Interesting timing on this post. Yesterday my wife and I went to the Home Depot here in Las Cruces, NM, to pick up some project stuff for the rig. A few spaces from where we parked the car (we run errands in the Corolla - not the F-350) there was an older Dodge with the Cummins diesel. The truck was unoccupied and idling (very noisily, I might add). We were in the store for a good 30 minutes and, when we came back out to leave, the Dodge was still there... unoccupied and idling. Methinks is was probably a younger guy and a testosterone thing. It certainly didn't seem smart or necessary to me. Oh - temp was in the low 70s and I was in shorts and a T-shirt, so cold weather wasn't a factor.
