Speaking for myself:
1. Start car in garage. (damn it was like 30 degrees saturday)
2. Sit in driveway until vehicle will idle at 1000rpm
3. Drive three blocks to 1/2 mile no-traffic straight road.
4. Try to convince reluctant passenger seatbelt adjustment is unimportant.
5. Plant right foot firmly on the right pedal, sidestep the clutch, watch tach idiot light come on and jam second gear.
6. Make split second decision to try third gear or go for the brake.
7. Hand passenger a towel and an offer to get out.
8. Turn car around, repeat step 5
9. Notice that the gas gauge is now 1/4 of a tank less than before Step 1.
10. Return to garage with big grin on face.
11.Clean passenger seat.
