Bored (bad pic quality)

[ryu_haneda]

Leaving work a few nights ago... just doing a quick walkaround and took a pic of the car before I left.

I do a walkaround before I get in.. I don't check lights though.

[Superu264]

Once a day, not 6 times a day each time I go to my car.

[Wiscon_Mark]

I always use my lights, so I'd have a good idea if they weren't working.

Usually, no though.

[OutbackGT]

I try to. But I often forget. I do let the car idle for at least 5 minutes in the morning to warm up, though.

[dplacencia]

I look over my car all the time!

I look over my car all the time!

+1. I usually do it the night before I go anywhere, or after I get home.

[Reason]

I don't do checks, but always so a quick look or stare when I get out. Like when a hot chic walks by, you need that last glance. lol

[dirtriding]

I do when I fill the tank but thats mainly cuz I like to admire my car :cool:
and +1 on the warmup.

I do that all the time. Girlfriend thinks I'm crazy.

[Reason]

Also why is this in members ride 1???

[subyluvr2212]

I don't do one. Either coz I'm too spaced out, tired, or don't have time.

There's no need to warm up your car for 5 minutes though. Any more than 30 seconds is just wasting gas, honestly.

[outbackmike]

not when your forecast looks like this:

That's what it is here. Nasty weather.

Yesterday, I took a friend to go pick up pizza, I was idling in the parking lot (it's windy) and the temp guage started dropping as soon as I stopped driving it :shock:

[Plays_with_Toys]

I've read alot of the warm up arguments and the biggest consensus I found, even from turbo owners is 30 seconds to a minute is the most you need. So start the car up, get your seat belt on, get a good song going on the mp3 player, and you should almost be good to go. The transmission won't warm up until you start driving, and I know in this weather it's almost impossible to get into second/first after I've taken it out of a gear. I just keep it below 2500 RPM's and cruise nice and easy until the temperatures come up.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Yeah, going from 1st to second yesterday (before the tranny warmed up) was like arm wrestling a troll.

[Reason]

When it is cold I give it a 15 warm up So when I get on the road my heater is working. Screw saving gas and all that BS. I'm going to be worm on the way to work. Next car gets a remote starter so I don't have to walk out there and start it.
