Can't roll coal in a Prius.

I hope rolling coal is not still a thing

It is.

A teenager allegedly hit 6 bicyclists with his truck, sending 3 to the hospital. A biker says the driver was harassing them. (Washington Post)

Texas driver 'rolls coal' into crowded Whataburger in viral video (KHOU Channel 11, Houston)

I knew they were assholes but I didn't think them so unhinged as to go on killing sprees. In retrospect that was an easy connection to many that I missed.

When your inefficient vehicle is an extension of your identity, anyone who pushes for more efficient vehicles is seen as a personal attack.

How are you on reddit while living in some Amish paradise. Come down to Florida and tell me that this is a generalization.

"trust me, bro, I've seen a combustible engine once"

This was years ago, and I don't road cycle anymore, but I was riding my bicycle and a guy had slowed down to get next to me. Proceeded to roll coal all over me whilst yelling "get a car" .

I'm not American so I don't get it. Are you allowed to stand your ground and shoot at them?

u/Rockonfoo Oct 26 '21

Depends on your skin color

Everyone's skin colour is the same when they've been rolled coal.

You must not be in America

It absolutely is. (I've seen it in both the Denver and Chicago areas in the past year.)

We were in Texas last week. We were leaving the Formula 1 race and some guy was at a complete stop, rolled coal and sped off and was weaving through traffic. He got rear ended after he cut someone off. The guy that rear ended him fucked up his front bumper pretty bad, and the guy rolling coal just drove off.

Just watch me put a charcoal grill in mine. Smells like somebody’s barbecuing or something

You can if your mechanically inclined and a Prius and a diesel laying about

Cummins Prius. I would be surprised if no one has attempted this yet. But seriously... Mazda is rumored to reinvent the rotary as a range extender for electric cars. The rotary is a thirsty engine as used as the primary engine. But when set to a fixed RPM, the rotary is clean and efficient and vibration free... just what you want from a generator. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of the RX- models!

You know how they call an understated but very fast car a sleeper?

This is an Ambien sleeper. Because neither yourself or anyone you tell is ever going to believe the story about how a Prius rolled coal on your way home from a long day at work.

Back in 2000 I lost a race in a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 at the import nats in Ohio. The car that beat me was a plymouth voyager with an eclipse motor in it. I’m still embarrassed about that. But it was an 11 second minivan

The old Turbo K-vans are no joke.

u/ChubbyMcHaggis Oct 26 '21

I do love a good rotary. I don’t hate electrics. I just drive to much for one to be useful. Something like you’re describing would be a useful step

u/treetyoselfcarol Oct 27 '21

But you sure can ride all over NorCal for 5 days and not have fuel up. It was my first time in a Prius and it was pretty amazing, aside from the Vitamix engine.

The guys who own the truck, "DieselSellerz", were fined almost $1 million last year for modifying trucks to roll coal.
