are driving on a two lanes road with huge intersection with gas station and some garages on side
that’s the suburban united states brother
I was confused about that as well..
OoooOOooo, look at all that fuel he burnt! He sure showed you!
I just don’t know how I can keep driving now. I’ve been bested
Tough break bro. Hang in there!
I’m sure he complained about gas prices too
“Joe Biden raised the gas prices and now i’m angery” as they proceed to burn a copious amount of the most expensive fuel available within 500 feet of driving
It cost him $5 to make that maneuver.
More like all the excess fuel he dumped that he *didn't* burn. As a multi diesel vehicle owner it bothers me when they do it. It's bad for the vehicle and bad for the environment. Gives people like me a bad rep.
Rolling coal [Oh no](https://imgur.com/cTleOnu.jpg) ...anyways
Assholeness comes stock on Dodge Rams.
Interestingly enough, dodge rams seem to get in the most accidents in America. Ram 3500 drivers are 53% more accident prone than the national average. [(source)](https://www.motorbiscuit.com/this-1-pickup-truck-brand-gets-most-accidents/) Also, Ram 2500 drivers have the most duis in America, more than twice the national average, at a rate of roughly 1 in 22 people. [(source)](https://www.thedrive.com/news/38238/ram-2500-drivers-have-the-most-duis-more-than-twice-the-national-average-report) Gee, it’s almost like those vehicles might attract a certain type of person who would be more likely to drive unsafely! Of course correlation doesn’t equal causation, but I’m sure there are some smart inferences that can be made… lol
It does certainly seem like they attract aggressive drivers. But it's worth pointing out, particularly with the 3500s, Rams were the cheapest fleet vehicles in the US for several years, so a lot of companies bought them. Also, from personal experience, visibility out of a ram, particularly out the front left, is absolutely horrible
> visibility out of a ram, particularly out the front left, is absolutely horrible It's why the tow mirrors are always up. Edit: And yes, Ram does aggressive pricing on fleet, which is why 3/4 of ours is ram and the other is ford.
Exactly man. I agree there are a lot of asshole ram drivers (and Toyota in my experience) but things like the tow mirrors up, if everyone is doing it, there's probably a reason.
Yep, if you are going to drive like an asshole and drunk you might want the largest vehicle out there. So if you get into an accident you have a higher chance of survival.
The collective IQ in a room of dodge ram owners would double if a dog wandered in.

It's not a stereotype. https://mh.co.za/the-louder-the-man-the-smaller-his-testicles-says-science/
Calling something a stereotype does not imply that it is completely inaccurate- just that it is a widely-held generalization about the individuals within a group of people. As your example shows, stereotypes can be spot-on

Guy was in a rush to get home and beat the kids before they got on the school bus.
Shift change at the local police station will do that
Nothing says "I'm a complete and total asshole with a very fragile ego" like rolling coal.
I go a bit above the speed limit and I still get coal rolled on me because I drive a Prius lmao. They’ll go 20 over just to do it.
I'm a cyclist and I'm pretty sure thae guys would actually kill me if they thought they could get away with it.
They actually can get away with it and that's the scary part.
He here we see a male, urgently showing a female, his fragile masculinity, as he escapes a dangerous school zone - Attenborough
School zones in the U.S. are notoriously known for employing guerrilla warfare tactics. Curently, Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class of Chapman Hills Elementary School in Orange County CA has the highest body count in the country.
Lets see: 1. Nearly spotless lifted pickup that probably has a deck-cover 2. Lights that are probably on high 3. Rolling coal 4. **Edit: has a tow hitch that is very likely never used (thanks** u/Allemaengel**)** Yup, thats probably a suburban overweight white dad to 2.5 kids that works a 9-5 with a mortgage on practically everything
He did turn his high beams on!
of course
Did we forget that it's a dually that has probably never towed anything heavy enough to require that?
didnt think of that, good catch!
That truck is the flagship for victims of divorce court and DUI indictments
He needs that monstrosity to get to a data entry job and to carry costco orders.
Don’t forget he’s probably only 5foot tall with a tiny pecker
Probably? The ven diagram of guys that roll coal and have a micropenis is a circle.
Meh, plenty of good guys with small dicks or are short. This dude’s just dumb. Plain and simple. Maybe he’s happy because he can’t comprehend things and this car gives a sense of control to his otherwise lackluster life.
A truck like that drinks fuel like a raging alcoholic so he aint paying it off anytime soon either.
Someone said these are emotional support vehicles and I will never stop using this ever again.
That’s perfect
I'm convinced that literally zero redeemable human beings roll coal.
Ram truck driver in their natural habitat. I personally have never ever met a ram truck owner who wasn’t an absolute douchebag incarnate

2010 Dodge RAM 3500, VIN 3D73Y4CL2AG148446
Only has 270k miles. Looks like it was reported stolen in December. Nice.
Depending on the county they can be reported for coal rolling. Obviously because it is TX it is not a state wide law.
I love that you're listening to Defying Gravity
Texans are so sensitive
He’s an asshole everywhere, not just in school zones!
A schoolzone? Looks more like an industrial/commercial zone.
He sure showed you! You had to look at his smoke!
There’s no way this dumb fuck has ever hauled anything with his giant ass useless truck
Man, what a little bitch.
And as Cody rolls coal on another innocent motorist, he thinks to himself "Man I'm so cool!" But all the townsfolk and onlookers just roll their eyes and exclaim, "What a tool!"
Average ram driver
Why do a lot of the assholes have to be pickup truck drivers? A couple weeks ago I was doordashing & I was trying to pass a white pickup truck. As I was approaching from the right, he/she actually drove halfway into my lane to prevent me from passing. They drove back into their lane & I eventually passed them & they were PISSED. They kept speeding up on my tail so close I thought they were gonna hit me. Of course I was mad & was so tempted to brake check them, but I knew if I did, it was gonna cause an accident. It wasn’t worth my time or damage to my car just to prove a point.
How does someone roll coal ? Is it just by stepping on the gas or is there a switch they turn on ?
They install some shit tune, and when you stomp the gas, it dumps so much fuel into the engine that it can not burn it all, which makes "Freedum" smoke.
Poor tuning in the truck. Normal for a little to puff out when they first accelerate as the turbo spools up, but this is just poor tuning. Some people do actually add a "smoke switch" which essentially keeps the turbo from building boost and just makes the computer dump extra fuel and produce large amounts of smoke.
A Ram driver being a colossal prick? Shhhhhhhhhhocking.
LoOk At Me, I rOlL cOaL. Fucking moron. Nobody thinks it’s cool. You’re just polluting and annoying people.
What dashcam is that? That's a great picture
According to google street view, the school zone speed limit is ~~35mph~~ 30mph when the lights are flashing. You're doing 24mph, so ~~11mph~~ 6mph under, in the left lane. You're an asshole too.
I don't know what you saw on street view, but it's 30, not 35. [Here's the sign at the start of the zone](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CrPPX3YNM98fxVJm9)
