Colorado B.S. Thread

CCLB truck with a leaf sprung front was a trick to drive and park in Boulder

That one is worth it for the graphics alone.

 

grandpa graphics FTW

 

These guys are right up the road from me. I always want to go look, but never do.

 

So you’re saying that it got sick and tired of not blowing up so it slowly ate it’s own wiring?

Good enough reason to never go to boulder. Plus I’m sure they will make diesel trucks illegal there soon anyway

 

It's actually snowing.
Like for real.
100° to snowing.
Lived in Colorado my whole life and this is still a bit of a surprise.

 

I think anyone that owns a diesel should have to stand next to the exhaust for 30 seconds while it's idling so they know how noxious it is.

 

It's worse on a truck with DPF unless you like drowning in ammonia

 

Idk, I’ve breathed in my fair share of diesel exhaust and I’m not dead yet

 

But I also wouldn’t tune a truck to roll coal. Literally no reason to dump massive clouds of black smoke out when the truck can haul the load burning clean

 

Rolling coal is about getting attention from dudes .. just like driving with tow mirrors flipped out all the time

Well if we are admitting this stuff, I’m not going to say I never downshifted and made a car that just cut me off disappear lol. Just saying that people who constantly roll coal are ruining diesels for the rest of us

 

Can one person romping on it make the environment measurably worse in the scope of statewide, national, and global commerce emissions?

Probably not but it is a bad look anyways...always save it for the back roads

 

When I lived in junktown I would have full size trucks black me out all the time just driving around town. It was annoying.

 

A former friend went on a rant about diesel truck owners and smoke right before he borrowed my 6.0l with a race tune on it.

He came back and did not say a word about it.

 

The Cameron Peak fire west of Fort Collins has almost tripled in size over the last three days, but a cold front with snow and rain Tuesday is halting its rapid growth for now.

"This is a complete turnaround from the last couple of days, now we have some rain and snow up in the fire," said Paul Bruggink with the U.S. Forest Service. "It's laying the fire activity down pretty good for today."

The weather is expected to slow fire growth Tuesday and Wednesday, Bruggink said, giving fire teams a chance to assess the damage of the fast fire runs over the last couple days. They also plan to use this time to use infrared technology to find hotspots. Bruggink said this information will help firefighters focus their efforts.

"It gives everyone a little breathing room, recharge your batteries a little bit, and then we'll see what the next few days bring," Bruggink said.

But, he said, the snow is covering more combustible fuels like dry timber and beetle kill spruce and fir trees. Once the sun comes out and the snow melts, there is still potential for extreme fire activity.

The fire is still only 4 percent contained and has burned 102,596 acres of land.

Rocky Mountain National Park has closed Trail Ridge Road. The Larimer County Sheriff's Office has issued voluntary evacuation orders for Glen Haven Retreat, the town of Glen Haven, Storm Mountain, Crystal Lakes, Red Feather Lakes, Lady Moon, Red Feather Highlands, the Shambhala Center, and Glacier View buildings.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.​
