Some new people moved in across the street and have several late model
luxury cars and SUVs.

They're pretty standoffish or I'd ask them why when they arrive home,
they sit in their vehicles for several minutes, engine running, foot on
brake before shutting down engine and getting out.

And when departing, they get in the car, start it up, then sit there for
several minutes with foot on brake before driving off.

Back in the day, you needed to pull the choke out when starting and let
the car warm up for a minute before driving- but none of them are old
enough to even have been born back when that was required...

So que pasa?

No idea. I spend a minute or so fiddling with my cellphone, plugging
it into the USB cable so I can listen to my audiobook through the
radio. But not "minutes".

I know a couple of people that have to start up Android Auto, the
Bluetooth music list type of stuff but no reason to have foot on brake.

Maybe they have to check in with their parole officer when they leave
the house?

It sounds like they might be super finicky about letting the vehicle warm up and
cool down. You don't suppose they keep it in drive while doing this?

Why is it that the people who want more government control over your
life are the same ones who want you to be disarmed?

Thats not uncommon with turbos, to let the system cool
down a bit before turning the engine off rather than just
turn it off and have it cool down more abruptly.

And they may have been trained to do that with all their
vehicles rather than just the turbos rather than have to
think about which ones to do that with every time.

And when departing, they get in the car, start it up, then sit there for

There have always been some that drive like that. The logic
behind it is to let the engine get up to temperature before
getting it to deliver much power. But its always been
controversial if thats good for the engine or not.

I never found that to be necessary with cars with manual chokes.

but none of them are old enough to even have been born back when that was
required...

Maybe some trait handed down from grandpa or it might just be screwing
with their electronics.
I agree these days none of that "Model T" stuff is necessary. As soon
as the oil pressure stabilizes I am gone.
When I stop, I turn off the key unbuckle my belt and get out in one
fast motion. It seems to surprise people that I am out and walking so
fast.
I suppose you do know you are supposed to get in the habit of
unbuckling your belt with the left hand? (Right hand for Rod)
Slip your hand under the belt and lift it free with the back of your
hand.
At the Piggly Wiggly it doesn't matter but if your car was under water
it might be the extra few seconds that save your life. You won't get
tangled up in the belt.

Why do you care? Really? They're probably just texting their spouse
or playing with a GPS app.

It takes a lot more than a few seconds for a modern
car to fill with water when its under water. And it isnt
under water until its full of water anyway.

My adult son does that. I'm not sure exactly what he's doing, but I can see
that it involves his phone. Several minutes in the morning before he leaves
for work, and several minutes in the evening when he gets back to the
house.

Hadn't thought of that. But wouldn't the ankle bracelet rat them out or the
phone GPS?

Maybe making that "big deal"

Unlikely when they arrive home.

They take the warm up / cool down recommendations for their high end
turbocharged cars seriously. Some newer designs have electric water
pumps that will cool the turbo with the engine off.
