A Problem With My Neighbor

Somehow it falls under the discretion of the judge. Either that or that judge did more than he is allowed. But, at the end of that day they were still married. They did eventually get a divorce.

Edit-My husband says I'm making myself sound like a beotch here. I'm not-honest.
 
Actually check your local by laws for an anti idling by law....We have them here. Idling for 4 minutes is all that is needed to properly warm up an engine before driving....Anything more is just a waste and actually does more harm than good. Especially newer technology.

I agree. I have seen websites that say the same thing. Maybe diesel engines require more warm-up time, I don't know.

i usually figure its warmed up when i see the temp gauge move even a little. that temp reading comes straight from the coolant temp(at least with most cars). so if your engine is hot enough that your coolant is warming up, its warm enough inside the block.

that heat has to go from the combustion chamber, through the metal in the block, then into the coolant. well, the temp is usually taken at one spot in the cooling system. so that heat also has to heat up all the coolant, until it reaches that temp gauge.

id guess the very bottom of your temperature gauge is probably at about 100 degrees. for that coolant to be able to move that gauge, its gotta be hotter than the minimum on your temp gauge.

it doesnt have to be HOT, just warm enough for the metals to expand a bit, and gaps to close. oil also loses some viscosity when it is warmed. if your doing 5,000RPM's with a cold engine, that thick oil does not get into the small gaps it needs to in order to lubricate the moving parts. this causes scratching of metal on metal, and heat buildup. this obviously causes problems in the long run, sometimes the short run
 
Little men and their big trucks. They get on my ass and try to intimidate me as I go to work every morning. Gas prices are going up and they'll be hurtin' pretty soon.

lol read b4 that.............ass!...................i have my prioritys st8 the funny thing is that you wouldent say some shit like that to my face
 
I had a 2001 Dodge Diesel and in the winter when the tempes would be around freezing, I would have to wait a good 10 minutes before it was warm enoughf to go. In the dash though was a light that went off when the engine was ready. I lived on 300 acres at the time so I didnt bother anyone ;)
 
I had a similar problem and it friggin SUCKS!!! Not getting enough sleep on a regular basis screws up your whole life. I had to move to solve the problem. Good luck!
 
Two things come to mind. First would be ear plugs!

Second would be to go here and print this out about a dozen times

Then stick it on his windshield under the wipers each morning on each car and mail a copy to them from "the neighborhood"

If they don't respond to that you can file a civil suit in small claims court, however you will make a real enemy.

If it were me, I would do the print out thing and if that didn't work then I'd buy some ear plugs. Just my opinion.
 
I'm not recommending you should do this, but some people in environmentalist groups used to spray expanding foam (available at Lowe's or Home Depot) up into the tailpipes of these sort of vehicles.
