Because some deisel owners think they are driving tractor trailer rigs and let them idle for an hour while they perform their important duties at the mall.The Wonderer said:

Well, and leaving a car running in Texas is illegal.MouthBQ98 said:

Glad to see the 84th amended it. Subsection (b) was not there prior to June 19, 2015.dlance said:The Wonderer said:Well, and leaving a car running in Texas is illegal.MouthBQ98 said:

Agreed. Dumb move and he knows it. Just asking for help and to keep eyes open. Reason for posting on Outdoor board and not General was for help, not opinions.

This is circulating in SA and someone who knows someone says that he was picking up food at the Cheesecake factory which is attached to the mall. So it's not like the owner was in there shopping for clothes or whatever.
That's so crazy that it just might work.rwv2055 said:
Maybe we should make it illegal to steal a truck or a dog.

Bo Badouh, 33, said he stopped by the mall around 4:30 p.m. to get a haircut. His dog, Amigo, was with him at the time.
"He goes everywhere with me," Badouh said. "Everywhere. He goes to the office with me everyday."
Badouh said he couldn't bring Amigo into the store with him, so left his 2016 GMC pickup truck running with the keys in the ignition, locked the doors and went to get a haircut.
When he returned about 30 minutes later, his truck was missing.

Or because prior to the EPA absolutely effing up diesel fuel, it was no issue to leave an engine idling for periods of time, some would argue that it was actually better than stopping and starting the engine.Sean Mercer said:Because some deisel owners think they are driving tractor trailer rigs and let them idle for an hour while they perform their important duties at the mall.The Wonderer said:

I only use it for handbrake turns.Quote:
You're legally required to set the parking brake??? I never use that thing!
It's weird, but I've always use the PBrake. Growing up and being taught to drive around manuals just installed that it is part of the normal shutdown routine.Ogre09 said:dlance said:The Wonderer said:Well, and leaving a car running in Texas is illegal.MouthBQ98 said:
