Hyundai recommends that car rubs for 10 seconds to make sure the oil is doing its job

MaxHardwood,

Does it rub the oil itself?

I gotta find the perfect song. What is the perfect song? I don’t know, but I gotta sit here and hit the skip button over and over until I find it.

Putting away the windshield shade, plugging my phone in to charge, choosing what to listen to on my drive, setting the heat/AC/defrost, making sure no one is walking in front of me, and letting the oil circulate in the engine before I get going.

Seatbelt too, but I can’t think of where that fits in the lineup. It’s so automatic, I don’t notice that I have the seatbelt on until I park and take unclick it.

Chickenstalker,

Why, I do a pre-drive 100 points checklist, starting with the right wheel lug nut…

indepndnt,

Right front or right rear?

FreshProduceAndShit,

Dude he’s clearly talking about a motorcycle

PowerGloveSoBad,

Might need to add a few more points to the list if there’s only one lug nut on that single right wheel

nevemsenki,

Waiting for everyone to buckle in. Even that one person in the back.

PowerGloveSoBad,

This. So often, folks feel too busy for even the easiest safety steps that keep everywait who are these people in my car it was empty a second ago

TheOldRazzleDazzle,

Checking my mirrors, checking tire pressure, waiting for the on-screen button to become responsive so I can ok the dumb EULA on screen so I can use the infotainment unit, reconnecting bluetooth a few times because the phone and infotainment unit randomly choose to connect.

well, I usually roll a few cigarettes for the road, put directions on Google maps, and adjust my seating/coffee/whatever else I need to be comfortable. In total it takes a minute or two.

Duamerthrax,

Waiting for the glow plugs.

Starting car Putting on seatbelt Backing out of carport without hitting house hopefully Backing out of driveway without hitting a neighbor dogwslking or biking Looking at the the neighbor’s house wondering what is going on over there Pushing gas to move to next exit trying to remember where I am going.

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.

Waiting for the will to live to kick back in after that brief pause when you're alone in a quiet space
