    People who tear out of their parking space within a few seconds of getting in, wtf?

    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.

    Bonding with the vehicle on a spiritual level so that we can move as one.

    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.

    -> Select Music or podcast

    Waiting for Bluetooth to connect, putting on seatbelt, fixing Bluetooth, putting drinks in drink holders, waiting for Bluetooth, turning on lights, fixing Bluetooth.

      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

    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.

    Putting on spotify and getting a Playlist so I don’t mess with my phone when I start driving. Possibly GPSing.

    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.

    Waiting for my windows to defrost mostly.

    I could scrape them clear, but when it’s -15 with 10 mph wind I’m good waiting for 10 mins.
