Anybody heard of or seen this abomination in action?


"The New Jersey Senate voted yesterday to ban a modification to diesel
engines that critics said has been used to intimidate drivers of
eco-friendly cars.

With the modification, cars with diesel engines are retrofitted with
smokestacks that can release a plume of black smoke on demand, in a
practice called "coal rolling."

Environmentalists said the practice has become a sort of protest to
President Obama's Clean Power Plan and that diesel drivers will often "coal
roll" by drivers of alternative-fuel vehicles, using the soot to block
their views.

The bill would ban both the engine modifications and the practice of smoke
blowing (Steve Strunsky, Newark*Star-Ledger*
