    Yeah, I'm starting to think humanity has no redeeming qualities, so midaswell trash the place. Rolling coal isn't going to accomplish much in the short term, so we really need to get those salted nukes going.

    Let me guess, it biodiesel, so everything is fine? I suppose half the crowd are gun owners, sporting anti-abortion badges.

    Murica, **** yeah.

    The great irony being that a electric motor powered truck would demolish these due to the extra torque possible. Okay the battery discharge would be monstrous but in terms of pulling power electric motors are "instant" torque.

    Who wants smoke when you can have FIRE?

    Yeah but, would it poison the spectators as effectively?
