I've always wondered what would happen if someone filled the smokestacks on a truck that is rolling coal up with expanding foam sealant

Not sure, but a quart of ATF goes over like a fart in church and a 5lb sack of flour is good for a laugh.

This should be the mandatory response to rolling coal.

I really want to see some idiot rolling coal have their engine get grenaded by that. Who is up for a trip to the corner of a Super Wal-Mart parking lot in the South? :v:

ATF is great because it makes a giant cloud of white smoke when it hits hot exhaust parts, or is inside hot exhaust parts. GL5 I figure would just... burn. The kind of retard that thinks rolling coal is cool would probably think it was AWESOME if his stacks shot flames, and start doing it intentionally.

I think that's why you need to add some sort of flammable gear oil, and then flour. BOOM.

The trouble with that is the exhaust takes a minute to heat the fluid up enough to smoke. With the flour, you get instant gratification!

Probably a rebadged 330ci. Replica M3 owners are super insecure about not owning one so they go overboard making their wannabes look "super fast".

Doubtful, M3 fenders and rear quarters. Probably a salvage M3 that was put back together cheap.

Unfortunately where I'm at that's pretty tame. You're pretty much the odd man out if your diesel truck isn't straight piped, lifted, and on awful terrible wheels. I'll have to get a picture, but there's a powerstroke I drive by every day that literally has stacks that are a foot in diameter.

The huge diameter lowers the flow speed, making the big bad smoke clouds look distinctly unimpressive. :v:

Soon it will be inline 24"-36" stacks like a cruise ship! Take a 50 gallon drum, chrome it and sell it to idiots.

What really amuses me about these brainiacs is that their amazing COAL ROLLIN :banjo: looks more like a hobo's rubbish fire than anything else once they have cranked the compensation-stacks up that much.

I'm a big Chrysler apologist and there is no Chrysler car to bad for me to defend.

Our Dodge Journey is getting the rear bumper re-attached under warranty again.


You can see how the bumper is starting to bulge out.

this is because the bumper is fixed to the car by the use of a zip tie looped around a metal screw drilled halfway into the frame rail on one sie, and a bare rear end hole on the other. The zip tie is no longer present.

Putting on a new one



finished.



Other side

I suspect the old ziptie was no longer present because small movements had caused it to rub against the bare metal screw until it broke and fell off. The bumper subsequently starts to buckle out of shape. This is the 2nd time now, I can't help but think there is a better way of attaching body panels to cars. :unsmith:

Yes, maybe it wasn't clear but that's not some ghetto hack repair, the bumpers are actually attached like that from the factory. The factory zipties broke off after about 18 months, the car is a MY 2011 and this is the second set of new zipties. Just get them done during regular oil changes.

Hahah what the gently caress, that's seriously the factory repair?

They can't even find an unthreaded screw? I'd just wrap the drat thing in electrical tape before putting the ziptie back on.

Can't wait until the ziptie finishes eating through the FRP bumper cover, bet it's making one hell of a stress riser.
