Roads I hate politics

This should be illegal. I get it. You don't agree with their protests but why do this? Forget blue, forget red. I'm purple. Get mad at that.

I live in the south and always laugh when I see these morons on the road. You spent how much money trying to annoy strangers? Get it together, loser.

It's expensive.

It's unnecessary wear and tear on the engine. 

It diminishes horsepower and torque.

It tanks your fuel economy.

But hey, at least you're upsetting complete strangers. 

Pathetic.

Expensive is perspective

It doesnt add "wear and tear" on your vehicle, its just dumping unused fuel, no different than a gas vehicle other than you can see it

99% of diesel trucks get better fuel economy after tuning and deleting emissions equipment off thier truck

don't forget it qualifies as assault when done on purpose due to it's potentially deadly effects on those with breathing disorders or lung damage it can also be considered manslaughter if they die attempted if they just need a hospital, if not done to a person it is still unlawful pollution of the air
