3. No More Fast Food Drive Thrus.

4. I drive the car immediately upon turning on the car. I no longer warm up the car. I no longer cool the car with the aircondition or adjust windows during idle. I make sure my seatbelt is fastened before turning on the car. I make sure my portable GPS and Scan Gauge are connected before turning on the car. I make sure my sunglasses are on before turning on the car.

All these things are a little anal but this is the only message board that would understand where im coming from!

I do stuff like that too! I sometimes look around, if I am near a traffic light or busy road to time my exit for no stops. So it really helps to park near the exit/entrance of a parking lot. So yea, I concur!
