    The reason I don't roll the windows down is for health reasons. Allergies from all the airborne pollen, exhaust fumes, and the noxious odors from the urine soaked parking lots.
    Not to mention my idling motor will drown out all but the loudest jake brakes running through the lots making all the noise they possibly can. If your state has idle laws, I don't go there..

    I was responding to this...

    Idling laws are the wave of the future. I thought I heard Alabama was considering one, too.
