The macks are nothin compared to Warren Buffet's diesel engines. Then
there are the Alter Diesel engines on the rivers.
Most of the smoke I see these days comes from pretty new dogde or frod
Diesel pickup trucks. The kids put on straight pipes, chips and turn
the pumps way up. They are worse than semi tractors in the 1950s.
There is probably more particulate and NOX coming out of fairly new
pickups than all the VW diesels on the road.
I don't see shoveys butchered that way. Either the scrap metal engine
can't take it or the japanese engineers made it too difficult to bypass
or trick the computer.
All of the pollution pales when compared to just one of mother nature's
belches. (volcano)
The earph heals. albore thinks he is way more powerful than he is. He
is as insignificant as a mole on a flea's ear. We are all
insignificant compared to the powers of God, the earph, mother nature,
or whoever you decide to worship.

Hard to fight back when it's obvious you wrote software to fake the
testing, eh?
There was quite a bit of pushback on the regulations, but this is a
case of wishes overtaking reality, I think. There is severe pressure
to eliminate diesels due to the particulates anyway (and they are bad,
I agree), but the main source of diesel particulates is NOT
automotive, it's heavy equipment an old trucks. One of those ancient
farm trucks with a MACK engine produces hundreds of times and much
soot on a single gear shift than my Golf does in a month of driving.
Even my old Volvo, notorious for smoke, wasn't that bad when it was
running right.
