Wasting fuel is a decent one. Last time I washed my car it took 2.5 hours.

My question is is there a legit reason to want to leave it on?

Unless you really want tunes from the car and like my car currently, leaving the stereo on for 15 mins will flatten your battery.

Maybe the troll just wanted to come out from under the bridge?

I don't think this is a legit reason either... how well are you going to hear it with doors etc closed.

Also, I thought when they said it was running they meant the engine was actually running (not just the electrics).

Yeah, that's what I mean. Leave your car running so you can get tunes without a flat battery.
Seriously, my battery is so shit i Left my door ajar for an hour or so while I was dong some work and ended up with a flat bat, pretty much just from the interior lights.

Mine was like that for ages too. Just spend the $150 and buy a new battery :lol:

Hahaha I'm just joking
On Sunday at the NSW cruise I was talking about how I will leave my car on when I wash it.
So naturally jack now thinks this dude is me, but it's not.

+ when I said leave it on, I didn't mean running. Just on so I can listening to my sick subwoofers *doof doof doof doof*
