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.
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)
Leave your brother alone and do up your seatbelt please.
You need to do up your seatbelt now.
Do up your seatbelt now, please.

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
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.
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.
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.
