most of my driving is short trips so instead of giving the motor a chance to warm up I EOC even if it's only for 5 seconds so it's not idling at 1500RPM. As a result, my battery is often too low to start the engine using the ignition, and on more than one occasion of late I've had to push it when I waited too long to bump start it and failed! The starter doesn't have enough juice to start the car, but enough to bump start. Good times, good times. Slightly embarrassing to have to push the car in the middle of town and then jump in and bump start it. My friend's think it is absurd/funny.

Car mods are overrated. Just gotta adjust that nut behind the wheel for best mpg.
