11. A lot of waste and pollution

Idling cars heat slower than ones moving slowly in gear. Idling, especially cold is very hard on engines, it really wears down the rings and other parts leading to a much shorter time between necessary rebuilding of the motor. I think itling reduces the lifespan of the catalytic converter with that soot clogging that part. And then the one where idling hurts everyone, engines burn much dirtier when idling spewing more pollution.
