Black smoke is a result of too much diesel fuel in the combustion ratio of air:fuel. If you're trying to make a lot of power from a diesel, the safest thing for the engine is too much fuel as opposed to too much air. The semi style exhaust stacks are just a preference.
nah I mean people who straight up alter their engines specifically so they do this. If you want a diesel truck you can buy one and the engine works perfectly fine. They make specific alterations so it pumps even more fuel into the engine with specific goal of producing black smoke. It's a waste of fuel and pissed off EVERYONE around you if you are driving on a normal street.
I assure you i'm more informed on this subject than you are, the mods are mostly done for power gains. Of course there are plenty of people who get a kick out of the smoke, but the majority of the time people are after power.
even going after the power, can you not understand that on a conventional road anyone at a stop light gets extreeeeeeeemely butthurt by it? Especially if they are directly behind them? I mean, it's borderline hazardous.
@funkmasterrex because i dont give 2 shits how butthurt the people at the stoplights are and the people that mod their trucks like this have enough money to pay for extra fuel plus they sound fucking sweet
I know you're not serious, but only giving me sh!t.
That said, there's one person that lives directly adjacent to my hospital, and I've been concerned about that sort of thing. If only she was an actual worker, and didn't constantly bullshit and coast...
To be honest with you, because you're someone I respect on FS, I feel mostly just responsible. I save THOUSANDS of dollars in gas each year, and am still smack dab in the middle of town. I have easy access to everything.
On top of that, it saves wear and tear on my antique of a car! :D
There are some multi use buildings we were part of the construction of in Buffalo. There are call centers and insurance offices on several floors. Restaurants, a gym and a convenience store on the ground floor. The top two floors are one and two bedroom apartments. There are people who live and work in the same building and some that have their groceries delivered.
There's another in planning that might get a ground floor supermarket with a mini mall and gym above that and alternate business and residential on the rest of the floors. The planners are touting them as cost effective and convenient.
I get that you're saving time and money, and yes I was breaking your stones, but I legitimately would feel like a caged animal and can see why there can be crime and violence in cities where personal space is at a premium.
Yesterday was a bad day, helped friends bury a brother. I disappeared into the woods after, left my phone on silent and avoided contact with people for several hours. It was blissful.
Sorry to hear that.
I don't really have anything to say that won't sound like facebook fakery, but if I could, I'd totally throw a nice bbq & beers for you.
Fuck the elderly, veterans, pregnant mothers, children, asthmatics, etc. ^This guy is #Kewl and he'll have you KNOW it!
