Mike,
Problem is better half likes to sleep in on the weekends and I want to fire up Bugsy and go for coffee. Now if you experienced first hand what she is like when sleep deprived and I wake her up with Bugsy firing up in the garage. Trust me it isn't worth it. My solution is to pull Bugsy backwards out of the garage and as he starts to roll down the slope of driveway reach in and pull on handbrake. Jump in, fasten seat belt, release handbrake, depress clutch and roll backwards down to the street, turn the key and off I go. The last dozen times I've been successful with this technique and have gotten to enjoy early morning romps with Bugsy. She just doesn't appreciate the fun I have with this car, something women just don't understand. Later.
