Drivers, what's your first n last things?

[Vega]

You guys are talking about getting in n out of a tank right ?

[Vhtfhwlego]

sometimes i turn down the music volume button, so that next morning it wont blast my ears when i turn the power/ignition key.....

Come, join the serpent pit.

U would not have these problems as radio tune itself down when u switch off the engine.

Yesterday after reading this thread, I observe myself the things I do:

Getting in;

Found the right car, unlock, flip car, open the door, slot myself in the driver seat & first thing I do,

Step brake before inserting car key & cranking it.

 

Getting out;

Parked, engage gear, step n hold brake before system tells me it is safe to release footbrake.

Sometimes remember to pull handbrake while sometimes forgot to.

Step out, close door, check car is in lot, lock, flip back car key, walk away, turn back & smile at her.

Just before she will be out of sight, turn again, smiled before walking towards the lift lobby.

I check that aircon off and what's not supposed to be on is off, insert key, turn the key and wait for about 5 secs, clutch in, brake on (gear always in neutral when I park), then crank engine. Just a habit that I follow.

 

Sometimes if got space, I will look underneath the vehicle to inspect for any stains or liquid on the floor, as well as general observation of the undercarriage.

 

And the no footwear thing is real.

[Vhtfhwlego]

What footwear thingy???

I got selective readin problems at times .

 

I leave my Aircon on all the time.

 

[So_nice]

i dun wear any foot wear too. except driving my company vehicle.

[TameDriver]

btw, do you drive with high heels? i know some do, amazing!!!

 

Of course I do, depending on the occasion & the car I drive.

 

Like, if it's formal function, I would use the family car to make an impression when I have to use valet park.

 

However, have to take care not to chaf the heels or that $xxx pair of shoes would be ruined!

 

My own personal reasons not to drive barefoot are that firstly, it's uncomfortable.

Secondly, it's uncouth to be seen driving w/o shoes as I may have passengers in the car.

Not ladylike at all!

 

[TameDriver]

But you dont find ah ma drives lo.

 

What makes u think ah mas don't drive?

I encountered them everyday in my area.

I happen to notice becos

They drive like they have all the time in the world in high cc cars, hogging the way between 2 lanes, refusing to give way even when I signal or honk.

Saw a couple of them alighting fr their cars.... They wore high heels!

I tried to drive bare but can't.

Dont like the feeling of bare.

 

Anyway, I don't even have a slipper & always wear covered shoes.

[Count-Bracula]

After getting into your car (1), and before getting out (2), what's the first thing you do in (1), and last thing in (2)?

 

Some will pray for safety?

 

Or, zip and unzip?

 

For me, take off shoes, and put them back........ To keep my toes cool.

 

What's yours?

 

Log in to MCF.

 

Log out MCF.

 

No lah.

 

Put on helmet.

 

Remove helmet.

Bare is good. Now I avoid wearing my boots when driving. Tend to step on both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time. Had a couple of close calls at the traffic junctions.

[Stanong11]

Finish my can of beer when I get in, bring out the empty cans when I get out.... Joking of course, but I connect my Bluetooth earpiece when I get in, switch off my earpiece when getting out.

How come put in neutral when you park? i use gear to hold the car after i park it (even on flat road) in case handbrake fails...

[KARTer]

Come, join the serpent pit.

U would not have these problems as radio tune itself down when u switch off the engine.

oic, didnt know alfa takes care of such details ..... will test drive the new Giulietta hatchback soon (just for experience, not buying, yet)
