A fleet of idling SUVs on 55th St.

This has been happening every day, for much of the day, for a couple years (they're even visible in Google maps street view). I believe the vehicles are owned by, or serve, the Park Central Hotel. I have emailed them twice to try to get them to stop but I have seen no response or action.

I will post more videos of this same group of vehicles idling to show how it is a constant problem. It is, of course, illegal, and destructive in countless ways.

This video was recorded the morning of 2/3/09.

That really piss me off! People idling for nothing. Again this evening a stupid idiot let his SUV idling while going to the grocery store. I politely asked him why he let his vehicle running for nothing and he replied his mom was inside the car. And it was 6° outside (45°F). I told him it wasn't a reason to let a vehicle idling. Fucking selfish society who wants absolutely their little comfort! One day they will pay the price...
