That's one of the things that struck me and my sister when we were biking in Nova Scotia. I've liked Halifax ever since...
Back to cars in parking lots. In NC, in the middle of a summer heat wave, in every single parking lot you see someone talking with their door open, engine running and A/C blasting. Or doing something around the car with the door open. And you listen to that engine whining and sweating and panting. And you just want to walk over there, turn off the engine and slam the door shut. Hopefully with the keys inside.
I've gotta go to some aggresion therapy or something
