Yes, and babies aren't supposed to be in thick coats when buckled into car seats as they can slip out.“Do the roar!”
Call them spoiled, but I ain’t putting my kids into a frozen car if I don’t have too. Mostly for the benefit of the 1 year old and 2 month old. 10 minutes ain’t gonna hurt a thing.
LOL, [likely most] modern cars run a turbo cooldown after shut off so no additional actions by the driver are needed.I guess this is a bad time to talk about letting the turbo cool down before shutting the engine off ?
This is the first I've heard of this. Could you elaborate? What do these countries have, "Idle Police"?Its all about balance in some countries the so called greens have made it illegal yo idle your vehicle at all (which of course is terrible)

Just when you think it can't get any more insane, you're proven wrong.yes and yes.
In Germany for example it is illegal to idle your car for more than a certain time.
I was Stationed there recently.
It may be the local municipalities too.
I think it was 30 seconds in Stuttgart.
I idled while I scraped off the ice in the hope of having enough heat to have the windshield clear.
as for "idle -police" there is a culture in many European countries of denunciating neighbors for various reasons.
This is the case in eastern europe because of their collectivist mentality and recently in Germany as well, as the left has made great inroads collectivist thinking is back and they are about 20 years ahead of the US in the leftist take over.
Speech for example is criminalized there if it offends the wrong people.
The fact that it’s at work and not at home?I have never had to rev a cold or even a hot engine to 6,000 RPM to get out of a parking lot. What's wrong with your parking lot?
My car will stay on high idle until the water temp gets to 200F. Takes a long time in the winter to get there; longer than 10 minutes. Warms up faster driving slowly.
