    Winter sleeping bag. I will idle, but it is usually around 0 or lower. I just do not like to pay for diesel.

    Mixed bag here. If I have the truck running, I have them on. If not, I don't.

    This past week, made it a pointless exercise. I was the only truck in the entire row, with my lights on. TIGHT empty spot to my left (too narrow to get in)...now I have a nice scar on my fender from the Great Pumpkin driver, who thought he didn't have to get out and look.

    I'm wondering if he choose that spot based on the fact I had my lights on. :(
