    Usually I fart, or try to before getting into the car so I don't cropdust myself.
    Turn the key.
    Make sure the Traction Control is on cause I likes the mileage.
    Put in gear and aim for the neighbors paper that lands in my driveway all the time.

    get in, crank car, drop brake, drive off.

    no need to let it warm up, honda already thought about that when they designed the car.

    get in, prime fuel, check gauges, warm up, stage, race

    2) Locate kill switch in the most obvious place.
    3) Start car with the 1 of 7 keys made for it.
    4) Go to the V acting all hard.
    5) Piss out ass after eating at the V...3 times.
    6) Car gets booted.
    7) Ditch car for a non-booted one.
