People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?
As the title says…what are you all doing?

Rhaedas, People who tear out of their parking space within a few seconds of getting in, wtf?
netburnr, Gottapoopgetoutoftheway!
CmdrShepard, Hiit’sBobwehadababy…Itsaboy
JWBananas, Sorry, wrong number!
UndulyUnruly, Understandable. Have a good day.
caesar_salad83, asking the real questions!
Bahalex, (edited ) Because it’s a crowded parking lot. People are getting pissy and frustrated because they can’t find a spot to do this stupid shopping…they didn’t even want to come now, but that stupid BBQ is later, so they have to come when it’s super busy. And that freakin guy went the wrong way and got that spot they were trying to get…
A little moment of kindness and acknowledgement is sometimes enough to reset the spiral of negativity and anger.
Or I’ve really got to poop, as previously mentioned.
Nemo, Making sure all the kids are buckled.
sbv, Is your seatbelt done up?
Leave your brother alone and do up your seatbelt please.
You need to do up your seatbelt now.

LemmyKnowsBest, (edited ) okay but I think you misunderstood the assignment. He’s asking what are you doing BEFORE you start the car?
JimmyBigSausage, Oh sorry. I guess I am trying to adjust the seat or eat a piece of cookie I dropped the previous day if it is big enuf chunk.
bjoern_tantau, Hey, I’m fat and disabled. It just takes a bit longer.
wreckedcarzz, Huh, I don’t remember making this comment
Nommer, Letting oil warm up for a bit. Why do you care?

Mojojojo1993, Psych myself up to go to wherever I’m going
rustyriffs,
NikkiNikkiNikki, Transmission is slow on startup (especially when cold) so the first shift always takes a while to engage, and I have to watch the lights to see if I still have enough coolant (fun leak)
Annoyed_Crabby, Some people claimed that one of those stop-leak/stop-slip transmission treatment will help, maybe you should give it a try.
NikkiNikkiNikki, I did, this buddy is too far gone, 3rd gear practically doesn't exist
Pulptastic, Depends. I drive a hybrid and live on top of a hill so my routine is set up to try and keep the engine off until I hit flat land and go above 30 mph. Typically that means plug in and set up my phone, buckle in, turn car in, and slowly cruise out of there with no delay. I don’t really want the engine warming up until it actually needs to run.
DAMunzy, uConnect sucks. It will literally take 10 to 15 seconds to finalize the connection in my wife’s van. Sometimes I wait for it and sometimes I just have Bluetooth off and listen to my phone through its own speakers.
GardeningSadhu, Chilaxin
thorbot, I wait for my car to idle for a few seconds because the dealer told me to. The “cold engine” light turns off and then I’m good to go.
vaionko, Brushing off the snow and scraping off the ice from my windows
waz, Waiting for my kid to put on his seatbelt.
dirtySourdough, 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.
theworstshepard, Adjust seat from when my husband used it. Adjust mirror from when my short husband moved it Put laptop bag down into the passenger footwell Fish can of drink out of my bag and put it in the holder Put phone into holder, turn on Bluetooth Turn of Bluetooth speaker Connect car Bluetooth if it hasn’t happened automatically Choose podcast or music Seatbelt on Set wipers if needed Pull away! Takes a minute, roughly
