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

    why?

    They see it as a “fuck you” to liberals/environmentalists.

        Same here, giant jacked up white 4x4, the only thing missing was the trump flag. Othello neighborhood, obviously not a local.

            Haha I grew up (sometimes, moved a lot but fam was from) near where Comiskey park was, 33rd & Emerald.

            Yeah, saw the white shitroller, lifted, big wheels, lots of bumperstickers @ othello & mlk last week revving at the intersection then rolling coal over people @ the light rail station. If I had an AT4 at that moment, I’d probably be in jail now.

      Honestly, that’s how I read it, so message received. It’s not the sort of thing you say or do if you’re trying to win friends and influence people, though.
