As the title says…what are you all doing?
People who tear out of their parking space within a few seconds of getting in, wtf?
Gottapoopgetoutoftheway!
Understandable. Have a good day.
Hiit’sBobwehadababy…Itsaboy
Sorry, wrong number!
asking the real questions!
Letting the oil circulate before putting load on the engine. Only needs an extra 10-15 seconds, or the time it takes me to scrape during the winter months. No time needed if it was recently running.
Is your engine >30 years old?
No. What modern marvel keeps oil from pooling in the lowest level after hours of disuse?
Oil pumps? Seriously though 10-15 seconds doesn’t sound excessive at all. I would be surprised if anyone is actually in gear and putting serious load on their engine/trans in under 10 seconds.
15 sec is plenty. After 15 sec all of your engine’s oil has traveled through the pump and through the whole system 1 - 1.5 times.
For some, it only circulates when the car is in motion, which is why idling causes extra wear on cars.
For some drive line components, yes, but not for engine oil.
No. If your oil is circulating your engine is fucked.
Bonding with the vehicle on a spiritual level so that we can move as one.
Car: check engine light turns on
“well fuck you, too”
How many times does the judge have to tell you? Stop masturbating in the car.
Make sure to please the machine spirit and anoint it in oil!
Regular offerings!
Moya is not yet ready to leave the Applebee’s parking lot.
I’m just pleased to see so many comments talking about dealing with your phone before you drive. Thank you all.
In many places, if your car has started - even if you’re in park - it’s illegal to use your phone. (I think it’s insane, but best remind people)
Like that ever stops anyone. Georgia is a hands-free state (not really because people eat, do makeup, and whatever else), but I always see people on their phones while they drive.
Letting oil warm up for a bit. Why do you care?
They need the spot. They need it. RIGHT NOW! CAN’T YOU SEE THEIR BLINKER ON AS THEY BLOCK THE ISLE?! BEEP… BEEP BEEP BEEP THEY NEED IT NOOOOOOOWWWWWWWE WHY AREN’T YOU MOVIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG BEEEEEEEEP

Stare into the void and contemplate the utter futility of existence
Yea this one is pretty much it for me.
Waiting for Bluetooth to connect, putting on seatbelt, fixing Bluetooth, putting drinks in drink holders, waiting for Bluetooth, turning on lights, fixing Bluetooth.
And people wonder why I care so much about my phone having an analog headphone jack.
Uconnect?
“People of Lemmy that are not the same way as me: Why are you the way that you are? Any answers must come with justification.”
I fucking hate bad-faith questions like this. OP doesn’t care about an answer, they are just ranting.
Questions like these is why this community exists though.
It’s interesting to read because I’m always quick in the car myself, I enjoy being quick to start and drive out.
Don’t care if others are different. Maybe they want to sit and watch their phone for a while. But it’s interesting to read about it.
Defrosting my windows so that I can actually see to drive
Also, connecting my phone via bluetooth to play music or podcasts
Taking a breather goddamn.
Well I get in, plug in my phone and put on my belt. That’s maybe 15 seconds. Then I turn the key and wait for the glow* plugs to warm up, so that’s another 5-10 seconds.
Flow plugs? lol you mean glow plugs? Should get them warmed the moment you get in and save some time.
Not destroying our engines.
Driving slowly is how you do that. Not by idling.
I have to merge onto the highway 3 minutes after I leave my house. Driving slowly is not an option.
Telling someone that I’m on my way. Finding music to listen to. Figuring out what my next errand is or checking if I have anymore errands.
Putting on spotify and getting a Playlist so I don’t mess with my phone when I start driving. Possibly GPSing.

so much waiting, we call those windows-10.
