It definitely becomes second nature.

It's like the "auto-start" feature - turn and release the key. I had a 325 loaner for 2 days, and was never able to start the car on the first try. I kept expecting it to start like the 5. With the 3, you have to do it the old-fashioned way, hold it till it starts.

phatrosh,

I'll meet you in Bakersfield and we can go together from there. I live close to Fresno, off the freeway 99. I was thinking of asking Pbarch1 through a PM if he wanted to meet in Bakersfield since he is from there. I was going to ask him what time he is going to leave so we can carvan there together. I be doing that some time in the middle of this coming week. So let me know what you think? I have about a three hour drive, it not as far as you. Another member is also coming from San Jo.

Hahaha. When i first got the car, i was like wtf? So troublesome. Like Iceman said, its practically second nature now. I step on the brake pedal now on every car i drive when turning the engine over...LOL

I can't help it now. I feel 'naked' without doing so.

Crazy thing happend before, I inserted the key, pressed the brake, heard the 'Chime" turn the key and the cars starter bugged out, like it started the car and keeped turning the starter and my hand was off the key/ignition.
