It Might Be Illegal To Warm-Up Your Car In The Tri-State!
It's true, In parts of the Tri-State, you could get a ticket for warming up your car before you hit the road!
According to the website goodhousekeeping.com, in the great state of Illinois, you could get a ticket if you start and let your car run without you in it!
According to the article, "It doesn't even matter how long your car is running, most states consider idling an automatic misdemeanor."
A guy in Michigan was written a ticket for warming up his car in his OWN driveway!
You could be fined up to $5,000 for each infraction!
The good news is that there is no law on the books to prevent you from warming up your car in Kentucky or Indiana!
