    Wait till you learn about the Idleing LAW's!:biggrin_2559: There a joke! If its -20 and you dont want to freeze to death you have 2 options...Idle and possibly get anywhere from a BIG ticket all the way to being arrested, I'm not sure what you have to do be be arrested for it but it clearly states for Connecticut Idleing:$1000 fine up to Jail, some states do have limits like no idleing until it gets below 30 degress or something stupid like that.


    I'm an full on OTR driver so I run all 48 and western Canada although I've yet to cross the border!

    I've been to all of the Colored states theres only 6 states I havent been to:
