ANY Benefit to idling a GAS engine all night long?

Sledge, you bring a very strong point. As a council member I do know some pretty good loopholes. As you cannot see and abviously the guy driving by cannot either. If say someone happened to hit your (old rusty car) his insurance would have to pay on both vehicles as he was the obstruction. That would probably get his bosses attention for sure. I know a lot of good tactics for getting people attention that are more funny than anything, and too rediculous to turn in to the cops. If you want some good ones I think we all have some good ones for you to give to the neighbor. Like hot dogs in the gas tank, or tampons. Pull the valve stem covers off, remove the core and put the cap back on. pack the exhaust pipe full of 000 steel wool biscuits! That takes to noise off of even straight piped vehicles.
