Rolling coal is the practice of tampering with a vehicle's emissions control system, causing it to spew black clouds of sooty exhaust.

    Having a truck that rolls coal should lose you your driver’s license.

      And the truck. At the cost of the owner.

      I still don’t understand the naming scheme Pro life, rolling coal… it’s all in an attempt to make it seem better than it is

        “rolling coal” doesn’t sound that good does it? First thing i thought was like an ancient steam powered cart or something

        Never mind that would be pretty cool

          I thought they meant one of those coal-powered cars from WW2.

        Conflating two things together to draw confusion? JAQ-ing off in disguise are we?
