Are your "rolling coal" experiences based in WV?

  No, although I'm sure that rolling coal and "Prius Hunting" are separate terms in West Virginia. The article conflates rolling coal with "Prius hunting", which probably isn't intentional. The Wikipedia article for rolling coal also does this. The main reason for my post was differntating these two ideas. Online this seems quite politicized. Perhaps it is exactly that, and my experiences are just different, that's the problem with anecdotes. But my experiences come from car shows where people from across the country travel to host events. A truck will "roll coal" while on a dynamometer with only other "truck guys" around who are not bothered by the fumes. Although while I was searching for the videos I was using as examples in my previous comment, I saw many videos such as "rolling coal on protesters" and many "Prius hunting videos". I find actions such as these poor form and I'm not trying to defend them. Both are obnoxious and polluting, but only one is intentionally malicious in nature.
