Goodbye DPF and soot?

And in Scoobys example, either this is a singular personal experience that he is assuming to be the norm, or it's made up by throwing the poor me card.
A more accurate example might be the old toyota burning oil being pulled over with "probable cause" (the pollution or that conveniently busted tail light or any other host of minor infractions) and then citing the driver for expired registration (maybe because it couldn't pass emissions), no insurance and a bench warrant for the other unpaid violations.
That's not a feel bad for the poor scenario, that's a lack of responsibility or give a ____ by the driver of the car.

And none of this has a dang thing to do with the original discussion....big surprise.

Have you met the young lady? But you feel you can pass judgement.
A preacher that knows I can fix some things automotive called me to see if I could help. (Could not) Talking to her, the only life choice she made was believing if she served in the military she would have a leg up on the rest of her life. She has a job, but she needs a car to get from house to house to clean. No, I can't say anybody that owns one of the houses has a pickup blowing smoke.
I don't understand how anybody can declare just because somebody is poor, they made bad choices. 44% of jobs now are classified as low wage work. If you have ever looked at living on the edge, you would see the cost in time and money of just transferring her insurance and registration to another car might lead to missed meals. And likely the time restraint imposed by her job and the ticket, and the fact she does not have cash on hand to buy another car means she will have to pay more for the car, and a higher interest rate than you would.

Well it is because of those people that I have to pay more for fuel due to lower efficiency, pay more for my truck due to the emissions equipment, decreased reliability, and pay more for repairs/maintenance in the long run due to NOx emissions that only effect the health of people in highly populated areas. Why should I have to pay for their wants?

Me me me it's all about me. You do not have to pay. You choose to drive a new diesel truck. If you can afford to drive the new diesel you could choose a new gas, or a old diesel. IMHO, the only choice you should have is to modify the engine to no longer meet emission standards.
